GREAT 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 Requia

One 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 Castillo

Nice 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!

Andy

The best place to see a show in San Diego

Nick Bogart

One of the best venues in North county . Good drink specials . Excellent selection. Different crowd every night.

Belly 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 Williams

I'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!

Intimate venue. You can see and here the show from anywhere in the venue. Drink prices were reasonable too.

If 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!!
