after the Battle of Coruscant, privately owned. - Accessibility: Tucked away in the hover-streets of Coruscant's 3rd level down, Club Retro isn't exactly hard to find, nor hard to get into, but it is a lesser known club within the entertainment district.
- Description: A beat not heard in 900 years, the outside of the building is mostly unassuming outside of the neon sign advertising the wonder inside. Should you find yourself in a funky mood, Club Retro is the hippest place to be!
- The Lobby
- The frontroom of the club acts as a gateway into another world. A world long forgotten, seeming to be built to resemble the cantinas of old. Couches line the walls for weary dancers to rest, while tall, well built bouncers stand at the bottom of the two staircases leading upstairs to the bar, as well as downstairs to the dance floor. The thumping beat of music could be heard behind a pair of massive doors, while checkboard floors and surrealist art give a peak into the hip world beyond the lounge.
- The Left Wing Bar
- Up a western set of stairs, past the bouncer, a rather chill bar and restaurant sits, overlooking the music. Designed for folks who want to simply enjoy the vibe without exerting themselves, or take a break from the funky beat, the bar and grill offers anything from burgers and fries, to a nice steak, and of course any number of beverages you could ask for.
- The Right Wing Bar
- Up the eastern set of stairs, the bar seems to be much more wild and free, with private booths for folks who want a date to themselves, or a little me time, the selection of the bar is much more eclectic, ranging from Atrisian Wine, to Echani Gin, or even Hapan whiskey. Cocktails, mixed drinks, and anything you could ever want to order, served by a Twi'lek who owns the place. Just don't be a bunny, and harsh her vibe, or she'll call the bouncers on you.
- The Dancefloor
- With both bars overlooking it, the neon dancefloor is the center attraction of the club, strobing lights from all directions emphasizing every beat with a flash of color. Spotlights hang above, shining down on folks, and pointing to the disco ball that hangs and spins in a constant display. The tiles that make up the floor itself flash with vibrant colors, large enough to fit a good 50 humanoids on it's flashing floors.
- The Stage
- In the rear of the dancefloor, a stage is set for live music. Normally occupied by the local group PABA, a group formed by the friends of the club owner, the group consists of 4 members, two Twi'lek woman, Jay Tizrey and Laza Dummock, an Onderonian human man by the name of Dos Rad, and a bothan male by the name of Haar Kirrat, the group is happy to play any of the hits of the past, what few have survived.
Between their performances, a wookie DJ mixes the grooviest beats, allowing experimentation and creativity to shine upon the dance floor.

- Backstage
- Behind the curtains, the inner workings of the club hide away. An office for the woman in charge, a safe for all the profits, and rooms for performers and employees to hide away between shifts. While the backrooms have none of the glamour and color of the club, they serve a necessary function to allow the business to function.
Low
Outside of a few security alarms around the premises, and a few bouncers stationed at strategic points, the club isn't exactly looking to ward off any armies, only drunken patrons and under age teens trying to sneak a drink. The only other security is the people inside, whom they might be varies by the day.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Founded during the Second Great Hyperspace war, Club Retro was built by Yami Dar, a twi'lek woman from Ryloth looking to recapture the feeling of her hometown, a small village untouched since the days of the Empire. While Coruscanti folks seemed uninterested in Twi'lek customs, they did seem to gravitate towards the older stylings of Rebellion Era music, old records that Yami had lying around from her homeworld. AS such, calling up a few friends from her homeworld, they established Club Retro, a place where the beats of old reign supreme, and patrons are encouraged to indulge themselves in Galactic Civil War Era nostalgia, dressing in normally garish, outdated threads, and dancing to music most have forgotten.
While the club was a hidden spot for many years, the arrival of
Jonyna Si
, and other 'cryokats', as the club slang has deemed them, the club has seen much more activity as of late. With the Invasion of Coruscant, the club was mostly destroyed, but with the help of the new Sentinel of Harmony and the Service Corp's assistance, the club has been completely rebuilt and refurbished. Should you feel that saturday night fever running through your bones, or simply feel a bit of rebel yell, Club Retro is the place to be!
