The Belly Up Tavern
Rockin' San Diego since 1974
Rockin’ since 1974, Belly Up has received national accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine “one of the hottest clubs on the West Coast.” Voted “San Diego’s Best Live Music Venue” numerous times the Belly Up brings the best in new, up-and-coming artists as well as established legends with genres ranging from alternative rock, rock, reggae, and hip-hop to blues, folk, jazz, Latin & more!
Past artists who have graced the Belly Up stage include: Death Cab for Cutie, Maroon 5, Black Eyed Peas, Blink 182, Etta James, Gwen Stephani, Ben Folds, Jack Johnson, Steel Pulse, The Roots, Bo Diddley, Dialated Peoples, Poncho Sanchez, Donavon Frankenreiter, Mason Jennings, Ben Harper, Curtis Mayfield, Aimee Mann, Dennis Quaid & The Sharks & many more. Locals appreciate the Belly Up for the little things like free coat check, free parking, ins and outs, reasonable bar prices, and affordable ticket prices, and fans also appreciate the “big things” like the world-class sound and talent in an intimate environment (600 seat capacity).
Belly Up not only features live music but is also available for private events. Hungry during a show? Belly Up offers a delectable bar menu as well as a full service bistro-style restaurant (Wild Note Café) right next door. Why not wine, dine and skip the line?
