Editorial Review for Continental – by Kerry Burke

In Short
During the day, Continental is difficult to distinguish from the surrounding St. Marks piercing parlors. At night, the 200-capacity black storefront dive rocks the block. Expect to hear punk, power-pop, thrash, hard core and indie-rock from bands on the local circuit, with occasional surprise appearances from punk legends. Once the music starts, conversation is out of the question. The crowd includes NYU students, tourists, friends of the band and itinerant rock musicians between gigs.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I went to Continental for the first time last night with a friend, and I have to say that I was in disbelief that a place could exist in this city with $3 drinks. Since I usually tend to frequent trendyish places with high cover and even higher drink prices, I was thrilled to find a cool, laid-back place that didn't try to eat my wallet before I left. It reminded me of college, and that made me extremely happy. Sorry, I didn't go there for the music- although I've heard that's great, too. I knew this place was amazing when I asked the bartender what her favorite shot was, and she replied "Shots? I just drink straight whiskey!!" My friend with me (a guy) fell in love...and although I'm a chick, I thought that was WAY hawt too. CONTINENTAL IS GOOD- GO THERE!!

Pros: Cheap drinks, big bar, flat screet tv, comfy booths

Come check out local bands here trying to make it. The place has pic's of famous punk rockers that made it...just as iggy pop and others. This is a total punk place but you'll get some granola people in here and some pencil necks watching their buddies put on a show. Since people only stay for what they want, the crowd is in and out all nite long. You'll pay to get in...7-10 bucks. Some bands it's worth it while others you want to throw a bottle at them. It happens.
