Go here every few weeks and it's the best ice-cream in denver

Missy Coyne

Service was excellent, and the drinks were good. A bit on the sweet side for me. I think it would be great if they did custom cocktails! Fun little space.

Pretty good spot to chill! I like the hidden way to go in, drinks are fantastic! Mo is the best! Kind person! 👌🏻

Retrograde is hands down one of the coolest spots in town—and probably the only legit speakeasy around. Hidden behind what looks like a regular ice cream parlor, the entrance is as fun as the drinks. You’ll find a metal fridge door, flip the switch, and like magic, someone will come open the door and welcome you into a whole different vibe.

Once inside, it’s cozy, stylish, and full of character. The cocktails? Awesome. Thoughtfully crafted and super tasty. The staff is friendly and laid-back, and Mo, the bartender, really stood out—knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about what he does.

If you’re looking for a unique night out with great drinks and a bit of mystery, Retrograde is the place to be.

Super underground act like your taking your partner for ice cream and surprise them

James Voss

This place is terrible you wait in line for 40 minutes and then when you get inside, it takes 30 minutes to get a drink. Also Ricky has a terrible attitude as a bartender he should not be working here.

Bartenders were the nicest, engaging gentleman. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience! Thank you for making this a great experience on our weekend away

We went this past Saturday and it was a great time. The bar was pretty busy but the bartenders did a great job and the drinks were great. Will be coming back!

The young lady serving us was fabulous.

Recently changed the menu without any way to know since the website is down, seriously who wants a bunch of gross drinks with pepper in them

Speakeasy hidden within an ice cream shop, creatively named cocktails and artistic decor throughout.

It's a cozy, different-feeling space. It's very relaxing and lots to look at. I'm not much of a drinker, but the cocktails weren't memorable to me. It's something to try once if you want a really quiet night out, but I can't imagine coming back.

Max made me an old fashioned that was one to remember.
Bravo gentlemen.
