Reviews of Retroclubnyc (Night Club)

Sonia Kozlowsky

Don’t care what ppl has to say about this place! Too small not a big deal blah blah. You go for the music and the vibe. Had a blast in the fall and I’m going again this summer! About time there’s a RETRO place to enjoy the blast! Thank you who ever came up with this place. Love it!

The photos are are a scam. 100%. Let the club owner respond please!! The place is a dump. A left over Steak &Ale and nothing , nothing done to it. Rip off. One star is one two many. If you do go, ask to go upstairs before tho burn $10.

FYI: the club now has a $10 per person cover charge after 9pm. A cover charge. For a dance bar. On 23rd street. We reluctantly paid and went in, it's not as busy as it used to be. A beer and a non-called cranberry-vodka was $22 before tip. If anyone needs a lesson on how to ruin what used to be a good club, follow this example. Music was great but now the place is ridiculously over priced. Let's see if it exists in a year...bets, anyone? What a buzz kill.

Sharleen Morris

Definitely not a black experience. DJ completely ignored my "Before I let go" request. Really!

Joseph Saccomanno

I came for a birthday party thinking this was the old retro disco. Well was a disappointment it has been. People walked out of the place since the music is horrible. The DJ is stuck with Saturday night fever and only same disco songs are played. I have heard Saturday night just about 3 times. This should be called disco re-run. There is no retro music in this place it really sucked. Which nightclub has an empty dance floor at 1am?

Pricila Ibern

Love to go with a group of friends...Is there a cover?

Bryan Glover

It was okay. Good bartenders and drink prices. Dance floor was too small. Nothing special.

Rose Dionicio

Fun atmosphere with great music. The drinks were very well prepared, we tried the gin fizz and long island iced tea. Heads up there are not many food options, but what they do have is delicious. Id recommend, the Retro Platter.

Veronica Gonzalez

I had great time! I will back again!

Love this place!! Great music and atmosphere. Have been coming to Retro since it opened its doors at its previous location and never let's me down. If your looking for a great spot to listen to the best music from back in the days and dance the night away with a great crowd then this is the spot for you. Special Thanks to DJ Jeff you never let me down always playing the best tunes from back in the days.

Michael Aaron

This place is awesome!! Great music, drinks, and food. Definitely recommend checking it out!!!

Suneetha Gummalla

Horrible and it’s too loud unbearable sound

Rob Del

Such a great vibe, it's really class place, and judging by the crowds the 3 time I went, it's a melting pot that everyone likes. Good music brings people together, and good drink don't hurt the cause! Door guy was cool, bartenders were solid, but the music 80's music it was makes everyone feel good.

Me and my wife always have an amazing time and the music will definitely bring you back.

hamani kamel

Simple and calm

Jake Comito

FUN. Retroclubnyc had an AMAZING DJ who effortlessly mixed old singalongs with today’s hits. The disco balls, lights and dance floor were perfect, and the bar was close enough to dart back onto the dance floor when Bruno Mars came on. The crowd was a bit older, but my party (~25 24 year olds) blended in.

LaRue Stanley

Stopped by last Saturday night. We were really looking forward to this club, but one step in the door and I felt like I had stepped into a sonic blast and had gone deaf in an instant. Same with my friend. It was so loud we literally could not take 2 steps in. We we so disappointed. Does everyone have hearing problems? Is that why the music is so loud? Were we just super sensitive? Don't know, but I'll try again, next time with my titanium earplugs!

Vincent Wang

Visited the city again and wanted to try something different. Came here and was pleasantly surprised! The music was definitely poppin, will be back next time

Kimberly Edmondson

You never know when your last dance at the club will be!! If you had this thought throw it out, the crowd was 21-55 years old. The music was legit 70's through 90's with a good variety of all three decades. We got there at midnight having walked from our hotel 3 blocks away. The liquor prices can cause sticker shock however, it seems consistent with the area. Yes , it is up a flight of stairs but it is only tough to navigate up and down with a 5 inch heel. This is a low key club, dress up or down, we dressed up and had a blast!

Richard Wolff

Had a great time. Fun music, cool vibe, awesome location.

Went here with a friend late (1.15 a.m.) tonight (Sat.). They close at 3 p.m. The lady at the front door was snotty when my friend went to give her a credit card to pay for the cover. Granted, most places don’t take cards for cover, but her attitude wasn’t necessary. Anyway, ultimately, she said $10 cash each and put her nose back in her phone. I leaned forward and asked since they close in less than two hours would she accept $18 as that’s all the cash we had on us. She ignored me completely so I asked again, and she looked up and said no and put her nose back in her phone. I’d be surprised if a manager would have missed out on two people coming in for a couple drinks over being $2 short but, because she was so rude, I didn’t feel like dealing with it or trying to give them our business. If she’s any indication to their customer service, we pass!

