The Continental Club

The Continental Club is a staple of South Congress Avenue and is without a doubt one of the best live music clubs in Austin. This live music venue was opened as a private supper club the 1950s and it underwent many changes throughout the years (in the '60s, it became a burlesque club!). In the 1980s, a new owner restored it to its original 1950s look. The club features acts from many Austin artists. The Continental Club is best known for rockabilly, country, swing and retro roots music, though it offers a little bit of everything.
