A Complete Guide to Austin Restaurants Featured in Movies and TV - Eater Austin

"The legendary Continental Club on South Congress opened its doors in 1955 and has evolved from a swanky supper club to Austin’s first burlesque club to a blue-collar bar, and most recently to a premier live music venue. Its history is cemented in two Linklater films: Slacker and Boyhood. 1990 indie Slacker chronicles a day in the life of young Austinites as they wander around the city discussing topics from government control of the media to social class and homelessness. One scene features a group discussing what it means to be an artist in front of the famous club. In the sprawling epic Boyhood, two of the young main characters are discussing their plans for college in front of the club’s doors which brings both films full-circle since Austin is both a college town and town known for its live music. The venue plans on reopening for on-site services on May 28." - Marisa Mirabal
