I'm not a late night bar kinda girl, but I like coming here for a small dinner and drinks. The menu is great, you can't find food like this anywhere else in Saginaw, try the grilled cheese with bacon jam or the crab cheese (best in town). All the of the skewers are amazing. I am a huge fan of their dipping sauces, there is a different kind of dipping sauce served with each different dish, which is great, they compliment them perfectly. Lots of thought went into their menu, which I appreciate. The have some great drink specials during the week and the palce always seems busy on the weekends.
Review Source:Well my husband and I got transferred to Michigan this year. I went out for the first time with some of my girlfriends to this bar. I guess I got spoiled by growing up in San Diego and our bars there. But this place is alright. My friends are kinda obsessed with it...If you like 80's music this place is definitely for you. Its kinda small, no dance floor but the bartenders are always attentive. They also have a screen in the back where you can text messages to and it will scoll down on the big screen for people to read. Its pretty funny. I'm sorta eh about this place. I don't have anything bad to say about this place but I wasn't thrilled by it either. I haven't tried the food yet but I've heard good things about it. If you're looking for the smaller bar scene, and some 80's music this would be the place to go.
Review Source:Great menu. Â This is a dance club type place later at night, but their dinner menu rocks. Â They offer everything from burgers to pork satay skewers, grilled tofu, ahi tuna and lots of international foods. Â Price is great and so is the staff. Â As of December 2011, on Sundays they are trying out an acoustic venue with low lights, special appetizers and acoustic retro tunes.
Review Source:This place is so.much.fun.
The soundtrack is all 80's and 90's and the drinks are cheap. Very cool ambience, and definitely no worries of contracting a disease from any surfaces. Also, you won't run the risk of accidentally witnessing any dancefloor sex, which in my experience has been a hazard of most bars/clubs that cater to a younger crowd. The decor is trendy without trying too hard; they've clearly tried to create a more upscale yet laid-back, come-as-you-are atmosphere and they pull it off.
Mondays are Ladies Nights and feature $1.50 domestic bottles and $1 off any other drink, I believe. The place didn't get overly crowded that night, which was nice. I have also been to Retro Rocks on a Thursday night for $3 Long Islands (which were very good), and this night it did get quite packed but not as badly as the place next door. Even with a crowd, I still didn't have to wait too long to get a drink.
I haven't been there for food but I hear great things.
Whenever I'm back in Saginaw, Retro Rocks will be a must.
80s and 90s music are now considered "retro" which ages the gen x, y and whatever followed that. This place caters to that crowd who can reminisce the good old days when Pluto was still a planet and chickenpox got you out of school for a week.
The bar itself is in the main room and there is a separate room with a large table setting of high bar chairs that almost separates you from the rest of your crowd when you sit around it. The drinks are strong and come in asymmetric glasses. Yes there is some attempt at class in Saginaw as evidenced by this small touch in drinkware and by the sinkworks in the bathroom. The surrounding dim lighting of the bar is an earthy or gunmetal-like color depending on which room you're in.
Overall this is a great place for drinking and people watching. The crowd is certainly interesting and widely variable. The music videos they play on the large screen also offer commentary by texting. Perhaps retro rocks I will "hit you baby one more time".
