The Contintental Club

Step Back in Time Before the Show

Just steps from the heart of downtown Los Angeles, The Continental Club delivers a moody, speakeasy-style atmosphere with a vintage twist. Nestled on 4th Street, this underground lounge is known for its plush leather seating, low lighting, and a classic jukebox vibe that feels like a time capsule in all the best ways. Whether you're starting your night or looking for a post-show nightcap, this bar/lounge and bottle service spot offers a stylish refuge with serious character.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its location is unbeatable—just a short walk from several major music venues in downtown LA, making it an ideal stop before or after a show. While it doesn’t offer a full dinner menu, its craft cocktail selection is top-notch, and the bartenders are known for their quick, attentive service, so you won’t be late for your headliner. The low-key ambiance is perfect for amping up or winding down, and the music inside often echoes the city's live music spirit.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish pre-show hangout
• Solo travelers soaking in the LA music scene
• Couples enjoying a romantic night out with retro flair
• Fans wanting a lively pre-show space with great drinks
• Budget-conscious music fans seeking a cool vibe without a cover charge

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the club’s authentic vintage decor, craft cocktails, and welcoming staff. Many mention it as a hidden gem where you can relax and enjoy quality drinks without the overcrowding common in downtown bars. The music selection and jukebox are frequent highlights, adding to its nostalgic charm.

Areas for Improvement

While the vibe is incredible, The Continental Club is more about drinks than dining—so if you're looking for a full meal before the show, you might want to eat elsewhere first. Seating can be limited during peak hours, so arrive early if you're with a group. And yes, the moody lighting is part of the appeal, but it can make reading the drink menu a bit tricky!

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert and want a stylish, vibey spot for drinks and music, The Continental Club is a downtown LA favorite that hits all the right notes.
