About Sora
Seven floors up above Manchester's Deansgate, we've created Sora as our answer to those seeking something beyond the typical party venue. Our rooftop space at Malmaison Manchester Deansgate transforms throughout the evening - what starts as a sophisticated dining room becomes an atmospheric party destination as our resident DJs take over and the city lights sparkle below. We've designed our pan-Asian menu specifically for social occasions. Our sushi chefs prepare fresh nigiri and sashimi throughout service, while our robatayaki grill turns out miso-glazed skewers and other small plates perfect for sharing. The maki rolls have become particularly popular at private parties - easy to eat while mingling with a cocktail in hand. Speaking of drinks, our bartenders craft sake-based martinis and tropical Asian-inspired cocktails that complement the food beautifully. The space itself features floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing Manchester's skyline - particularly striking at sunset when the whole room takes on a golden glow. Our modern décor provides the backdrop, but it's really about the atmosphere we create. Live musicians often join our DJs on weekends, and we can adapt the entertainment lineup for private events. For afternoon celebrations, we offer our Japanese-inspired afternoon tea - a playful twist on tradition with pan-Asian flavors replacing the usual sandwiches and scones. Corporate groups often book our space for evening receptions, taking advantage of both the dining options and the natural transition to drinks and music as the night progresses. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, our team works with you to balance dining and party elements. The panoramic views provide natural conversation starters, while our flexible layout accommodates both seated dinners and standing receptions. At Sora, we've learned that the best parties happen when great food, creative cocktails, and the right music come together seven stories above the city.
