Stopped in on our way through Madison, headed to Minneapolis from the Chicago area. Fantastic MCM glass, impeccably clean. Thoroughly enjoyed shopping here - too much, in fact! It was difficult trying to decide how to narrow down my selections to match my wallet. The selection of merchandise overall is well curated. You definitely don’t feel like you are in grandma’s attic. Prices are incredibly fair. Very friendly. We were discussing how hard it sometimes is to find MCM stuff, and he happened to know a place we could look up near Minneapolis while we were there. So glad we stopped. It will definitely be a regular stop when we are driving through Madison!

I swore Id keep this place a secret so I can have it all to myself but that would be a little too selfish. You should absolutely check out this little shop. Looking for a rare, unique vintage treasure? Look no further. AND! He gets new stuff in on a regular basis so you never know what gem youll stumble upon.

This little boutique offers a wonderful selection of vintage home decor items, plus one-of-a-kind lighting creations made from old projectors, cameras, electric meters - you name it. Its like walking into a pristine time capsule, but you can pay to take some of it home with you! Highly recommended.

This place was really neat. The prices are also great! I found some awesome comics, stickers and posters. They just had cute trinkets that you wouldnt find in other places. I generally find in stores like this, the prices are excessive, however this is not the case for Retro-Revolution.Highly recommend for thrifters or vintage lovers!

My husband and I LOVE this place!! Weve been loyal customers since they were at their first building. Every time I go there with nothing in particular in mind I end up leaving with something. So check this place out if you need a gift for someone because they have things you didnt even know you needed. The staff is wonderful too!

I love this store. My husband and I bought a beautiful blue light here and it hangs, stunningly, in the foyer. Also, this shop has gorgeous glass pieces, unique stickers, antique jewelry, and all sorts of other weird stuff. A MUST SEE IN MADISON!

Retro Revolution (3225 E. Washington Avenue, Suite B, Madison, WI 53704) is a very nice retro antique store. The store is very clean and the staff very customer friendly. Large selection on one floor. To see the whole thing takes about 25 minutes easily and worth it. Has something for everyone. No public bathrooms. Great place to go antiquing.

Review №24

Omg, if you want to be taken back to your childhood, this is the place to go! Pop culture, at its finest. I am still laughing about the sexy skeletor print. I seriously need to but it. Found some nice deals at the $1 jewelry sale (the reason why we went). They have an amazing collection of glass ashtrays as well, and sexy pendant lights a la 70s (my dad had a couple until recently)

Review №25

Totally worth the drive! This little gem will not disappoint! Retro-Revolution proves that it is possible to offer an abundance of antique and vintage wares in a very clean and extremely well organized environment. The owner and staff are not only knowledgeable, friendly and engaging, but they have an unparalleled way of making every visitor of their humble establishment feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. Retro-Revolution delivers a warm sense of nostalgia that most similar shops fall short of being able to replicate. Do yourself a favor and make this destination a priority...you’ll be glad you did!

Great wide selection of 60s to 90s selection sold at reasonable prices. Staff was alright, but only talked when I bought something. If you want something cool and retro definitely stop by for a bargain.

Loved this store!! I was born Dec. of 1950 and everything reminded me of the 50s, 60s and 70s growing up. Prices seemed reasonable. Jewelry, furniture, dial and push button telephones, houseware, decorative pieces, etc. Its practically a museum that young adults and kids would get a kick out of!!😊

Expensive and the owner was not personable.I was there months ago. It was when the blacktop was being refinished. I like e the glass and am a collector. Shop was ice. The clerk did not really respond to either myself or my husband and answered as though I was bothering him.
