The internationally acclaimed Belly Up Tavern in Solano Beach CA (San Diego), is one of "those" live music venues. You know the kind, it that has seemingly always been there producing quality show after quality show to sold out crowd after sold out crowd and has no need to be known as the hip new flavor of the month. It rests firmly on its laurels with no need for hype. 

The Belly Up opened  in 1974 with only a couple of mics and no stage. Over the years it became a frequent stop for legends like John Lee Hooker, Etta James, and BB King. Epic performances by Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton, The Neville Brothers, and Toots and The Maytals also are a part of the club’s early legacy. Since then, many artists have stopped by on their way up the ladder, including No Doubt, Black Eyed Peas, Mumford and Sons, Childish Gambino, and many many more.
