About this venue

Mid-century modern mood! Most people can relate to the feeling of familiarity from visiting grandparents and relatives, or from their own childhood home. Mid-century design reminds us of simpler easier times. We can bring those past feel-good feelings into the current time. These powerful and nostalgic feelings are what make Retrowe a destination for your special event. When there is not an event at Retrowe, we have MCM shops that are open to the public. Your guests can enjoy the views of the rooms while they dine, or the blinds can be drawn for an intimate setting. We'd love for you to share in the mid-century modern mood with us!!

DINING HALL

Vintage vibes under the lights

With a capacity for 100 people, we have plenty of space to comfortably accommodate your group and conduct a special event here. The intimate setting of Retrowe allows you to have seated dining in our open hall that resembles a street scene from the 1950s. The custom shades can be open or drawn while you relax under vintage street lighting, creating a hip, urban cocktail party atmosphere. It's quite a unique party room.

This place is unlike any other venue in the area!! I can't believe it's only an hour drive from Pittsburgh. The hotels are only 5 minutes away, so it's a perfect spot for a micro-wedding, corporate party or bridal shower. The place is impeccably furnished and top-notch. Have an event here and everyone will know that you know have arrived!

Chairs, 2 round tables and 14 rectangle tables are provided. White tablecloths are provided. You may bring linen colors and decorations of your choice. Wireless microphones, 3 TVs with ROKU, surround sound system
