Brad HagerNovember 25, 2015GREAT place for LIVE music. Good beer, & the Don Julio 1942 tequila is AWESOME!! 👍👍 Gets very crowded & sells out for bigger names so buy your tickets in advance.
Anthony RequiaDecember 30, 2015One of my favorite small concert venues. This place is awesome. It feels like a small airplane hangar and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Also located in a great area, right by the beach!
Mario CastilloFebruary 2, 2016Nice place to hear live music & drink, don't forget anything in the car because once you are inside you can't go out and re enter, the parking is complicated sometimes!Upvoted Nov 17, 2024
One of the best venues in North county. Good drink specials. Excellent selection. Different crowd every night.
OrganikSEOAugust 9, 2011Belly Up is definitely the place to go if you want to enjoy, great live music. More spacious than your average bar, but maintains an intimate setting, which I think is one of its biggest strengths.
Sydney WilliamsJanuary 6, 2016I'm obsessed with Belly Up. They serve food too, so if you're coming for a show and need a place to eat, you're all set!
Belly UpOctober 21, 2011Did you know you can host your event at the Belly Up, thats right folks it can be all yours for the night! From Holiday Parties to Charity Fundraisers if you can imagin it we can make it happen!
Christian BDecember 27, 2013Intimate venue. You can see and here the show from anywhere in the venue. Drink prices were reasonable too.- Belly UpDecember 12, 2011If Franz Ferdinand make rock music that girls could dance to, Digitalism make electronic that everyone can rock out to. So come rock out to Digitalism TONIGHT at the Belly Up!!

Check out Dead Feather Moon and Transfer any time they play...2 awesome bands!!- Meg H.September 13, 2010Atomic Dance Groove party seems to be popular with the 50+ crowd oddly enough. I would say 80% of the crowd was in that age range for this.
