Tina's Continental

Tina's Continental, located in the historic Continental Gin Building at 3309 Elm St in Deep Ellum, was an intimate 43-seat martini and cocktail bar housed in an 800-square-foot space celebrating mid-century design aesthetics. The bar drew inspiration from the 1977 Lincoln Continental Bill Blass Edition, featuring pale yellow booths, dark denim-blue walls, and curated photographs of designer-branded luxury vehicles. The menu focused on martinis with six signature variations and a build-your-own option, alongside batched cocktails served frozen at 15 degrees, including classics like the Vesper Martini, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Negroni, plus house specialties such as the espresso martini and Moody Bleu. The venue operated for just under two years before closing in January 2025, having established itself as a distinctive destination for cocktail enthusiasts seeking classic preparation in a distinctive retro-contemporary setting.
