About Retro's
Bottle service and a VIP booth sit at the centre of the room, which is more than most Orchid Avenue rooms bother with at this price point — the $$ band means a table here is within reach of a group splitting the cost rather than a special-occasion outlay. The music runs backwards and forwards at once: 80s and 90s hits and old-school floor-fillers alongside techno and trance, which keeps the floor moving for a crowd that skews 25 to 45 and leans local rather than purely visiting. Doors open at 9pm Friday and an hour earlier on Saturday, both running to 3am, and those are the only two nights it trades — the rest of the week it stays shut, year-round. Smart casual is enforced at the door, so leave the singlets and thongs at the hotel. Expect it busy from around midnight on both nights.
