Loved the vibe! Entering through a freezer door was great! Staff was very friendly. Air conditioning wasn’t working, so we only stayed for one drink. Clever names for drinks, but for $16 a drink I wasn’t overly impressed.

Very cool little place. I like the idea of walking through a freezer door. The staff was very friendly and the drinks were great. The only uncomfortable part was that they are dealing with air conditioning issues. But totally worth it if you don't mind.

Awesome concept, speakeasy behind a freezer door 🤫 Went on Fri nite 4/1. Make sure you go and turn the light switch on to add your name to the list! Line of people waiting likely already put their name already. (+) Props to my man Josh who was the gatekeeper to this speakeasy, who kept calm cool and collected despite the many people who would come in and out. I found his ability to keep track on high tech pen & paper impressive and even helped out taking our order when we got inside. His estimated wait time for our party of 3 was on point (45min-ish) 👌 Cozy scene & seats. Quaint. 1 bathroom. Fun cocktail names, got The Phantom Planet. (-) Looked great but yikes, that drink was not very enjoyable sad to say. I love me a good old fashioned but this was too heavy on the alc. Maybe some people like that if they wait and pay for $16 drink, but I usually like to enjoy the flavors they mentioned on the menu 🤷🏻‍♂️. Unfortunately took away frm the experience for me. I'd definitely be willing to come back to try again, (maybe it was just that night) because overall such a cool lil spot 🧊😎

Are there lactose free ice cream options?

Not on Retrograde itself since that's a bar. The ice cream store attached to it - Frozen Matter - has a few vegan options.
