We came here for a Wedding After Party. Everything was cool and it was a great choice for the night. Staff was great, place was cool, drinks were good - couldve done better at pool, but thats my fault. Would go again!

Thank you for the hospitality and fancy juice.Note to self: grapefruit, pineapple for froth, fresh lemon, fresh lime, and cran shaken on ice. Don’t ask why. Just put rum in it next time.

Rock bar straight out of a movie scene. Here you will find cheap beer shot combo in a darkly lit vintage setting steps away from an industrial area. Come for the beer stay beacuase its the only bar still open. Humboldts gem.

Great chill neighborhood bar until 2am, after that it gets packed with loud lonely drunks. Prices are reasonable, DJs never disappoint, and theres a pool table upstairs.

Straight up no frills rock and roll bar with a great painting above bar. Good friendly service to boot!

Review №11

I refuse to come here because the staff has had zero intervention on crazy behavior happening at this bar. Extremely drunk, abrasive and clearly high patrons hang here. The dive bars I like playing pool at would not continue to serve men who were pushing women around and falling off barstools. This place will.Cheers

So, come here on a Weds or Tuesday night. If you come on a Friday or Saturday, it’s gonna be a lot of 23 year old kids with Motörhead shirts complaining about how Chicago is changing. Add a line for the bathroom, or people doing lines, whatever your move is.On an off night, this place rules.

Review №13

Nice dive. Decent space for 5-6 people in the booths, space at bar. Was there from 1 am to 5 am Saturday night and didnt need to wait much to get drinks. DJ was good, bartenders we nice. Decent price on PBR tallboys. Tamale man came around.

Review №14

They charged 100 for tickets, the open bar was supposed to end at 11:30 it ended early, the bartender was really rude about it, I believe he said it was over at 10. We were supposed to get a champagne toast at midnight,, I saw people on one side of the bar being given their glasses so I asked the bartender she said they were giving them out across the room and pointed into the crowd, when I saw the other bartenders giving them out! They were working right behind her! I never found the mysterious people allegedly giving them out in the crowd, It was as ripoff happy 2020 NEVER returning

Review №16

This place is great for late night drinks. The bartenders are awesome and if you can get on the pool table, most of the players think theyre good.Hint hint - they suck

Review №17

If I know anything I know not to come back. Blonde bar tender told me it’s a $25 minimum and I have to use the atm with a $4 fee while visibly charging someone else $15. Terrible place. I wouldn’t recommend it. Find another late night bar. She shouldn’t be working

Review №18

Its a 4 AM bar, so its usually fairly empty until after hours. Then it gets packed with the usual hipster crowd. There isnt anything particularly special about the bar itself. Most people come knowing who is going to be here and when. Many a bad decision has happened for pretty much anyone who has been here.

If u r looking for diversity this is your place to be ,bi-level bar opened late ,age group mixed,fun conversations ,if u single hot guys everywhere and ready to mingle .No dress code, very fun bar tenders ..When u r all done the taco truck has great food right out front.

My fav bar ever. Great crowd

Review №21

I very much agree that bartenders are very bad. A bartenders tip is based on how kind they are to serve you and welcome you to their establishment. A bartender last night acted like I was lucky to receive a beer for something I could have purchased for one fifth of the price at Juels. If you dont like bartending, get a different job and make more money based on your education.

Review №23

Need an afterhours bar? Come to Continental. Very chill atmosphere, pleasant crowd. After 2am, however, I would suggest just heading to the 2nd floor as the first floor can get pretty packed. Also, if youre lucky, you might be able to catch the tamale vendor that just makes his way through the different bars at later hours.

Quintessential dive bar. Exactly what I wanted! Patrons & bartender welcoming 😊

I had a good time there. Its open late so when the other clubs nearby close the Continental gets crowded.

Review №29

A true late-night dive. Well, except for the decent beer lineup and local spirits available. Go here after a few too many and meet your Ms. Right or Prince Charming who may have had one too many Jamo shots or PBRs too. Only drawback, impossible to get a cab here out in no-mans land.

I like this bar. one time i got in a fight with the bouncer cuz i was skating out front and he came out angry cuz he was trying to read a book 📚 on his ipad and i told him to go to a library cuz i didnt know he was the bouncer. i stayed away for a few months after that but now i go back and i like playing pool 🏊🏾 here

Ti
Review №33

So its after the other bars close, and you dont need a drink... But want one anyways. The Contie is for you. And during the day, its got a surprisingly nice patio.

J
Review №34

Its slow until really late. I think its a late night location. Black shirts heavy metal atmosphere, its OK. Unless thats not your thing. Have to be in the right mood I guess.

Wi
Review №35

Great punk rock late night bar! Get in before 2am or it gets pretty elbow to elbow. Cheap drinks. And a patio out back.

Review №36

Classic Chicago dive bar. Open late, decent deals on drinks and all the best after hours people watching. Head upstairs for the pool table!

Went here with a group of folks from work. Its a dive bar for sure but they have pool table upstairs and some games so that was fun!

Really cool place, upstairs is rad, and they play good music. The only downside is there is a $25 minimum on cards

Review №41

What a brutal bar. It should be your last option. The staff is as bad as the clientele. Bad attitude and bad ink sums it up. The bouncer has a extra large chip on his shoulder...
