This Melbourne institution played retro music before it was cool, and has gone from strength to strength.
The main club continues the retro tradition while upstairs you can be snapped back to the present day with hip hop, RnB and current top 40 pop tracks. Either way, there is plenty of dancing going on.
There are happy hours and meal deals to be had on certain nights too, so check it out.
