5.0 of 5 stars. Walking by after a Zen lunch (mediocre, f.y.i.) at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. "That music actually sounds good," I said.Well, we were in no rush, so we stopped in. They checked my ID and not...

5.0 of 5 stars. Nice, unpretentious place that was very welcoming. The staff was very friendly and impressive, especially because I expected more of a disaffected-roll-your-eyes-at-the-tourists reception. We saw a...

5.0 of 5 stars. Really nice venue to watch a band with no cover to see Red Volkerts and free peanuts. Seating galore. Very pro-Kinky Friedman.

5.0 of 5 stars. I went here last night and really enjoyed myself. I wish I would have paid attention to the name of the band because they were playing great old school blues. I also really appreciated the mix of age...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is one of the ventricles of the heart of Austin. Oddly enough, the best show I've seen here was actually a road act: Bill Frisell. Toni Price's Tuesday nights continue as a tried and true...

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is wonderful. Early on a Tuesday night you can go, sit back at the dark bar and wait for the lovely Toni Price to come on. She is a genuine Austin legend and keeps reminding us why every...

5.0 of 5 stars. Make the Continental Gallery your hangout before everybody else does. My prediction is that in six months, this place will be overrun by hipsters and bedheads. It'll be too crowed then, and you'll...

Yelp.com Review - by Sherri C.

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite live music venue in Austin just because if you come often enough it becomes like a second home or at least it has for me. The first show I saw there was Radney Foster. I came down with...

5.0 of 5 stars. I finally got to check this place out a couple of weeks ago. It is definitely a place everybody needs to go to at least once because 1) there's a great view of the city from the rooftop (or so I hear...

Yelp.com Review - by La G.

3.0 of 5 stars. When I first walked into the Continental Club on South Congress, I thought, "this looks like the bar in Reality Bites." Anyway, I've been here twice and saw mediocre bands. I expected more, I think,...

5.0 of 5 stars. Once upon a time, a band called the Cobras played on the stage at the Continental Club whenever no one else could perform. Eventually, their lead guitarist - Stevie Ray Vaughan - got a little popular...

5.0 of 5 stars. If a tourist were to pass me on the street and ask me, "What's the one thing I should do while I'm in Austin?", I would without hesitation tell them, "Go see Toni Price."Actually, forget tourism. If...

5.0 of 5 stars. Tuesday night, Toni Price. That alone wins this place at least 5 stars.Bottled beer, okay drinks. There's always something "sketchy" going on out back. But those of us who wrangle our way up to the...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is without a doubt the coolest place in Austin to listen to live music and drink a beer. An Austin icon. If you go to a show and like the band, chances are that they regularly play at the...

5.0 of 5 stars. The music is (almost) ALWAYS good here. An Austin institution, go hear why. Reminds me of now long gone El Matador in N.O. but w/o the brass.. and it's bigger. Doesn't look like they're changed...

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...

What a night!

I visited the Continental (from the UK) during SXSW in March. Had a fantastic night. Great acts, great atmosphere, what more can I say. Highly recommended!

great music = great evening

Almost any night you walk in, you'll hear music you'll enjoy, if you're open to roots or rockabilly. The club hosts mostly local or regional acts, with the occasional legend on tour (Link Wray or BucK Owens...
