Belly Up Tavern

This small music venue has hosting great acts since 1974. The sound is really good, the staff is friendly, and lots of servers running around getting you drinks and food. There are some reserve areas, but mostly 1st come 1st serve open seating our you can just in front of the stage to watch your favorite bands.

Great classic California venue. The lineup of acts speak for themselves. While it is not the most perfect acoustic space, it is a really great place to hang out and see a show. Great collection of art rock posters on the wall, the bar food is good and edible, the general vibe here is laid back and warm.

Came in to the Belly Up Tavern for a drink. Went to the bar bot the inside music venue. Loved the iconic rock posters on the walls and could hear the music coming from the show. They have many shows sell out so get your tickets early. Had a great mixed drink menu and several different beers and wines available. Will come back for one of their music shows!

Belly Up is an iconic venue and it's very intimate, but many seats and places to stand have blocked or impared views. Arrive early to stake out the best seats and you won't be disappointed. Saw Gin Blossoms last Friday and they really surprised me with a very solid show. They have a sad origin story, but the remaining band members have been playing together for 32 years and it definitely shows. They sound fantastic and the songs were just as popular today as they were in the 90's and Aughts. I would definitely see them again.

Fourth time I've had dinner before a show here and everything was great every time. Good food, well prepared and a good beer and wine list. Had a tuna steak and the butternut squash tacos as entrees. Great service. Very convenient. Quiet. Not too crowded even at capacity. Reasonable prices. Nice ambiance. The staff is on the ball and coordinated between the restaurant, office, bar and concert hall. Will return!
