About this place

Skip Sixth Street's rowdiest block and head for the Continental Club on South Congress — sticky floors, sixty years of history, bands most nights — or the patios of Rainey Street. Check the free listings in the Austin Chronicle; the best show of the week is often five dollars and unadvertised.
