Be careful of the bartender with glasses he was angrily speaking to me, he may cause you to lose many customers. But max was wonderful his drinks were yummy.

Who doesn't like a cool speakeasy? Well, some might not but that's besides the point. I have been to a few speakeasies and I have to say that Retrograde is one of my favorites for a couple reasons.
First off, the drinks here are delicious with a good range of different kinds of drinks to appeal to all. I have had a few different ones here and they were all great and it was obvious the thought that went into each drink.
Secondly, the service I've had here was always top-notch. Each time I've been here, I never felt like I was being rushed when ordering a drink or if I had questions regarding drinks or trying to get a recommendation. I have always had great conversations with the bartenders and other employees there too. Last time I went, I had an hour long conversation about drinks and the best omakase in Denver.
Last but not least, I really like how Retrograde actually feels like a speakeasy. I feel like a lot of speakeasies I've been to call themselves a speakeasy but does not feel like one, if you know what I mean. Retrograde has the ambiance down with the quiet, dark, and moody atmosphere.
I can't wait to go back!

Retrograde was cool, nice open space, good lighting, the Dj’s were on point. We didn’t try the food but the service was good.

Delicious cocktails and such a delightful, fun, welcoming staff! We loved chatting with Joaquin and Ricky. Very unique N/A options for the sober folks. From my time speaking with Joaquin it's clear he cares a lot about his craft and puts great effort into his drinks. It creates a wonderful experience as a guest and gives me a lot of respect for this establishment as a fellow service industry worker. I'm an out-of-towner but will definitely recommend this place to folks back home and will return on future visits!

We appreciated the film and drink take, and the atmosphere. Kudos to stellar bartenders and the boomerang for Williams & Graham. Definitely planning to return and recommending to friends for when they choose visit!

awesome originality and quality, lady at the ice cream counter was impatient and had a bad attitude

We got two servers, the first one was the worst, he made annoyed faces when we were trying to understand the menu, and acted like he didn’t want to serve us. The second person was much nicer, but our experience was bad, I would not recommend this place. It is not worth the money they charge per drink and the poor service. Save your money and go to another place!

I just learned about this place yesterday and was told it's a speakeasy within a cute little ice cream shop. Thankfully I didn't wait very long on a Saturday at 10:00 p.m. and the drinks were quite diverse. I have to say that I have never heard of half of the things they put in all of their drinks but they were a little higher price than average. But you're definitely paying for a intimate atmosphere that would make for a great date. Keep the hype down and don't come here.
