Reviews
A decent live music venue. Good old stages upstairs and downstairs for local entertainment and small bands. Ideal for young up and coming local bands. Few drinks on tap werent available, which is always sad. Otherwise decent range of beers, ciders etc on tap and bottled. Loved the fairy lights and large bay windows. When visiting, service was mid tier at best. Upstairs team were solid, and friendly. Downstairs less so. For example, when attending performance, barman disappeared for half an hour. A few people not us waited around and went upstairs to be served. He eventually returned with, friends, who i doubt paid for the event, all were laughing at the bar while everyone was rather silent listening to the artist perform. All on our table including those not in our group mentioned this. Other than this one outlier, had a rather enjoyable night. Would only return to see an act I enjoy and wouldn't just rock up here to see open mic nights etc.
Went to see Troy Redfern Band on a Tuesday night. Prices a little high for student area location but it is Manchester. Nearly £10 for a Guinness and a coke! Toilet area could do with a little refurb. Fantastic sound system though. That said, we enjoyed the band and night.Service: 3/5
A really fun and nice little location hidden just a short walk away from canal street. Really friendly staff, really well priced drinks. I absolutely would visit again if there was a good event on.Service: 5/5
Decent dive bar with live music. We went to see the Hawksmen for a tenner a ticket which was a bargain. Nice small intimate venue.Service: 4/5
I finally got to see a gig at Retro this week. This was my first visit and I was very impressed. Proper decent basement venue with a very intimate stage, and decent PA. It was in July however and the gig was sold out, so it was HOT and SWEATY down there. The bar staff were very helpful and there was a good selection on the bar and drinks offers available. We didn't spend much time in the actual bar upstairs, but it seemed nice and chilled with another well stocked bar. Can't believe it took me this long to visit. Will definitely be back.
Had such a great night! There was an amazing after party event going on which I was lucky to go to so got a chance to see some amazing Djs with some great music. The bar/club itself is lovely. Great atmosphere and very clean bathrooms always a win in my book. Drinks very reasonably priced and the bar staff were so so nice despite how busy it was. Would absolutely go back
Played here loads of times, great venue for lesser known bands. Staff are always friendly and vibes always positive.
Great live music venue, staff couldn't have been more helpful from manager to the young lad doing to door, great atmosphere, well done Mark and team at Retro Manchester.....Food: 4/5
Great small venue on multiple floors not wheelchair accessible. Only went to downstairs room, which had great acoustics Parking: Charles St parking garage is next door. Not 24 hours. Easy to park and pay. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. 5-6 steps to get in main door. About 12 steps to basement level
Watched Len Price 3. Small venue= great gigAtmosphere: 5/5
