The Continental Bar - Review - Financial District - New York - The Infatuation
"John Wick fans, pay attention: The filming location for the exterior of The Continental Hotel in Fidi now has a giant sports bar inside it, called The Continental Bar. There are a ton of screens in here, and a bar food menu with things like burgers and wings.
We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
Cutest neighborhood bar ~ I’ve been here the past two nights for the Love Island watch parties and I’m obsessed. Athena and Joe are amazing — so sweet and make sure everyone’s taken care of. The food and cocktails are actually delicious (like I would come here just to eat). Such a fun spot to watch reality TV, sports.. And their happy hour?? 11am to 8pm. Unreal. Definitely my new go-to.

The best new bar in the financial district! Happy Hour from 11 am - 8 pm with crafted drinks and amazing bartenders and staff that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in! TV’s are big for the sports lovers but I’m here for the food, the spicy cucumber margarita and the fried pickles. And hello…famous John Wick movie photo op is a must when you first visit!!

This is the only place that I know in NYC that has happy hour Monday-Sunday and as late as 8pm! They have great food and drink options. Over 70 televisions. Such a fun atmosphere and the staff is so friendly and accommodating! Definitely a great spot to catch a game or grab food and drinks after work.

New place only open 2 months as of this review (5/25). Came in during the middle of the day on a Sunday to check it out since the movie series gives it notariety.
They are really new and the interior has not been decorated. The walls are bare and the place really looks like it is trying to figure out an identity. Other than drinks using movie references, thats where the connection ends. The place has a ton of big screen TV’s and really seems more like a sports bar so probably great for sports games.
Bar tender was friendly.
I’d come back in a few months to see if anything has changed but using the movie name is sort of a way to lure in fans and tourists but beyond seeing the outside facade of the building thats about as much as you’re going to get out of visiting here.
Would be nice if it was themed more actually like the movie or had anything for sale like shirts or souvenirs. Otherwise theres no reason to go out of the way to come here.

Laid back sports bar and good food and drinks. Ordered chicken wings was good but fish tacos were excellent. Athena was very friendly and helpful. Beer selections good and cold. Enjoyed our visit to John Wick's Continental

My new favorite sports bar! The TVs are MASSIVE! The food & drinks are GOOD and appreciated the friendly service. I also appreciated the diversity of the patrons who came inside, it’s very welcoming. Convenient location as well.

I’ve been here a couple of times already and it’s been awesome. The staff is super friendly and on top of everything. Between happy hour, delicious food, and tvs everywhere, it’s an excellent after work spot. Don’t forget to get your photo op at the entrance lol

When there during their opening weekend so to be fair they were still getting their bearings and are likely still workshopping a bunch of stuff and building up staff etc. With that said I think this place is solid, they have a ridiculous amount of tv's to watch sports which is nice and not a ton of places to do that in FiDi.
Beer wise their selection wasn't very deep yet but I imagine they will build it out. The food was acceptable but won't win any awards in my opinion! The wings were solid but the fries were my favorite of any bite I had.
Due to low staffing we did have to wait a bit for our order to get taken but again I imagine that will get better over time. Place is worth checking out I'd say if you're in the area!

Awesome.
Food is fire. Spicy Garlic Wings are next level
Service is dope and the vibe too
Also, for being smack in the middle of one of the most expensive rest in the city, the prices are great.
$10 glasses of wine and $8 beers. Really solid for the area.
Not trying to gatekeep, but I kinda hope this spot stays locals only for a while. Will def be back

We went however, we did not stay. Drinks are a bit overpriced in our opinions. My coworker wanted to go inside because of the John Wick movie therefore, we did that for him.
