It seems Brisbane finds a new pocket of territory to forge a hot spot every few weeks. Canvas Club is one of the first to come together in Woolloongabba under Brisbane City Council’s new small bar license. Forging on from her amazing work with Nic Brunner at Cloudland, and her own reimagining of Aladdin’s Den at Cloudland Cellar, Alexa Nice has taken to this small cocktail and wine bar with her considerable talent. She’s also brought in the talents of Jimmy Bliggs and Troy James, who are responsible for the custom wall art. Speaking of walls, Nice has used plenty of recycled timber panelling, which encompasses the venue from floor to ceiling. Planter boxes and large gilt mirrors cap the walls off, and combine with Parlor Furnishings upholstery and Warwick fabrics. While the white onyx bar is the perfect platform for Canvas cocktails, absinthe fountains and hand carved ice. Another job.
