Retropolitan Social is a retro-style bar, restaurant, and event venue located in the heart of Christchurch. With its relaxed and friendly atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. On weekends, enjoy live music, or catch the latest sports on two big projectors—one indoors and one on the cozy outdoor deck, complete with gas heaters and an open fire.
The menu features something for everyone, from classic fondue to half-meter pizzas and platters, all paired with 12 beers on tap and old-school cocktails expertly crafted by the bar manager.
Retropolitan Social is also a top choice for social and corporate events, known for making every occasion special. You’ll find us in the Salt District, upstairs next to Little High.
Drop by and experience the retro charm!

We went there with our 2 kids and they absolutely had a ball. The server was so friendly and great, made it so memorable for the whole family.

A Delightful Family Dinner in a Retro Setting
We are a family of three and had a great time at Retropolitan Restaurant. The decoration, lighting, and music created a very relaxed and nostalgic atmosphere. The place has a strong vintage vibe, with lots of suitcases and old objects used as decorations. The staff was very warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We ordered the Surf and Turf, Garlic Chicken Penne Pasta, and the Mega Meaty Goodness Pizza. The portions were very generous. The steak was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Our child especially loved the rich, cheesy pasta and the pizza, the crispy pork on top was surprisingly delicious and worked really well! We were so full and satisfied that the three of us could only manage to share one dessert. We chose the Pot Brownie, which had a rich chocolate flavor and was absolutely delicious. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
