Great atmosphere - pre-concert excitement combined with great food and drink. If you're lucky enough to be in good company, you've got it made!
It's a decent venue, but somehow every time I go I get the nonstop talkers around me. My personal opinion is the crowds at belly up shows aren't my favorite. They are nice, but always seem to talk through most performers sets. That or I get the new couple that makes out next to me. I don't have this feelings about any other SD venue even the Sound that's in the same area. No idea if it's my choice of spots in the venue or the venue itself. If you wanna chat hang at the bar.
Atomic groove best happy in the world
Fun bar to listen to music! Ample seating in tiered sections with two bars on opposite sides of the room. Rarely is there a long wait to get drinks. I've been here many, many times over the last 20 years, and I am excited when my favorite bands play at this venue.
Awesome. Favorite place to see shows!
Great venue and the sound is fantastic! Drink prices are ridiculously high though.
Saw preservation hall jazz band. Good show.
