Dating Bar

Check out the slide show to see what is was like at the Belly Up before live music by clicking on the image above.
 
Belly Up Tavern caters to young couples. Greg Gilholm describes it as a “dating bar”.  During this time The bar is only licensed to sell beer and wine. In the back, where the stage now resides, ping pong tables line the wall. The Belly Up Tavern also featured red felt covered pool tables, checkered tables for playing chess and checkers, pinball machines and the first ever pong game in California. The early menu featured Polish sausage sandwiches and pickled eggs. What was important to Dave and Greg and what to this day Greg thinks was one of the key policies to the bars ultimate success was to keep the restrooms spotless. A tradition that is still kept to this day. A mustached Greg Gilholm is seen here playing ping pong.
