Great venue for a close-up show. Acoustics were solid, especially with the variety of instruments and sounds during this fantastic show. Thanks Belly Up Tavern!
What a nice concert venue. I like the set up that allows ppl to sit on both sides and still have good views of the stage. The bar isn’t too far from the stage. I’ll go back for more concerts.
I finally got to Belly Up and for a "first timer" it didn't disappoint! I'm grateful to my friend, who had been before, for knowing how to get the best seats. There are only a few seats available, and if you're not quick, you may end up standing. The band was good, George Throrogood & the Destroyers, the food was good, the service was very good and the drinks were OK, but expensive. Parking is free but minimal. Overall, I was impressed and would not hesitate to return.
Okay. I'm gonna get letters. If I could, I would give this venue 2 1/2 stars. This is for General Admission, by the way. The parking was easy enough when I got there an hour early. Say just over 100 yards to the back of the line. The line, eventually, was longer in back than I was to the front, so fine. Getting in, I quickly found that the, "No guarantee of a seat", on my ticket was prophetically true. VIP members get first dibs on seating, so, maybe, two hours early? Also, don't expect that eating next door will be your gateway to an early admission; not on a sellout. Expect to be standing for the entire show. I was grateful for my spot against a pillar and some row seating. I had AC at that spot as well. Hey, viewing is good from everywhere, so there is that. About the show in relation to the venue; here's where it falls apart for me. I need to remember IT'S A CLUB. Full bar, and it looks like food can be ordered as well (seat specific, I'm sure). The talking around me was distracting at times when quiet was called for and the music loses out sometimes. It does sound okay otherwise. There it is. Hey, I'm glad the Belly Up has been here as long as it has. Goodness. It was there when I lived nearby almost 50 years ago. Kudos to them. The most important things to know are to wear comfortable shoes, and pick shows that work well in a club-like setting.
