Get ready to join the granddaddy of all local music venues, the Continental Club, where they have enjoyed a coast-to-coast reputation as the premiere club for live music in Austin. This historic live music destination opened its doors as a swanky private supper club, but in the decades since, it's become a mecca for roots, rockabilly, country, swing, rock, and blues music every night of the week. The classic neon sign flashing above the entrance is a landmark on South Congress, and vintage cars and hot rods often line South Congress Avenue in front of the dimly lit club.

Pinstack is a unique dining and entertainment destination where you can enjoy the one-of-a-kind venue, featuring a full-service restaurant offering a modern American menu, a full bar, and a private dining area. Take advantage of the state-of-the-art bowling lanes, with lane-side food and beverage service and a private VIP bowling area. In addition to dining and bowling, they have laser tag, a rock climbing wall, bumper cars, a high-ropes course suspended 20 feet above, and 100 of the newest video games and simulator technology.
