Soko Rooftop

Fortitude Valley

Updated: Aug 12, 2024

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.

Soko Rooftop 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.

Entry to the rooftop is via Symes St*, where an an elevator whisks you up to the 16th floor and sweeping 180 degree views of Brisbane City, the Valley and across to Mt Coot-tha.
