Back in the mid-aughts, when the Continental opened its doors on an isolated industrial strip with views of a train yard, foot traffic came from the only place around: the Superior Street band rehearsal warehouse down the block. Little has changed since. The bar, infamously dubbed “Mistakes” by the local hipsterati, still draws a rock ‘n’ roll crowd content to chug beers ’til the wee hours, and the jukebox still spins an eclectic mix of cult-classic rock.
