About the function space

The street level Niagara Room, on the Eastern side of Retro's ground floor is the original site of the 1850s Niagara Hotel public bar. Originally serving a motley crew of street workers, gold prospectors new to Australia and general "rouseabouts", the Niagara Hotel (AKA Retro) was named after the ship on which the original owners arrived.

The Niagara Room has come a long way since those days, and boasts its own street frontage to Niagara Lane (a private street entrance), a private bar solely serving the room, separate toilets for your guests, thick curtains for complete privacy and a fully heated all-weather private outdoor/smoking area. Importantly, it also hosts Club Retro, an institution in Melbourne's nightlife scene.

Decor is classy, dark, moody and perfect for any kind of function.
