Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach

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.

Absolutely fantastic venue. We had a BLAST. And they sell ear plugs! Bar tender on the side bar area was excellent, friendly with the crowd and delicious cocktails. Waitress service was stellar in that environment. Really took care of everyone. Can’t wait for next event!

First time at BU to check out Fan Halen, whom are very good, high energy and entertaining. It’s a cool spot, but would say not best sound nor layout. Lots of obstructed views if seated in left side of venue if not able to get an front table, yet view is obstructed by other patrons. Glad I went as many locals hype Belly Up and can at least say I’ve been, however, regardless of who’s playing there, I won’t be back.

The belly up is one of the best music venues in San Diego.. so much fun and a great crew. Good vibes always.! I love watching bands play there. 🍻❤️❤️👊👊💯💯💯💯
