Retros

Nothing beats strutting your stuff to all the golden oldie tunes. If you’re a lover of ABBA’s Dancing Queen or you know how to shake it to High School Music, Retros has your name all over it. The iconic club in Surfers Paradise launched onto the scene only just a few years ago, but quickly built a reputation for the epic tunes pumping out of its speakers every night. It’s the type of place that anyone can sing along to the beats, no matter your age, background or musical knowledge. 

On top of all the A+ tunes, you’ll also have some of the region’s best bartenders serving you up all the drinks of your choice. From house cocktails and discounted basics to a small but mighty selection of on-tap beers, you’ll never be caught with an empty cup in hand. And isn’t that what’s its all about?
