What People Are Saying About Continental Club

In Short
High ceilings at the Houston location ensure the music is always loud, but there's also a back bar for a little less volume. About one-third bigger than its older sister, Houston's Continental lacks the latter's intimate charm. The music has a tendency to be distorted in the cavernous space, and it's hard to chat with friends, but eager-to-serve waitresses can always be found to take your order.

Apparently there are off-duty HPD officers hanging out at Continental Club now. I was accused of making a "deal" while watching a band Ive followed for years, played at my friends wedding, seen in their hometown, seen on the East coast, etc. As a friend handed me my kids, a "rookie" HPD officer, must been off duty, confronted my buddy about making a "purchase". At first this was just hilarious, yeah we made a deal while dancing to our band in the middle of the floor. (Wow.) Instead of trying to prove we had anything on us, he forced us to leave and told management. We had to walk home, our rides were still inside enjoying the show I spent cover to see. To management, this is lame. Not sure you're aware of this, but what a "sobering" experience for two of your loyal patrons. Way to go Rook, you've got a lot to learn. I think maybe next time HPD Union hounds me at my business for a donation, Ill have to pass, after 10 years.

I never really take the time write reviews but I feel that I have to vent and let Houston know what a horrible experience this was...... Went to this bar for the first time to see a mutal friends band perform. I was pretty exctied to try something new but the experience was horrible. Our first encounter was the door guy, he was so rude he yelled at my friends for not know we had to pay him first and then threw her license at her. Once we were inside, the crowd was very lively which was nice. We tried to get drinks at the first bar but it was next to impossible so, we went to the back bar. I tried to open a tab but if you show you are paying with a credit card forget it... they won't serve you! Oh and don't worry they will even let you know that! For a second I thought maybe we were just being singled out, but when I went back for a second round there were 3 other people at bar waiting with their credit cards in hand, pretty confused as to why they hadn't been served yet. Needless to say, the owner needs to hire a complete new staff because this was the worst experience I have EVER encounter at ANY bar. Do not go there.... you don't need to pay to have someone be extremely rude to you!!!!
