The Venue

Step into the neon-lit legend of The Continental Club at 1315 S Congress Ave in Austin, TX—a South Congress icon that's been rocking since 1955!

From its swanky supper club roots with big-band stars like Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller, it evolved through burlesque shows, dive-bar days, and exploded into a live music mecca. Catch Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Replacements, Joe Ely, and punk pioneers shaking the red velvet curtains—now it's the go-to spot for roots rock, rockabilly, blues, swing, country, and garage rock every night.

  1. Historic murals of European streets restored to 1950s glory.
  2. Classic neon sign glowing over hot rods on SoCo.
  3. Home to epic happy hours with legends like Roosevelt 'The Grey Ghost' Williams.
  4. Over 70 years of non-stop vibes in Austin's coolest neighborhood.

Whether you're a music junkie or history buff, the Continental delivers that timeless Texas twang—grab a drink and let the good times roll!
