The Retro Hotel, Sydney, Australia - Review
Situated in what can only be described as no mans land between Kings Street Wharf and George Street lives a venue that will take you back in time
. That venue is The Retro and has been the destination of choice for 70s and 80s music enthusiasts since forever (well at least the 70s or 80s). The Bristol Arms Hotel (or simply the Retro) is frequented by Sydneys 30+ crowd looking for a great night out.With about 5 floors to choose from (this is an approximation and Ill explain why in a second), the Retro has something for everyone, whether it be the live music venue with authentic sticky carpet, the rooftop terrace, the pool tables or the regular fancy dress nights, the Retro has something for everyone.
As with many refitted pubs, the Retro requires you to leave your pretentiousness at the door... youve been warned. As you would expect from a venue with 7 bars, the Retro is a place you go to if you want to have a drink.
Although the Retro runs regular events and specials throughout the week, mainly for the overworked office staff that surround the Retro, the place comes to life Friday and Saturday. With rooms such as Old Skool and Party Central it is no wonder this is one of the most popular clubs in Sydney that continues to thrive with a dedicated group of loyal patrons.
Another thing that might interest you if you are heading to the Retro is the plethora of Hens Nights held here. (Id say every time Ive been here Ive been witness to the crazy antics of women celebrating the soon to be marriage of one of their group). Needless to say, this is fantastic side entertainment to what is inevitably an interesting night out, as all nights are when they centre on the Retro Hotel.
Lastly, a little bit of advice from a seasoned professional. If you do decide to call it a night at 3am, and are struggling to find a taxi, all you do is walk down Sussex street to the Slip Inn as this is one of the few places you will be able to get a taxi at 3am in the morning.
