Navajo Live is a decent live music venue by night and an okay bar during the day…read more I've been to Navajo live both during the day just for a beer of two and at night to see a band perform. A dark bar, the lighting is nearly nonexistent during the day. Drink prices are reasonable and the bartenders and regulars are friendly. It gets pretty crowded when the band fires up. The low ceilings can make it seem a bit claustrophobic. The acoustics aren't the best, but when you're head banging, acoustics take a backseat to volume. LOL!

Mondays are open mics and the acts are a variety of mostly acoustic players but if you're ever in…read morethe neighborhood, this place has good vibes, fast bartenders and a motley crew of regulars that are a riot. But if there is one reason to make open mics it's for Ian, AMAZING LOCAL MUSICIAN!!! He is usually the awesome sound guy but on Mondays he transforms into a rock star, a-freakin'-mazing. Come here when bored on a Monday night just for a chance to catch one of his sets.

The night we visited, there was a heavy medal band playing, so we left early. I would visit again, but I'd make sure the band plays the type of music I enjoy listening to. The service was okay.

WARNING! DO NOT GO THERE. I called this bar after experiencing severe memory loss, dizziness,…read morenausea, and other symptoms. MIND YOU I ONLY HAD 2 DRINKS. Following my visit and asked if they had security cameras. The employee who answered responded with 'well did you have fun' and then said that if he only had two drinks and wasn't 'that messed up, he would want to be roofied too. I told him this was a serious situation and that his response was completely inappropriate. I later contacted the sheriff's department and was advised to document the interaction. Regardless of what happened that night, the way this concern was handled was disturbing and dismissive. Customer safety should be taken seriously. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING THERE AND IF YOU DO..MAKE SURE YOU WATCH YOUR DRINK THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

I had the fried calamari and the shaken beef and they were both really good. My drink was California Love and that was also good. 10/10 recommend for beach side vibes without giving up taste.

GA can also stand on the balcony but we preferred staying on the same level. ushers / security were helpful abt telling us where we could go, but also diligent abt asking ppl to move if they were obstructive. backstage staff were also quick to mop up the stage floor upon artist's request. our main complaint was how hot it got, again even tho we were far back & not even in the crowd; even the artist made note of it. $20 parking wasn't ideal either but we've also seen worse

She made sure not to select obstructed view seats. The seats were the back row of the balcony. We could not see the left half of the stage and could barely see the heads of the center performers. When the people in front stood up we couldn't see a thing. If you select balcony make sure it's the front row. You'll be able to see everything. The sound wasn't great. There were several songs either a buzzing like a cord was bad. It continued through the whole song. They do not provide kids for their drinks at the bar which is weird because I thought it was a California law. Maybe it's not in effect yet. But it does explain why the floors were sticky. Parking was crazy. $20 with no option to park elsewhere. And no direction when you were leaving. A little chaotic. Probably wouldn't go here again unless I got front row balcony and I really wanted to see the artist.

And she delivers when it comes to showcasing extraordinary talent at a fraction of the cost, making for a memorable experience. The Merc pays weekly tribute to the Jazz art form on Thursday evenings. This small, quaint venue has comfortable seating and a refreshment stand providing wine, soft beverages, and snacks. This Thursday, "Jazz At The Merc" hosted the Louis Van Taylor Quartet, comprised of acoustic piano, upright bass, drums, and Mr. Van Taylor on tenor and soprano saxophone. The performance was perfect! Contemporary, modern Jazz with heart, soul, and talent! Highly recommend.

We were looking for a fun evening to bring in the Christmas spirit post Thanksgiving and I saw this advertised concert on the website that I thought our daughter would really enjoy. I went ahead and purchased our tickets which were very reasonable for a show. I love that Belly Up has its own website so people can still afford to attend their shows. We saw Grammy nominated and Father of Contemporary Jazz David Benoit perform all the Peanuts Christmas songs from A Charlie Brown Christmas. WOW! What a terrific show! We sat on the main floor right up close to the stage and we all had such a good time especially our daughter as it was a surprise show for her. The layout is perfect with lots of open space, a bar area, dance floor and a second level. It is quite large inside but you cannot see that from the outside. Acoustics are perfect and David Benoit is still the master of the piano. He had a guest vocalist Courtney Fortune which added to the evening performance. Parking is about the only challenge so we made sure to arrive extra early and grabbed a spot right out front. Also parking was free! I definitely recommend this venue for good service and great music.
