Where you can play arcade games, watch a VHS taken from a videoclub or surf in a cyber?

The place that has all this is called Retroclub but it is a hidden place that you can access only by reservation. A real capsule to be in the 80s and 90s.

If you ever dreamed of going back to the golden decades of pop culture, there is a hidden place in Palermo that perfectly recreates a room from the 80s or 90s down to the last of its elements. If you want to watch vhs, play on the fichines, arcades and surround yourself with cuddly bears, this retro club is the perfect place for you.

Retroclub: a perfect capsule of everything that was the 80s and 90s.

Retroclub is a themed space in Palermo that recreates with perfectionist detail the spirit of the 80s, 90s and 2000s. You could almost say that it is a museum of that era because it has what someone who lived those times would have. The furniture, the vhs of the movies that were all the rage in those years, video games of that time to play on a TV of those years.

In addition, stuffed animals, dolls, toys from the eighties, but also objects that now could not be found in any store, only maybe in a collector’s fair... In this retro club there are many more objects that you can’t even imagine.

An interactive museum of nostalgia to relive your childhood

From the moment you walk through the door, RetroClub transports you to another era. Every corner is designed to relive those unforgettable years. You will find a room full of posters, toys and iconic details.

Also, a cyber cafe like those of that time, with old computers and old school internet connection (the one that makes noise). The cinema is a must, so there is a video store, full of VHS movies and music CDs for you to watch and listen to as if you were a teenager out of Stranger Things.

This retro club also has an arcade with original cards from more than 40 years ago, board games, magazines, stuffed animals and classic video game consoles. Forget your cell phone because in this 80s club it will seem unnecessary!

How Retroclub works

This retro space in Palermo is only open by reservation so you can have everything whenever you want. Besides, it is a place with so many special elements that you have to take care of them. So, if you want to visit this retro club that few know, you have to enter the Retroclub website, book the day and time you want (you can go up to four people at a time) and pay.