Dyan Durel

60's 70's 80's music is what they advertise but we had to beg the DJ to play the popular disco & rock music from that era and he mixed in RAP which is not the popular 70 80's music at all!!! What a waste!!

stephen galligan

I m really confused how did this place get 4 stars just left it . It is above a deli lucky if there was 20 people here pics on web site could not have been taken here.music really bad 70 80.90 to choose from we were there 1hr heard same song twice .only one toilet ?? won't be back night ruined we where here 11.30 till 01.00 the place was empty only one level was directed to 1 toilet down stairs in the deli your doing great PR job but this is not a good club

Damaris Gonzalez

So I came here with my dad because he loves disco music and loves to hustle. The entry fee was 10$ which was pretty cheap for the area that we were in. The music was awesome great DJ and he took requests. It was a great crowd and nice vibe it was the right amount of packed. The only reason that I do not give this place 5 stars is because the bartenders sucked so bad, they were so rude for no apparent reason. I asked for a water with lemon and she took 10 minutes to give it to me then rolled her eyes when i asked her to put ice. They had that same attitude with everyone. Once they get new bartenders this place will be the full package.

Igor Carvalho

Great place!! I had fun like I haven't have for so long time! Music drives you trough time in a very nice way!! You can dance and drink all night long and will still be wanting more! Its really a place for fun with friends, without worring about no onelse!! I just recomend to add the dancing flor like the iconic Odissey 2001! Jeff, please add this dancing flor. I will be back from Brazil to dance again in your discotheque!!

Heidi Normand Berge

Edited review after owner/manager made me aware of my mistaken notion that the club had 3 floors/ bars/dance floors. I was under the impression that that was the floorplan but I was wrong. Rest of review is an exact representation of our experience. Again...maybe this was an off night. I am not a hater, and do not "always hate" as manager stated in reply to this initial review (and to every other bad review). I can only attest to our experience which is in contrast to some and in concert with other reviews here. After searching for the entrance for 5 minutes, we saw a white paper sign with the directions to the side diner entrance scrawled on it in sharpie. We entered into the diner downstairs, paid our cover charge (really?) and walked upstairs. To say that this place was empty at 12 on a Friday night is an understatement. There were, maybe 25 people. And to be bluntly honest, we almost walked right back down to demand our money back and look for something else. But we didn't. We decided to give it a try. After paying $52 dollars for 4 drinks in small plastic cups (and one was a club soda!) some of us danced. The night was not getting better. The music was not good. We heard Donna Summer 4 times, Madonna 3 times and when we tried to ask for New Order, it took forever to come on. We enjoyed that song but when the DJ played Kenny Logins...we knew it was definitely time to go. We needed time to find a new place to save our night, albeit $100 poorer and with one less hour to enjoy our night with. Others may have had great times here so I guess it's hit or miss. It's NYC...that happens. I'd try again based on other reviews if it weren't for the cover and obscenely expensive drinks. I get it. It's Times Square (my first mistake in choosing a place to dance in NYC) but for that price you would atleast expect an actual glass for your drink and something bigger than a juice glass. With such small plastic cups, they could also lighten up on the ice. The smell of tuna fish and coffee wafting up from the diner below didn't help the vibe either. Edited: This next part was added after the manager replied to my review so defensively. Now I'm not ever planning to try it again. Every bad review is replied to in the same defensive manner (and all with the same complaints) instead of respectful deference to our experiences. I manage multiple business SM accounts for our multiple businesses and I'd never reply to a negative review in this way. There is a way to plead your case in response to bad reviews and this is not the way to do it.

Truth Star

Sorry not a review yet, organizing a night out. Looking for '80s place similar to good ol Culture Club. Which is the best night for 80s, Fri or Sat?

Jacqueline Velez

Free to get in, drinks are inexpensive and the Disco is

cody

Went here for a work party and really had a nice time. Drinks are good, especially with the two-for-one special. BEWARE: Only thing i have a problem with is that they charged me a 20% service fee for party of one person, i would not have tipped on top of that if i had already known.

Michelle Hossanah

Was there last nite it was ablast the music .ppl. The atmosphere. The drinks was on point shot out to the bartenders they did their thing. Im a 70 babe .we enjoy neva mine it seem we were the onky blk in there. Lol will be back for st patrick day

Gelbert Ramos

Good to see the management care about peoples reviews. Great place to dance and drink!

