It took well over three years and a little over $500,000 to do it, but the two owners behind Fullerton's ultra-trendy coffeehouse, The Hub, have finally opened their swank, new hipster hangout. The Continental Room, a mere quarter mile west of their coffee shop, has Naugahyde booths with a button you can press to set off a light to summon the nearest stewardess. With wrought iron in almost every corner of the restaurant, hand-crafted banisters, glittery ceilings and just a touch of cheesy French design, this lavishly decorated venue is easily one of the hippest retro lounges in Orange County (only The Fling and Detroit Bar are nicer). But don't expect the usual trappings like pool tables, dance floors, or video games at The Continental --this place (like all proper lounges) is strictly a place to be seen sipping martinis while feeding quarters to the impressive jukebox. If you're lucky, a DJ might be there to spin low-key tunes or you might see a small, lounge band tinkering with their instruments in the background. Of course, don't let all this insider stuff put you off -- people from North Orange County (especially Fullerton) have always been known for their down-to-earth friendliness.
