At the heart of SORSO is a meticulously stocked bar, radiating timeless elegance.
The extensive beverage menu is a celebration of craftsmanship, featuring premium spirits, international grapes, and signature mixed drinks curated with precision. The Aperol Spritz takes centre stage with a creative twist—offering a flavour for every palate.
Here, mixologists don’t just pour drinks; they craft experiences, blending the classic with the contemporary to elevate every sip.
While the drinks are undoubtedly a highlight, the revamped Bites to Share menu is equally impressive.
We started with the Cheese & Italian Cold Cuts Platter, a lavish spread of international cheeses, licenced cold cuts, crisp crackers, and jams that added a delicate sweetness to the savoury selections.
Portions are generous, with a perfect balance of bold flavours and premium ingredients.
Then came the BBQ Licenced Meat Ribs—a true showstopper. Slow cooked to perfection, the meat effortlessly fell off the bone with the mere touch of a fork.
Served with creamy mashed potatoes and southwestern coleslaw, this dish is as hearty as it is indulgent, making it ideal for sharing—or for one, if you’re feeling ravenous.
What truly sets SORSO apart is its immersive experience.
Live entertainment by Tracey Preston adds a soulful dimension, her voice weaving seamlessly into the luxurious setting.
The soft glow of ambient lighting, the elegant crowd, and the sultry rhythm of the night ensure every visit feels bespoke.
