    Stage & drinks
    Olivia K.

    I love live music and have had a great experience at the Continental Club located on South Congress in Austin, so when I learned there was also one in Houston I was excited to try it out! Unfortunately the experience in Houston was not what I had hoped. The drinks were good, basic. The service was mediocre since there were only 2 bartenders for the entire packed show. The sound system was not good. We didn't enjoy either of the bands who played and ended up leaving early. This may have simply been bad luck on our part since we picked a random Friday night to go. Maybe they have better music other nights.

    WTF HOUSTON! This place has some really good music running through it! Been here a couple times now and each time it's really nice! Not packed each time too, and I'm a bit shocked! I'm thinking this'll be a hangout! Good music and decent atmosphere makes for a good time! Come out Houston people!

    I've been here a couple of times to see various musicians and it's an okay environment, but the building just wasn't designed for live music. It sucks acoustically, no other way around it. The main room is very loud and guests will come and go, if they're not dancing in front of the stage, since there is limited seating. The back room has 2 pool tables and shuffleboard, although they board them up so customers can't play on them during performances. A vendor is usually set up selling bbq back there. Along the back wall of the back room is the hallway to the restrooms and back patio. As far as entry, they set up outside on the sidewalk and either charge a cover sometimes, or ask for a small donation to see the band/performer. However, the venue has 2 entrances, so if you were to enter from Shoeshine Charlies' bar next door, and proceed to the back hallway and keep walking it would lead to the rear of CC, thus bypassing the doorman. On nice evenings, most people seem to gravitate toward the back patio, The Pachinko Bar, which sort of has a tropical theme going on with a palm tree and a small open air bar building.

    Great music, but be prepared for a door man who's an asshole. The rest of the staff is fine.

    Ask the Community - The Continental Club

    Does this place have Latino music on Thursday's?

    thursday is beetle, beatles tribute band. 7 to 10. after they may have a latin act. you'd need to check their show calendar.

    How early do you have to be to get seats? We are coming tonight for Dale Watson, but my parents will most definitely need a seat... me too 😁

    if you need a seat for a medical reason they'll help you out. call them a day or so before you come.

    Can you purchase tickets at the door?

    yes

    So if you want to go to a concert, The Beetle in this case, do you have to have someone over the age of 18, because I am aware they let minors in, but just clarification?

    parents, relatives.
