Paradiddles Music Cafe Bar in Worcester

So, after falling foul of Keep the Change on my last visit to Worcester, I was a little wary of trying anywhere new. My experience of vegetarian and vegan food when eating out is a mixed bag, so trying here at the suggestion of my partner was filling me with slight trepidation. I could not have been more wrong. The food here was excellent, generous portions and wonderful flavours. Not a shred of iceberg lettuce in sight!!! I loved the way that the vegan options on the breakfast menu were treated as the "norm" and "You can ask for meat or dairy versions" a wonderful take on menu's. Its how things should be from now on, with the vegan option being treated as the new norm, whilst not denying those who still choose to be carnivores their right. The service was super friendly, the person serving us appeared to be either an owner or tied in to a significant level from what they said, and a wonderful atmosphere despite the fact the pestilence sweeping the world means normal relations cannot be maintained. I cannot recommend this place enough, will definitely be back, and cannot wait until their live music restarts, so we can enjoy the place as it was intended. If you fail to go here, you only have yourself to blame. Its an absolute gem of a place, and we plan to come back again and again. Oh, and the wallpaper music was the best I have heard in a long time, since going to the Devonshire Arms back in the early Noughties down in Camden Town, so these people clearly really LOVE their music, and have good taste to boot. When my friends visit me in Worcester, this is where I plan to take them.

After moving to the Worcester area, I needed to find somewhere to take my almost 2 year old son for our weekly ‘daddy dates’. I had walked past here a few times on other visits to the city and always wanted to pop in, as I’m a drummer and used to work as a barista. I was blown away when I did pop in with my lad. This place is incredible. Super friendly staff, cool interior, comfy seats, decent coffee, beer on tap, gigs going on (evenings), great music playing through the day, food available and maintaining current Covid guidelines. My son loved it too. I’ve literally never seen him enjoy a coffee shop visit as much as this. Safe to say that we have found our new venue for daddy dates and I’ve found my new go-to coffee shop.

My Mum and I visited Paradiddles for the first time tonight to take part in their music quiz. Can honestly say had the best time, with brilliant hosts, great atmosphere and to top it off - we even got a prize for coming last! Absolutely top value for money. Will definitely be back for the next one!

You must try this friendly delightful place. Owners are super friendly. I went with a few friends on Friday night for drinks and pizza. Pizza is made to order from scratch. Drinks are reasonable unlike some of the places in Worcester where you pay stupid prices. Try their quiz night or music nights. Well done owners on this little gem

My wife & myself popped into Paradiddles for a cup of tea & a beer.After ordering we met up with one of our friends. The venue was fairly busy, yet service was still prompt & the owner who work the venue are very friendly.After finishing our drinks & enjoying the music playing in the background we decided to have another.We found that they also served panini’s so we ordered two.They didn’t take long to come out & they were delicious. I can recommend this venue for a drink & something quick to eat as it is very welcoming.

Went on Sunday afternoon had a great time ,lovely place fantastic music and the owners made everyone most welcome. Ticked all the boxes.

Lovely little cafe, music themed (hence the name) live gigs, good pizzas, great coffee and some nice beers (music themed) too! The Quiz is always good craic and good luck to them! Just celebrated their first birthday - hopefully the first of many! :) x

We were in Worcester for a presentation last weekend and were wondering what to do on Saturday evening. We had seen Paradiddles as we passed earlier in the day, so we thought we'd pop in for a drink, we left 4 hrs later... With local bands playing, a great atmosphere, nice wine at a very reasonable price ,we had a really good night. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like quirky and cool you will love it...

Friendly atmosphere and excellent music. Best place to just chill out. We should all be supporting local independent venues like this one. Great selection of vegan drinks, cakes and pizza

A great place for coffee and cake. Welcomed kids and dog. We had never visited Worcester before, but staff gave us tips on places to walk etc. Was great value and would definitely return.

Been meaning to check this place out for ages. Can’t believe it’s been open almost a year! Popped in today to see if they do lunch.Small, but cosy and welcoming. Cute courtyard garden at the rear. Great music playing. Really simple food menu of veggie, vegan or meat pizzas in two sizes. Good choice of drinks, from coffee (including decaf & soya) to stocked bar.Chilled and enjoyed my coffee whilst reading my journal. My pizza came: wow! Freshly made, thin crispy base, loaded with veg, delicious, great value.Will definitely come again and be recommending it to others.

Its quite small but has two separate areas, one I think for food etc and one for bands. I had a coffee there. It has bench seating with adjacent internet access and older comfortable chairs. It is relaxed with a slight bohemian feel. There is a book case and boxed games for children and adults. I understand it serves food including vegan options and it is licenced. I can't comment on any of that because I didn't see any menus available. I also understand that there is a practice facility available for bands. There is an extensive programme of local bands, generally free access and they have quiz nights. This is an interesting place, I'm not sure quite how its business model works but I wish it well

Paradiddles is a music themed cafe and bar - live local musicians play here and the atmosphere is really friendly and relaxed. Enjoyed a quick coffee and snack, but will be back for pizzas as soon as possible.
