Established in 2013 and open February 2014, The Continental Club is a concept by Ashley Joyce with design by partners Ashley Joyce and John Lasker. The Continental Club aims to cater to the vibrant and diverse downtown LA community. The design is based on a traditional London members’ club contrasted with modern, anti-establishment accents.
Though officially a single street address, The Continental Club hosts two distinct settings. Sunday through Thursday guests enter from 4th Street to the J. Parkinson Room at The Continental Club. This intimate space is named after John Parkinson, the architect responsible for many iconic downtown landmarks including City Hall, The Coliseum, Union Station and The Continental Building. The emphasis is classic cocktails and conversation.
On Fridays and Saturdays, guests are greeted by a doorman in the alley, led down a stairway and through a wood-paneled hallway to enter The Continental Club. This expanded space includes semi-private seating areas surrounding a central bar and small dance floor. Unique table service includes pitchers, punch bowls and martini sets. The attention to detail and exceptional service is reminiscent of Las Vegas, London and Havana clubs of the 1950s and 1960s.
The Continental Club is part of Circa93.
