Soko Rooftop: BrisVegas Jungle Fever in the Sky

By www.BrisVegas.com.au

If Tarzan opened a cocktail bar in the middle of Brisbane — but made it ultra-glam with high heels, wagyu steak, and jungle drums — it would be Soko Rooftop. Tucked above Jubilee Place in Fortitude Valley, this Amazonian-inspired rooftop haven is where the rainforest meets ritzy rendezvous. And let us tell you, BrisVegas — it’s a vibe.

Soko doesn’t just offer a night out, it delivers a full-blown experience. Think lush greenery, tribal textures, glowing lanterns, and waiters who look like they just stepped off a GQ runway. Whether you’re perching at the lively open-air bar or lounging like rooftop royalty on the terrace, the view over Brisbane city is just the icing on this very tropical cake.

Kick off with a round of Pisco Sours (Soko makes one of the best in town), then dive into share plates like the Kingfish Tiradito — a citrusy, melt-in-your-mouth raw fish dish that dances between spicy and delicate. Then there’s the Wagyu Beef Tataki with ponzu pearls that pop like fireworks in your mouth, and the Charcoal Chicken Anticuchos that redefine skewers as an art form. Vegetarians, don’t panic — the Jungle Mushroom Ceviche is earthy, zesty, and absolutely moreish.

But the real scene-stealer? The Soko Signature Sushi Rolls. These aren’t your average takeaway maki. We’re talking rolls layered with grilled lobster, crispy quinoa, and edible flowers — because nothing says “I’m fancy” like florals on raw fish.

Feeling extra indulgent? Order the “Churrasco Experience” — a meat-lover’s dream where skewers of chargrilled beef, pork, and chicken arrive at your table like a parade of protein with jungle beats and all the trimmings. Pair it with one of their wild cocktails like the “Amazonian Kiss” (passionfruit, jalapeño, and tequila — muy caliente), and you’re set.

Music is an essential part of the Soko atmosphere. DJs spin tribal house beats, drums come out after dark, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch one of their iconic fire shows. Yes, actual flames. In Fortitude Valley. On a rooftop. You didn’t hear it from us, but the party often continues well into the early hours — Soko is where nightlife and nature make out under the stars.

BrisVegas Tip: Book ahead — this jungle is no secret. Wear something bold, something glam, and something you can dance in. Oh, and don’t forget your phone — that leafy backdrop was made for the ’gram.
