Even on a busy day, there are plenty of tables to choose from. They also have a well ventilated indoor area. In terms of menu variety, the kitchen serves up a good mix of high-quality bar food along with a few unexpected additions such as the Ribeye Gyro which was honestly phenomenal. Drink-wise, there is a large selection of beers to choose from as well as a few non-beer options such as cider. The bar is also well-equipped for some cocktails. Overall, I'd be here all the time if it were more conveniently located. The staff are all very welcoming / friendly and it's a great space to hang with friends, have some drinks, enjoy (unexpectedly amazing) food, and play some games.

Great spot to watch World Cup games if you've been looking around for options!…read more The space is fairly massive with plenty of screens, so even for popular games you'll likely be able to find a space to perch. I was concerned that for a highly anticipated match it might just be standing room only. But even with a 9pm start and a 9:30pm arrival, my friend and I both were able to find some seats. The bartenders were attentive while appearing to be laid back and kind. Even the food people ordered looked pretty good as well! If there is a good game on with highs and lows, the energy of the crowd really matches the energy of the game. Since there is so much space, those celebratory moments just feel joyful instead of overwhelming. Overall, nice lil vibe and I wouldn't hesitate to return!

I see a lot of other positive reviews specifically saying this is a good bar to watch FIFA World…read moreCup games. I would not recommend this bar for the World Cup. Today for the Norway / England quarter finals game the line was wrapped around the building over an hour before the game. We were in line at 3:45pm. It said on their flyer they would begin letting people in to watch the game at 4pm (game started at 5pm). I've been to Franklin hall before I know how big it is and it's even bigger if they open up the second space. I didn't think we would have any problem getting in. 4:45pm comes around and we start hearing from other people that they're at capacity. My husband went up and they were giving very unclear answers. Apparently they had a party for the embassy of Norway, I'm not sure how much space that was taking. I think they could've announced to the long line that had been waiting over an hour that they were at capacity. It ended up being a rush to find alternative bars to watch the game. Totally understand it gets busy, but wish there was better communication to the fans outdoors.

Fun spot to meet some friends, grab a drink, and play some board games!…read more We stopped in here on a weekend afternoon and had a great time. Walk in, sit wherever you can grab a seat, order a drink from the bar, and select a board game to play. (There's a charge for games after a certain time. But it's minimal.) The bartender was a little overwhelmed (it was crowded), but was friendly and attentive. I had a strawberry lemonade cocktail that was delicious (and strong). And we tried out a few different games and even found one we liked so much we later found it online and purchased it. Definitely a place we'll be heading back to.

It's $250 for up to 6 people and comes with a party platter that had butternut squash wontons, pork belly sliders, fried chicken nuggets, and chicken wings. It ended up being only four of us so the amount of food was perfect! They also had buckets at the tables with other snacks and hand sanitizer which we loved. The cocktails were INCREDIBLE. Each cold pressed juice had a different spirit in it; our favorite was the green juice with the whiskey. I also love that they use good quality spirits because I'm not hungover today! The service was unbelievable, they truly made it such a special experience for us and we can't wait to come back. The tent was warm which we were thankful for given it's getting chillier out.

Certainly not the kind of place…read moreyou'd instinctively think of to host an event for a bunch of teenagers, but we saw something about it on a message board and checked it out and my son fell in love with the place. Katie truly dedicated herself to giving us a wonderful experience, and it was amazing to see the space transform into a wonderful event space. Our biggest challenge with planning our son's Bar Mitzvah is that we knew he and his friends weren't exactly big on dancing - the games they offer at Continental, however, made for a truly wonderful evening regardless. The kids were able to play pool, ping pong, skeeball, shuffleboard, connect four - and they had a blast. A separate kids bar with the option of themed mocktails was also an incredible touch. And the food, oh the food - I can't speak highly enough about the food. Yes, it's largely bar food, but for teenagers (and teenage boys in particular) that's perfect. The food was delicious and very popular. And I have to say - the price, compared to what I know some of our peers paid, was quite good. The advantage of having your venue also be your caterer. If I had one slight criticism is was that they were maybe about one person too short-staffed for the evening, and that prevented the kids' bar from being fully staffed at all times, but honestly this is only a small criticism. My son and his friends had an incredible time and he's going to remember the night for the rest of his life - and Continental is a big part of why it turned out so well.

