Your guide to Philly's diverse creative scene, nightlife, music, food & more
Where do you go when you need to enjoy the right cocktail in the right environment? Where can you eat dinner in a non-traditional space (basket swings anyone?)? Want to meet new people? Do you want to see and be seen? Do you want all of these things under one roof?!
Decisions, decisions. Thank goodness we are here to help!
One of Center City’s funky crowned jewels is Continental Mid-town. Its playful décor and inviting dining rooms allow guests to enjoy an adult experience within a child-like environment, complete with abstract lighting fixtures, a disco-era sunken dining area and dessert items like Nutella icicles and cotton candy. The combination chic bar and hip dining destination offers guests a mature and colorful playground where they can escape all manner of reality…well, at least till 2 am.
The amazingly large plates (lobster mac n cheese, cheesesteak eggrolls, tofu tempura) and creative cocktails (Rittenhouse Rock and Rye, Mexico City Cosmo, Champagne-o-Rama) compliment each other perfectly, creating a seamless marriage between dining and nightlife. Owned and operated by nationally-recognized restaurateur Stephen Starr, Continental Mid-town caters to the stylish and trendy and offers a fresh and inviting environment to meet new people while experiencing Philly in a HIP way.
Don’t forget the rooftop deck with its green foliage, city views and cool vibe. In the summer, this is the place for a fun night out with friends and friends-to-be. Whether you’re interested in dinner, drinks or settling in for a long night of cocktails and music – Continental Mid-town has got you covered.
