An eclectic lineup makes the Continental Club one of the city's best live music venues. The club's rich history draws the big guns of rock and alternative country in unannounced sets, so you might get lucky and catch the likes of Kris Kristofferson or Sheryl Crow. Because of its popularity, arrive early or prepare to wait. (from Southern Living)

SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE.   Opened as a supper club in 1957, Continental Club initially hosted country performers, but by the 1960s it was featuring burlesque acts. The owners switched gears again in the 1970s, turning to rockers like Johnny Thunders and Stevie Ray Vaughan; a wall of framed photos of past performers is impressive, to say the least. In more recent memory, they've welcomed folks like Southern Culture on the Skids and Lucinda Williams. Small, comfortable Continental has a full bar, along with a pool table in the back room.   (© 10Best)

Excellent local Austin country music, lively atmosphere, friendly place, great music! I always make that a stop, even if I'm only in Austin for one night.
