    My first time here was recently on a Thursday night. Parked on the street and easily walked across the street to the bar. It wasn't very crowded but my group quickly livened the place up! We all had a nice time in this space. I absolutely love all the plants throughout. I'm easily impressed since I don't have a green thumb... at all! The plants were a lovely touch. Although I'm not a serious cocktail drinker, I was able to enjoy one of my fav beers by Uproot Brewing ( recently closed). The bartender was knowledgeable and fun. There's such a nostalgic vibe here. Who doesn't love neon lights?! Next time I visit, I'm gonna make my way out to their food truck!!! Overall, this is a nice little spot to grab a night cap with friends or solo. I'll be baaaaaack!

    Been here a few times to troll the Arsenal Fan Club. Not sure what goes on here at night, but the place has a pretty cool vibe. It's a few blocks from the Lakeview bars and probably farther than you'd want to walk after hours. Nice long bar making service easy. Haven't tried the food. The menu looks ok though. BTW, Arsenal fans are wankers.

    My bestie and I stopped by Continental Drift during the holidays and had a blast. The inside decor is cool and swanky, with colored lighting and plenty of couches to lounge on. The cocktail menu is so fun! Lots of different flavor combinations to explore. Our server was also very patient and gave great suggestions for drinks. I can't remember the names of what we chose but they were delish. We also went out to the Drift Kitchen food truck and OH MY GOODNESS... it is so good! We got wings, deviled eggs, and brussle sprouts. Everything was shareable, which is great for social outings. Their menu rotates through different cuisines every few months so they can be your go-to spot for taking your tastebuds on a tour around the world.

    NEW BAR! NEW BAR ALERT! NEW BAR! NEW BAR ALERT! NEW BAR ALERT! We saw neon lights and a food truck on the way home, so we had to stop! This bar was a great find. It has a fabulous cocktail menu; we tried a few different drinks. It has a great aesthetic. My favorite is the pink boots and mirrors. We had wings from the truck; yes, you could eat the food inside. The staff was great. You may know some of their faces! Great for a night out with a friend or a nightcap with your boo! Give them a try!!

    I enjoy everything about this place from the location , the service, the drinks , music and aesthetics. It's a great place to come in a group setting or on a date.

    Their take on a pina colada was much lighter and utterly delicious!

    Fabulously delicious cocktails in kind of a 90's vibe. There are garage doors to open the bar up to the parking lot, but it's summer so: thanks, but no. My drinks were SO delicious! It was a Saturday night but the place was pretty empty. The food truck out front served up some super tasty burgers too. Music was way too loud and kind of threw off the vibe.

    This is a really cool bar with a food truck that serves bar food. The drinks and food have an Asian influence. There's plenty of seating. It's a cool spot to meet friends after work. The staff was friendly. Drinks were delivered and tasted delicious. The food was ready faster than expected and really delicious. I suggest the fries (absolutely delicious) and spring rolls.

    Beautiful interior bar

    I've been very curious about visiting continental drift since going to the recent thunder cats concert. I didn't get the chance to go inside to try their drinks but I did try their desert wings and Jamaican jerk chicken wrap. I enjoyed both items. The wrap was very delicious with the combination of the Jamaican seasoning and pineapple salsa. Also the chicken was tender. The desert wings had a unique Cajun taste but it wasn't bad at all. The wings were juicy and not overly greasy. You can definitely tell that the seasonings used soaked into the meat. But that was just my mini experience. Sunday, I experienced continental drift in full effect. Exploring not only their regular menu but their newly created brunch menu. Mind you this place has been open a couple months now and I think it deserves more attention. The theme is Miami vice and they nailed it. Between the decor and music, everything was on point. I was blessed enough to try the food with my closest friends. For drinks, we ordered the Miami vice, the Caribbean pancake, and Salem spritz trial. For brunch food we ordered: churro bites, breakfast sandwich, and the greens and grits. For regular menu items, we ordered: charred okra and corn salad but substituted the okra for brussel sprouts (even as a person who doesn't like Brussel sprouts, these were amazing), the fried chicken sandwich, juicy burger, the classic buffalo and lemon pepper curry dk wings. With all that said, I can say everything we ordered was a hit. My personal favorite for brunch: everything. If you're in the mood for something safe I suggest the breakfast sandwich. But if you want something unique, I suggest the greens and grits. My personal favorite for the regular menu: everything. But especially the wings (both flavors) and the juicy burger which comes with an amazing smash sauce. Finally my favorite drink was the Miami vice. I could talk forever about my first full experience here with the caring staff. Overall, continental drift is a must visit establishment. Whether you are with your friends or alone, I highly recommend the Miami experience.

    Vice versa. So good!

    This bar was so pretty! My friend Kate and I came here this weekend. We were looking for a pretty place to take pictures and also get some pretty drinks. The staff here were all so polite and friendly! I ordered the Vice Versa. It was a frozen slushy blended and by far one of the tastiest and prettiest drink I've ever gotten! We also shared a Yellowhammer Fizz that was also pretty good. I hope this place is here to stay! They have lots of food options too so I will be sure to check those when I come back.

    first time visiting and it was honestly a vibe. there was only 1 bartender/server when i visited but he was really nice and attentive, and he also did an excellent job at explaining the concept of this establishment. i had the chance of visiting during the "arabian nights" and tried out 2 different cocktails. my personal favorite was the rebel without a pause. it was the right amount of spicy and reminded me of an amaretto sour. the decor, music and ambiance were really good as well! taking a star away because the kitchen was closed when i visited.

    See all

They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste
