SOPO

SOPO is a club dining and entertainment venue on Scarborough Street in Southport, combining a bar, bistro, live performance spaces, gaming and function facilities under one roof. The setting suits a range of occasions, from casual meals and after-work drinks to organised celebrations and corporate gatherings.

The bistro serves familiar Australian-style favourites, with steaks, schnitzels and seafood among the main options. Dining is designed to be relaxed and family-friendly, making SOPO suitable for lunch, dinner or a meal before an evening event. Regular food specials add variety across the week, while the bar provides a casual place for drinks and socialising.

Entertainment forms a central part of the venue. The program features live bands, acoustic performers and tribute acts, with music presented across multiple rooms. Midweek activities such as trivia, themed nights and bingo give the venue a broader social calendar beyond weekend performances. The atmosphere can shift from an easy-going dining environment to a livelier nightlife setting as entertainment gets underway.

SOPO also includes a substantial gaming area with more than 140 gaming machines in a comfortable, contemporary setting. Responsible gaming is promoted as part of the venue’s approach. The combination of dining, music and gaming gives groups the flexibility to spend an entire evening in one Southport venue, while the function spaces provide an option for private or organised events.

Located in the Gold Coast CBD, SOPO works for local diners, families, social groups and event organisers seeking a practical venue with several forms of entertainment in one place. Checking the events calendar before visiting is useful for matching a meal with live music, trivia or another scheduled activity.
