Love this place! Not too small and not too big of a venue with a great sound! I have been many times and love their selection of artists! The balcony seating is the best (a little more money, but worth it)! More

Unending variety and surprises. Roster of coming performances on marquee, but some acts aren't announced. Early happy hour fun or stay and dance the night away. More

Great little place to listen to music of all kinds. Really gives you the intimacy of connecting with the bands on stage and they get some great talent in this venue. More

This place seems to have concerts just about every night. While not the biggest and lacking seating for most patrons, it offers a great variety of concerts. More

This is a small venue, which makes it a great place to see live music! If you love live music, check out and see who's playing before your visit... highly recommend! More

This is the best venue ever for great live music. It's small so it's hard to get tickets to big name groups but so worth it. We loved it there. Very very casual and great feeling. More

This bar and stage is a terrific place to see live music. There are 3 or four different areas to enjoy the show. You can hang out at the large bar and see the stage, there are some tables and seats towards the back, there is an upstairs area with theater-like rows (though it's sideways to the stage) and of...

The Belly Up is a true Southern California legend.

As a resident of North County Coastal San Diego for 40 years, this is the tried and true night spot in my book. I don't want to call it a "night club" because it isn't. It's a casual concert hall where you can dance or sit and relax to enjoy the music. If you want to see something new and... More
