About Retro’s Surfers Paradise
Retro's is a nostalgia-themed nightclub on Orchid Avenue in Surfers Paradise, a sibling of a Brisbane club of the same name. The fit-out leans on bright LED lighting, mirror balls and cassette-and-boombox decor, and the bar is known for fishbowl-style cocktails.
The music policy is 1980s, 1990s and 2000s hits, played by DJs from an illuminated booth. VIP booths with bottle service are available. A ticketed over-30s daytime clubbing event with 80s and 90s dance music is listed for late 2026, which indicates the venue is still operating.
