Underbelly
Nightlife · Downtown
Underbelly is the Stay Safe Jax listing for the live-music room at 113 East Bay Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202, in The Elbow. Google Places still matches the title Underbelly at that address, lists (904) 374-9351, and shows 4.4 from 337 reviews. First Coast News reported the same Bay Street hall rebranded as The Albatross under new ownership, with prior tickets still valid. Downtown Jacksonville’s Elbow directory now files the address as The Albatross (formerly Underbelly). This page is that room. It is not 1904 Music Hall on Ocean Street, not Myth Nightclub, and not Bold City Brewery next door.
Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Stay Safe Jax uses the verified Underbelly Places card — 4.4 from 337 reviews — as the headline. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. A 4.4 from a few hundred reviews is an ordinary downtown music-room score. The name on the door can say Albatross while Google still says Underbelly. That is a rebrand, not a new address.
Google currently lists 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily on this card, which reads like kitchen or daytime hours, not last call on a show night. Folio Weekly described lunch service after the 2025 name change. Check the public listing the night you go. Google Places lists wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, and restroom, and does not list wheelchair seating. Stay Safe Jax did not independently inspect the room. Call (904) 374-9351 if you need a specific accommodation.
The Jaxson and Jacksonville Music Experience recap the older path: Underbelly opened in Five Points in 2010, moved to 113 East Bay Street in 2012, closed in 2015, and reopened in 2021 under Jason Hunnicutt and Duane De Castro after 1904 Music Hall’s owners leased the Petra-owned building. First Coast News said Hunnicutt later passed the torch. Folio named Mike Ciero and Steve Blaisdell as the new owners and dated the official Albatross name to April 2025.
Stay Safe Jax leaves warning flags at 0. A rebranded Elbow venue is not a closure and not a scandal. Stay Safe Jax does not add a company website.
