What People Are Saying About Continental Club

In Short – This rare Austin relic opened in 1957 as a supper club featuring groups such as Glenn Miller. Continental's retro tone is present today with its classic neon sign and frequent vintage car-driving customers. Since the 1970s, it's been the casual setting for some great music: country, blues, rockabilly and singer-songwriters. Annual events include Elvis' birthday party. Many clubgoers--including 20-something tattooed cowgirls--use the back room for an occasional breath of air or a game of pool.

A Happening
by wwed at Citysearch
The Continental Club is the BEST club in Austin. If you never made it to the Armadillo World Headquarters, check out Toni's Hippie Hour on Tuesday nights. The Continental is the ONLY place in town where you can still get a feel for what the Armadillo World Headquarters was like--this is the magic of Toni's Hippie Hour.
The Continental Clus is the BEST club in town, that's all there is to it. From Tuesday's with Toni to the Blues Specialists on Fridays to the ELVIS Shows, Buck Owens Bash, and so on and so on, you can't go wrong. The folks there are great, the atmosphere is great, and the crowds are great. Peanuts at happy hour. And don't forget all the Classic Cars you'll see!!!
The Details on Continental Club
The Extras:
The club opened a Houston location in 2000. The site was a general store in the 1920s. It looks the same, but it's twice as big as the original.
Happy Hour:
Toni Price's famous Tuesday Happy Hippy Hours are free blues-torch shows that always attract lines of patrons out the door.
