by Alex F. on Abbey Tavern is another classic story of continuous struggle. In the early 2000's this place was packed in like sardines and looked similar to what you'd see in a coors light commercial. People were dancing, drinking and having fun. Lots of irish guys going crazy with their booze. It started going down the hill in late 2004 and hasn't been able to recover since. Every saturday you walk in, it's the same ol empty feel with not a whole lot going on. In essence it turned into another dive bar. Going forward, I will keep monitoring this situation because I still think it has massive potential but for now all bets are off.
by Caroline C. on On a summer evening the Continental's rooftop deck has some charm. You can smoke out there, that's for one. The baby trees smattered around the patio give the space a less concrete-boxed in feel (it is, in actuality, pretty boxed-in). I can't speak to the food, since none of it looked all that original or impressive. We each ordered a martini. I asked for mine with three olives and the waiter gave me the option of whether I wanted the lemon rind stuffed olives or the traditional. I asked for two lemon and one regular and he didn't blink twice. The lemon stuffed olives ended up being quite a nice mash up of flavors and textures. All three of us were rather disappointed by the plastic glasses in which our martinis were served. While it wasn't the most expensive drink I've ever bought, at $10 we expected the satisfying clink of glass on glass when we cheersed. Drink was decent, nice and dirty. This is not as 'special' a place as it sells itself, but isn't completely without its charms.
by Dixie Foronda on This place gets 1 star because I liked the ambience, especially the outdoor courtyard with fountain. But its hard to enjoy the scenery when the place is full of pretentious, stuck-up snobs and gold diggers. A girl literally got in an argument with the towel lady in the bathroom over soap! This is a place "to be seen", and I wan't even that impressed. Life is too short for this BS.
