From the people who brought you Rocket Bar, Bedrock, Atomic, Buffalo Billiards, CarPool, and Aroma... Continental features interior design elements inspired by nightclubs from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Several lounge areas with various themes include a Space-Age Bar, a Jet-Set Dining Room, the Op Art Billiards Room, and the Exotica Bar & Lounges. Award winning interior designer Travis Smith and his partner Skip Przywara of Good Eye 20th Century Interiors were inspired by the colors and architecture of vintage clubs in Miami, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The lounge is filled with vintage furnishings that have been restored and reupholstered to create a retro fantasy world, which pays homage to the 1964 World's Fair, Barbarella, and Disneyland's Tiki Room. Most of the lighting is provided by a collection of over 80 vintage spun plastic lamps that has been assembled over the last year. The interior also features amazing new wallpaper designs from Karim Rashid and Laurinda Spear, plus custom artwork and murals by local artists Kayti Didriksen and Stacey Matarrese. Continental offers two full bars, six pool tables, darts, four shuffleboard tables, two skeeball games and ping pong. Continental's lounge areas are the perfect spot to relax with friends and may be reserved for private functions. Continental is an experience unlike any other in Washington. Get ready for glamour, excitement and intrigue! |