Al Soto

Dump. The pictures are a total misrepresentation. Cover charge. $33 for 2 tiny drinks in plastic cups. Maybe 20 people in the place at 1am. Did I mention it's a dump?

Evelyn Perez

I had a great time last night. The music was great and crowd was good. I plan to go back.

Ariel Melman

What a fun club Came here a few times with a bunch of friends and we had a great experience. No other place in the city to listen to 70’s 80’s 90’s music. I recommend everyone to come and have a fun night!!!

Janet Lantern

This place is fantastic! I went last saturday for my birthday with a whole group of friends and have been twice before to their new spot. I love 70s and 80s and they played lots of it. danced all night with my friends and they mixed in some house 90s and current too! dj even took one of my requests lol. everyone was so friendly and the staff was nice. my new favorite spot for dancing in nyc! and yea... i love disco too and they are the only place that plays it!

Fawn Mattina

I haven't been here yet but i am looking forward to going!! I love classic disco 70's & 80's definitely will be going soon!

Sasha Butcher

Had the best time with my friends here!!! ❤️ We stayed until 3 AM!!

Nikita Burshteyn

Came here with a group of peeps for a Bachelor party! Had an amazing time, the DJ is fantastic (rated the best DJ in Manhattan)! Drinks are awesome! Highly recommended!

E Davis

It's small Night Club Dance Floor upstairs, but when it comes with the Dee Jay he spins the best Dance Hits from the 70's, 80's & 90's. If you are a Party Animal like myself that doesn't care how big the Dance Floor is or how many people are not dancing and just looking, then this is the Night Club for You, if your not a Party Animal and you like to watch...no problem; the more the better. Friday & Saturdays 10 pm to 4 am...enjoy!

Denise Santiago

Great time and good crowd.

Snezana Terzic

Great club, great music, the best DJ, I had so much fun, definitely I’ll be back!

Marcos Alonso

This is a scam. They make you believe reservations are needed to get in. We got there at 10pm after making reservations with “Jeff”. Reservations were confirmed by an email from the so called “Jeff”. The place was empty. It’s an old dusty place , old furniture and very poor layout . They charge you $10 to get in before you can walk up the stairs and actually see the place . We left right away as did another couple, both $20 poorer. Avoid this place at all times. Scam!

Lorena Hung

Me and my friends had a blast birthday party here last weekend 11/24/18 Great place, great music, great service, from the beginning till the end and I thank you for giving us such a wonderful time ! cant't wait to go back again :)

katherine winston

Wow! This place is really cool :-). My friends and I came and had a blast. DJ was playing all the right songs! Drinks were great! Definitely will be coming back soon.

Ralph Torres

UpDate...I love the music and the energy of the crowd enjoying the 70's, 80's & 90's. The drinks are a bit overpriced. Get there by 10 or you will miss out!

April Carter

Went here for new years and it was absolutely lit! I definitely recommend this place. The only catch is the restroom locations. Ladies, if you're wearing heels, keep in mind that you have to go down two sets of stairs to get to the restroom. That was the only pain in the butt for me, but other than that, awesome place!

Bart Hopkin

Went last weekend and had the best time. Music was on point, dj didn't miss a beat! Going to book my birthday next mos, great crowd with mixed ages.

E P

We came for a birthday party and left all smiles! Music is great - mix of disco, 80s, to current. We danced all night! It wasn't super packed when we arrived (early, around 10:30), but for us, that made it even better! More room to dance! When we left, around 1am, it was getting pretty crowded. Servers are very nice and accommodating. Crowd is a mixed-bag, but that just adds to the appeal!

Nicole Wittels

Had an awesome time!! Great music, so much fun!

David C.

Had a great time. The DJ was great.

Rickey Griffith

We chose Retroclubnyc for a birthday celebration and I'm glad we did! Their bottle service menu is priced fairly compared to other clubs in the area. The club itself was such a pleasant experience, the staff was awesome and the music was lit.

Mike Mazurkiewicz

Great music and great staff party party

Ileana Santiago

Don’t go this place looks like a cafeteria isn’t a club . This place is a scam.

Christine Sparks

DJ played way too much disco, and ignored my requests as well, but .... I had a blast. Not many places where a 40 something gal can shake her booty and not feel like the old lady on the dance floor! I will definitely return, even to dance to disco!

Michael

Had a great time at the new location! Really good vibe and everyone had a blast. Can’t wait to go back!
