Great Bands! Place was rockin ! Did not try the food. Drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent
It was my first visit there and I really enjoyed it. The band, Hey stack was fantastic. It was the perfect country music experience.
Heard about the live music scene and the house band (Barfield and the Tyrant) did not disappoint. They guys rocked the house! Thanks for a great time!
While I was in Austin Texas I was asking where would be a good place to hear music. The Continental club came up a few times so I decided to go here. Parking was not difficult and was easy to find. Prior to the band I came to see was a more popular group covering Elvis songs. Pretty active group and crowd which all had a good time with a lot of dancing. As I went in you can definitely tell since it was significantly warmer with all ceiling fans cranking. I didn't order any food but ordered vodka and orange juice and sat down and waited for the show to start. Unfortunately the drink wasn't good at all and it was the only one I ordered. The staff was okay but I guess they were spent from the previous show. As the room cooled off I was hoping they would turn down the ceiling fans but they kept everything on high even though there were about 20 people in a room that could fit about 50+. It just made things a little uncomfortable. The band, with guest dj, was good and played popular songs which kept everybody in a good mood. I left after about an hour along with a few other people. Would like to revisit if there are any solo guitar artists playing.
So fun! What a great, historical venue. You can sit there picturing what it must have been like to go to a show in the 50's, the place looks like it's barely changed! The music was great, the staff were friendly. We had a lovely time and went back a couple times during our 3 day trip.
Great sound and views of the stage. Hang near the wall to avoid getting shouldered by bar traffic. Friendly bar staff. Hope the show you're seeing is as good as the one we saw.
The best music venue in Austin.
Full stop.
