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.
- Historic murals of European streets restored to 1950s glory.
- Classic neon sign glowing over hot rods on SoCo.
- Home to epic happy hours with legends like Roosevelt 'The Grey Ghost' Williams.
- 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!
