About Retrograde

Retrograde is a unique speakeasy-style bar with an outer space/alien-themed ambiance. The establishment offers a creative cocktail menu, including signature drinks and the option to customize your own creation. The intimate space provides a premium, bespoke cocktail experience in a whimsical setting, with drinks starting at $17. The skilled bartenders and lively atmosphere contribute to an enjoyable craft cocktail experience, making it a popular destination for those seeking a unique night out. The cozy and stylish interior, full of character, creates a relaxing atmosphere.

The bar features a hidden entrance behind an ice cream shop, adding to the speakeasy vibe. Customers can enjoy a variety of specialty cocktails inspired by classic films from the 1950s and 1960s, such as the "Massacre in Dinosaur Valley," a rum-based drink served in a ceramic punch bowl with a mini flaming volcano. The bar also rotates its menu seasonally to match the space's decor and the movies playing on the walls, creating a unique and immersive experience for guests.

The friendly and knowledgeable staff, including the bartenders, have been praised for their excellent service, and the overall vibe of the establishment has been described as on-point, making it a great choice for a special occasion or a quiet night out.
