Soko Rooftop

Fortitude Valley

SOKO Rooftop is an Amazonian jungle-inspired rooftop bar and Peruvian-Japanese restaurant perched atop the stunning glass tower which soars above the historic Jubilee Hotel in Fortitude Valley.

The original heritage-listed hotel has been merged seamlessly with the impressive architecturally designed tower to create a contemporary-meets-vintage playground named Jubilee Place, incorporating a massive indoor beer garden and brewpub, whilst preserving the original rooms of the landmark 19th century hotel.
