THE CONTINENTAL CLUB

A friendly, local bar, the Continental Club is also a good place to listen to music and dance. Founded in the 1950s in Austin, the bar then decided to open its doors in Houston. Go online to see the program when you visit, which can vary from Beatles night to country or Mexican music. Houston natives have been going there for a long time, so you can meet friendly people who, in good Houstonian fashion, won't hesitate to give you more recommendations.
