Retropolitan Social is a retro central Christchurch bar, restaurant and functions venue.
Come and enjoy our friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We have live music at the weekends and sport playing on our two projectors; one inside, and one on our all-weather deck with 7 massive gas heaters and an open fire. Come up and see us and enjoy a classic fondue, 1/2 metre pizza or 1/2 metre platter from our new fantastic menu plus 12 great beers on tap, and our Bar Manager mixing old school cocktails. We specialise in social and corporate functions and events and we are damned good at it. We're located in the Salt District, upstairs beside Little High. Pop on up and say high. We'd love to see you, and we're sure you'll love our atmosphere, character and retro service.

Opening Hours Monday – Closed Tuesday to Friday: 3pm – Late Saturday: 3pm – Late Sunday: 3pm – Late