The music, the energy, the vibe of the space.... Maybe the World Cup was contributing, but I…read moreabsolutely loved it here. I see my friends talk about this place all the time and they we're making me feel like I'm the only one who has never gone. Well I can finally scratch it off my list! My friends and I only got one round, but it was a great time. They check IDs at the entrance, and then you are in a consent wherever you want. You could hang out in the outdoor space or you can go to the covered area that has long benches like a typical biergarten. Hop in line to place your order -- one person takes care of your drink, and another person rings you up at the register nearby. The line was getting long but it was moving quite efficiently. I'm not much of a beer drinker, so I just got a cocktail (elderflower G&T) and it was great. The place got really full, but I enjoyed myself. It's smaller than some other biergartens I have been to in the city, but there's something about the vibe of this one that I like over the others. I'll have to come back on another occasion!

Went to Wunder Garten (WG) for a special event on a Saturday afternoon in April…read more They had a great mix of people--local, international, straight, gay, young, and some older folks. At late 50s, we were certainly at the top of the age spectrum; but we felt welcome. We had drinks and planned to have food, but gave up after the event and went to an indoor restaurant the next block up. The first thing you need to realize with this space is that it is an outdoor venue. Not a reason to lower the rating yet--just know what you're getting into. Yes, the Quonset hut is technically a permanent structure; and the cabanas are under cover. However, the hut is less than half the floor space; and the cabanas are all open-front. So dress appropriately. You will probably be shielded from the wind, but forget about climate control if it gets busy. So where did WG lose stars? Let's start with the bar. I asked for a Manhattan made with Woodford Reserve. What I got was a 2 oz pour of Woodford, neat. This was not a 'tall order'. If your bartenders can't mix a drink with literally two ingredients (...plus bitters, so maybe three), then you're just in the wrong business--minus one star. Also, they ran out of one of the beers on their menu. You're a beer garden. You had better have all the beers on your menu or some way to adjust your beer list throughout the day. The other star evaporated when we realized that there was nowhere to eat the food if we had bought some from their food trucks (...clever idea, by the way, replacing a fixed kitchen with food trucks docked to the venue). All the free seating--yes, you have to pay extra for the cabanas--are actual picnic tables. Unless you get there early or pay extra, you will have to stand (...in the weather) ...while you eat. Bottom line: ~$53 for a large mug (1L) of hard cider and a pour of whiskey, consumed standing up in 85 degree F weather. Versus next block: Two margaritas, one soda, one appetizer, two (amazing!) entrees, and one desert brought to us by a lovely waiter and consumed at a clean table while sitting on comfortable chairs in a 72 degree F environment for $122. We may come back to WG for a future event, but that will depend on the weather and our appetite for a standing-room-only experience. As for bringing friends? Nah--we'll just find a picnic table at a local park and skip the premium prices.

The back patio is seriously cute and a perfect spot to unwind. Service was friendly, quick and attentive, which made the whole experience feel effortless. We came for happy hour and left seriously impressed -- ok prices for happy hour, solid options, and the food quality and presentation was high class. We got the happy hour - white queso. Absolutely decadent. Fired chopped onions, cumin -- it's deeply savory and completely addicting. We could have ordered three of them. We got the happy hour shoestring fries also-- crispy, tasty, and a generous portions. If you don't get there by 5pm make a reservation. We will be back for dinner sometime. Also you can order a shot of tequila, mezcal, vodka or whiskey with your glass of wine.

Food/drinks: Their loaded fries were delish. The avocado toast on GF had a special kick to it. Everyone (including my kiddo) was happy with their meal. And so many cocktails I wanted to try! Service: Their model is order on the app, someone brings the food, which has pros and cons. Wish someone would have oriented us to the menu first but they were helpful when we flagged them down. Also part of our order didn't come out but they made it right. Ambiance: It was giving outdoor casa in So Cal (or something like that). Gorgeous patio situation on a beautiful day. Did I mention Bravo bingo? Sadly it's for the real die hards (my years of watching did nothing to help me) but what a fun vibe. Would love to go back with the fam or with some girlfriends! No reservations so get there early!
