Denver
speakeasy $$
Retrograde is an intimate, space-themed speakeasy hidden behind a freezer door inside the Sweet Action ice cream shop. Guests enter by flipping a wall switch to find a venue offering creative cocktails, complimentary popcorn, and cult film screenings.
Commenters share mixed feedback, with several playfully scolding the creator for giving away their favorite secret hangout. While many praise the lively atmosphere and rotating bartenders, others express frustration over inconsistent, subpar drinks and long lines that stretch back into the ice cream parlor.
