About This Pub
Ah, The Retro Lounge – it's one of those hidden gems in Blackpool that just hits the spot for a good night out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the drinks are an absolute highlight; think perfectly mixed cocktails like the Blue Sky or a classic Long Island iced tea that's spot on every time. The staff really go the extra mile, being super welcoming and professional, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting. And let's not forget the music – with excellent DJs spinning old-school tracks and even karaoke sessions, it's got that lively atmosphere that keeps things entertaining for everyone, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or staying for the evening. On the flip side, though, the opening hours seem a tad unreliable, with it only open five days a week and some mixed-up schedules, so you'd want to double-check before heading over. Plus, it's still building its reputation, so it might not be as packed as some of the bigger names in town, but that's part of its charm if you fancy a more relaxed spot. All in all, if you're after a place with great tunes, tasty drinks, and a friendly crowd, this one's worth a punt – just plan ahead and you'll have a brilliant time.

Amazing drinks, friendly staff. Favourite place to get a drink. Love the most recent cocktail Blue sky. Plenty of options and deals on drinks
Just what we'd been looking for an old skool bar with Excellent music. Luv luv luv the Dj, you could tell he loved his job. Cocktails spot on
This is a brilliant place, it does d school music, kareoke, very modern surroundings, great service all age groups through the day
My partner took me here to try the cocktails as I love long Island iced teas, but never managed to get a decent one. That was until tonight. Thankyou Ethan the mix was spot on and the splash of coke actually sat on the top. Nice atmosphere great service. Will be back.
Everytime the girls and myself visit we always get the best service. The venue is always very clean the staff are always very friendly and professional, the drinks are decently priced, the cocktails are delicious and the music is brilliant with great djs on the decs. I think it’s safe to say that retros is definitely one of our locals and if any one is looking for a good bar with great vibes to go to whilst on holiday in Blackpool then the retro lounge is definitely the place to go (they also have a cracking karaoke room you can hire out for a decent price) #oneofthebestbarsintown
