Find us, if you can! Prancing Sorrel challenges visitors to locate its hidden entrance, claiming to be a "hidden bar" not easily found. Situated in the heart of Malang, this bar offers an exclusive and mysterious atmosphere, with access restricted to those in the know or who have a reservation, adding an element of surprise and exclusivity for its guests.
The name "Prancing Sorrel" evokes a lively and vibrant aesthetic, inspired by the owner's cherished horse, Lily Jessica Tjokrosetio. For Lily, the horse symbolizes high-spirited determination and winning spirit, qualities she hopes to bring to Malang’s entertainment scene.
“Today, we present Prancing Sorrel to convey our fighting spirit and strong character, ready to enliven Malang with new and diverse entertainment options,” said Lily at the grand opening.
