Belly Up Tavern Concerts 2024-2025

The Belly Up has been around since 1974 providing an amazing venue for live music in Solana Beach. Staff has always been amazing, sound is one of the best around, and a great room for music! There are lots of seats around some first come and others reserved to sit and watch a show. I personally want to be in the general admission area front and center as there's no better place to be! Attached restaurant called the Tavern for pre-show meals for basically any time. Also good little restaurants in the general area. Lots of free street parking within two blocks. Shows sell out, so if someone you want to see is playing, get the tickets fast!

Great venue. Excited to come back for another show. Our server and staff were top notch. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see a show here. Also, parking is easy access and plentiful when we came on Sunday. Not sure what it's like on Friday or Saturday.

Saw the Strombellas a Canadian band that really put on a great show in this intimate venue. Odd name for a group of you ask me. The lead singer was amazing with his powerful voice and engaging personality. A really fun night listening to most of their favorites. Sad that they didn't play one of my favs,Florence. Still a great night!

In its 50th Anniversary year, the Belly Up just keeps getting better. My first visits were more than 40 years ago. Even though in the early days they had a divided focus with pool tables, pinball machines and 3-Alarm Chili on the menu, they still managed to draw outsized musical talent. Legendary talent is still drawn to this intimate music venue. May it thrive for another 50 years…after that, anything goes!

Though Belly Up is a bit far from central San Diego, its totally worth the drive! Cozy yet accomodating, I LOVE the loft seating/VIP - they check people before allowing them in the area (which is up 1 flight of stairs and looks directly over the stage), some seats have a small round table top and those have a long bench seat with back support. The other seats up there are individual chairs with a small counter and you have a waitress to bring you food and drinks. Its what I want for every show now. Bonus points that you make eye contact with the performers, they feel that close! Most of the parking is pretty close too. Cant wait for the next show!
