The old 'Cloudland'.
The new 'Cloudland'.
I'll make this brief. The new CLOUDLAND Complex in Brisbane, is, and NEVER was going to be a counterpart to THE IVY in Sydney.
Besides the (Tit Soup) Pool, The Ivy has been created and conceived on the highest of levels. Cloudland however, has not.
Situated in the 'Bermuda Triangle of Ugliness', Cloudland is the epitome of tackiness. Where ZURI and FAMILY take the awards for gawdiness and downright bad taste respectively, CLOUDLAND takes the stale cake for the over-the-top theatrics that fall flat. The Dining area would succeed in putting an obese patron off their Lamb Ragout, which tries very hard to imitate the MAD COW from The Ivy, but falls way short. The furniture and fixtures are plain godawful.
Cloudland confirms that Brisbane is still leaps and bounds BEHIND it's southern sisters when it comes to quality Food and Beverage venue's, some highly talented and respected architects and interior designers have been involved in this project, but it's obvious the owners had a very clear (yet acidtrip-esque) vision of what they wanted.
We've waited 3 years for CLOUDLAND and as far as I am concerned it's a major disappointment. I thought the days of entering a club through an entrance the size of a B & D Roller Door finished with the demise of Transformers back in the 90's! The retractable roof and waterfall window scream P & O Cruises circa 1984. The living garden in the Qantas First Class Lounge in Sydney makes the flora in this catastrophe look like 'The Garden of Evil', complete with killer mosquito's!
I'm sure it will have it's fans, drunk SJP wannabe's wearing Witchery and Aldo pissed as homeless women trying to score a football playing boyfriend, or the Faux-Beckham's with their 6 inch Collars and deconstructed Industrie jeans trying to score a root.
Lizzie Loel will love, love, love the food, and will label it 'the Versace' of cuisine, the Tania Zaetta's of the world will visit, the music will pump, and the patrons will vomit in the orchids. I however will see none of this, most probably because I'll be at the Buffalo Club drinking Gin and wondering when the next cavalcade of crap is erected!
Justine Hemmes, WE NEED YOU!!!
The Darlings of CLOUDLAND past must be jitterbugging in the graves!!

Little Miss Splendid
Agreed!! It's yet another tacky Brisbane offering!!!!!
It's obvious that someone wasn't invited to the grand opening.Well I guess it was invite only for the who's who of brisbane.
You call your blog "BrisbaneStyle", so you're based in Brisbane?, yet bag it. Its people like you and many others that holds Brisbane back from the rest of the devloped cities due to your stupid comments.
Cloudland is actually an exciting place, with so many design eliments to see and explore, only one's who have an eye for design can actually see that.You may want to go see an Optometrist buddy.
Brisbanetyle... maybe you should change your name to Mr Style King who thinks he know's it all.
Everyone has an opinion, they are like arseholes, we have one.
Mr Nice
Dear Mr Nice,
Thank you for your response to this POSTING.
You are right, I was'nt at the opening, as I was overseas, but watching an old dude (Prick-asso) dangle his cock in paint and then splatter it on paper is'nt my cup of tea.
Thank for your opinion, and thank you for making one about mine.
I stand by my comments. CLOUDLAND could be so much better.
I hear the 'waterfall window' is already broken!!
Brisbanestyle.
PS. Who is the Who's Who of Brisbane?
PSS. GET SPELLCHECK!!!!
Mr Nice,

Oh Mr Nice, why don't you stick to hanging out at The Glen hotel with your parole officer and your midori and lemonade and FUCK OFF.
