Where else can you get a dirty martini and wasabi mashed potatoes in less than 5 minutes? And a hot waitress in a mini-skirt.

The drinks at Continental Mid-Town are not just tasty, but they're no more expensive than the other high-quality bars in the area. And if you don't want a fruity or sweet cocktail, they have a huge bar selection and tons of drinks you can definately taste the booze in. The servers at Mid-Town are sexy, accomodating, and know their stuff. I've had nothing but great experiences there and the one time i was sat at a table that I didn't like the location of, I asked to move and they took care of me immediately. All you Mid-Town bashers are just trying to be cool because hating Steven Starr is cool, but get over yourselves and stop wishing you were Craig Lebon. If you want a hip, sexy, tasty night, go to Continental Mid-Town, if you're too busy counting the pennies in your pocket and just trying to get trashed, go somewhere else.

just because the midtown staff is good looking and probably popular in high school doesn't mean they give bad service. midtown isn't trendy because it's trendy, it's trendy because it's good. the service is awesome and the food is amazing, not to mention the atmosphere. so it's a tad more expensive than "your local dive bar"... you know you're getting what you pay for. so lay off midtown... it's an awesome spot.

Just read this other review and comments, and... Damn Jaye, did they offend? Stephen Starr just called and he's giving you a gift certificate for being suck-hole of the quarter, wipe your nose much? Good move showing off your knowledge of Philly geography. Everybody knows the Midtown is not "literally" next door, I suppose, but the comment was for effect. It's also not quite a half-block, if you count the side entrance to Junkinental on 18th Street, but who's being that precise? I'm sure if you read enough reviews, you'd see some positive comments, but dang if you don't feel insulted for Mr. Starr. Guess what? He doesn't care about you, just your money. Don't take it so personal.

The other commentator was really funny. Even though he agreed with "Jaye", he posted as anonymous, imagine that? He seems to think Berkserker and Mr. Box wanted to pick up the hoestesses. Best of all, smarty pants couldn't spell, including "thatn", "iF", "apprecite", and apostrophizing "martinis". Guess what smart diners, you don't apostrophize plurals, ever. Not even if you go to a Starr restaurant.

I wish I did know who that "anon" was. I'd like to make sure I never have him or his company do any work for me, seeing how careful he was to check his language before posting.

Boo hoo everybody. Why is it only the naysayers write into these stupid sites. Talk about obnoxious! You people are the worst. And why don't you use your real name, anon! BTW, the Midtown Diner is not next door but 1/2 block south on 18th. Dummy

They put me and my girlfriend in those brown plastic chairs next to the bar and my ass hurt. Then I saw my bill and my ass REALLY hurt.

For better diner food and comparable bar selection at half the price, try the Mid-town Diner next door.

Mediocre and over-crowded with people of that ilk. Nothing special.

Sub-standard all the way around. No secure coutroom, obnoxious service, no where to stand where you aren't in everyone's way, paper napkins? are you serious?, how much fun is waiting around for two hours so you can sit down to dinner with some drunk's ass in your face while you choke down the crappiest sushi you've ever had. The only reason anyone goes is because so many other people go. Nothing they serve is worth what you have to go through to get it.

you people just bitch about continental midtown because your attempts to pick up the_________ (hostess, server, bartender) were unsuccessful and you had to dish out more thatn $3 bucks for a beer. it's a place to have fun and sample a great list of martini's and food. iF you're looking to get trashed and laid for cheap try tiki bob's and leave the hard working staff at continental to wait on people who will actually apprecite their efforts.

FYI.....I was with Berkserker and Mr.Box at the Continental Midtown and every word he wrote is true.

BTW.. I had 2 appletini's and some other concoction and my local dive bar could have done a better job with the drinks, atleast they would have contained alcohol and charged 1/2 the price.
