About
We are now open every Friday and Saturday and Thursday by demand! Located on Brunswick Street Mall in Fortitude Valley, Retro’s, as the name suggests, is all about bringing back the good times by playing nothing but the best ol’ skool hits from the 80s, 90s and noughties! The iconic venue features signature Fish Bowl Cocktails, quirky led light quotes, disco mirror balls and a huge illuminated dance floor to give guests a nostalgic nightclub experience in the heart of Surfers Paradise like no other! The cocktail menu oozes loads of retro flavour as well, featuring all your ol’ skool favourites from Pina Coladas, mojitos and margaritas to espresso martinis and long island iced teas. Premium Bottle service with Grey Goose Vodka and VIP booths is available so you can truly party like a 90s rockstar! So, without further ado, round up your mates, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to enjoy a fish bowl and bust a move until the sun comes up!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not sure what their business model is. Be racist dont care, but all I wanted to do was spend money. Being racist in a quiet night for no rime or reason has costed the establishment. I cannot even fathom what the bouncer “Ben” was thinking. The other members of staff played a callous attitude and did not interfere in the wrong doing. You have lost not only my business but I am going to ensure no friend, colleague or acquaintance even steps foot in your establishment till “Ben” is sacked for racism. Welcome to Queensland everyone! When will you realise that racism has an economic cost.

Racist, discriminatory staff. Wasn't allowed in because I was wearing red sneakers, which meant I was part of a gang. AVOID AT ALL COST IF YOU ARE POC

Just received marketing email from Retros and the only way they would have got my email address is from Covid check in using QR code.

Not a good practice to be using peoples private details like that.

Great music, awesome atmosphere and fantastic staff. Definitely one of the best, if not, the best club in Brisbane.

Being a bit old school I have to admit I wasn't to sure about going somewhere called Retro's with big fluro lights out the front. But I gotta say I had a blast, a real mixed demographic who all seemed to be there for the same reason, great music and a dance. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back if we are in the city again.

Went in for holloween, what a vibe!! Will definitely be back. Definitely one of the better places in the valley, and hands down the best old school-vibes.
