The Continental is probably best described as it described itself: “Live music, video, and dancing for the hard-core punk/New Wave/alternative crowd.” The Continental was an occasion bar like no other I can think of in Buffalo’s past. It was like a Halloween–or a Witches’ Ball–every Saturday night. The Continental was such a human/social happening that it was like going to an event of improv theater. People dressed, planned, and arranged limos for simply coming. I kid you not. They had pre- and post-Continental parties.
