Timeline
We weren’t here very long. Most of the time I was just looking for people to take random photos with:
-
- Creepy green turtle man behind us
-
- Outside line at The Retro Hotel Sydney
-
- I dont know how Koalas fit into Halloween
-
- This was pretty scary
It got pretty hot and stuffy on the top level, and we ended up drinking loads of water
Oh, and here’s the koala doing a dance:
Recommendation / Rating
Good place to go after a dress up party for sure. Always a good vibe, but only on Saturdays. Fridays is pretty much crap.
Saturdays @ The Retro Bristol Arms Hotel – 8.0/10
