Seating Recommendations and Charts

Belly Up Tavern offers seating for approximately 600 guests, with a primarily general admission layout that puts most of the crowd on the open main floor for a close-to-the-stage experience. Select shows may offer limited reserved seating and VIP tables, and there are raised viewing areas along the sides that improve sightlines.

Main Floor (General Admission): Ideal for fans who want to be as close as possible to the performance — arrive early to claim a prime spot near the stage.
VIP Tables (select events): Reserve for guaranteed seating, great views, and a more relaxed experience without needing to line up early.
Raised Viewing Areas (along the sides): A smart pick for clear sightlines above the crowd, especially if you prefer a bit of personal space while still feeling the energy.
Reserved Tables (select shows): When available, these offer a comfortable seated option with reliable views of the stage.

Use Ticket Purchase' interactive seating chart — including the Belly Up Tavern seating chart for select reserved/table shows — to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Belly Up Tavern

143 S Cedros Ave

Solana Beach, CA 92075

Located about 20 miles north of downtown San Diego, the venue sits in Solana Beach’s lively Cedros Avenue Design District — a walkable neighborhood filled with shops, cafes, and local flavor.

Parking: Limited free street parking on Cedros Ave and surrounding streets; paid lots nearby. Parking can be challenging during busy events — arrive early.
Public Transit: Solana Beach Coaster Station is within walking distance (serves Amtrak and Coaster commuter trains); local bus routes also available.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated drop-off/pickup zone on Cedros Ave near the venue entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. If it’s a general admission night, getting there early helps you secure a front-of-stage spot and navigate parking with less stress. For table or VIP reservations, early arrival ensures a smooth check-in and time to grab a drink.

Events are indoors, so weather rarely impacts the show. That said, coastal evenings can feel cool before and after the concert — a light layer makes post-show strolls along Cedros Avenue more comfortable. If you’re taking the Coaster or Amtrak to the nearby Solana Beach Station, leave a few extra minutes for the short walk.

On popular nights, street parking fills quickly. Consider paid lots nearby or plan for rideshare at the designated Cedros Ave zone. If you’re meeting friends, set a convenient meetup point ahead of time — the venue’s entrance and the surrounding Design District offer easy landmark options.

Venue Navigation

The Belly Up is a single-level venue with a primarily open floor plan, so it’s easy to move from the entrance to the bar, merchandise, and viewing areas. You’ll find raised viewing areas along the sides for better sightlines, general admission space up front, and limited reserved tables/VIP options for select events.

On-site amenities include a full bar with snacks, local craft beers, and specialty cocktails, plus Belly Up–branded and artist merchandise available during shows. ATMs are available on site, and there’s an adjacent Belly Up Tavern restaurant next door for pre- or post-show dining.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Small bags and purses allowed; large backpacks and oversized bags are prohibited.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food/drink, professional cameras (without prior approval), large bags, illegal substances.
Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
Arrive 60–90 minutes early for general admission shows to lock in your preferred spot near the stage.
If you’re taking transit, use the nearby Solana Beach Coaster Station and walk to the venue; for rideshare, head to the Cedros Ave pickup zone after the show.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by exploring the Cedros Avenue Design District before doors open. It’s a short, walkable stretch with boutiques, galleries, cafes, and breweries just steps from the venue. You can grab a bite at the adjacent Belly Up Tavern restaurant next door or pop into a local taproom, then head in when doors open.

For general admission nights, coordinate with your group and arrive together — it’s the easiest way to secure a shared spot near the stage. If you’ve reserved a VIP table, plan a relaxed timeline so you can settle in, order a drink, and explore merchandise before showtime.

If you’re driving, consider paid lots nearby to avoid circling for street parking. Transit riders can plan their Coaster or Amtrak timing to align with doors or openers — the short walk from Solana Beach Station makes it simple to arrive early and enjoy the neighborhood.

Belly Up Tavern is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby lots and on-street spaces (first-come, first-served). The venue is single-level and accessible, and accessible seating is available upon request — it’s best to contact the venue in advance for arrangements.
