ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGIES IN SIANA VALLEY
A sister to the hugely popular riverside watering hole Siana, Siana Valley in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley is a glass
fronted venue split over three levels. Overlooking the Valley police precinct, Siana Valley opens to the road on two sides and has a massive bar and cafe area at ground level. Upstairs is the dining room, designed with the same seating format used in the city of long, lit high tables and comfy padded stools lined up in perfect rows. At the end of the seating is an open kitchen where the flare of wok burners create a culinary theatre.
The venue is the brainchild of Insyde Restaurant Group (formerly Plaza Foods) who wanted to create a spacious contemporary venue with sensational décor in four zones flowing over the levels. With more than 790 sq metres of floor space, the purpose-built multi-level venue has intimate corners for relaxed lounging, plus lots of space for the restaurant, main bar, lounge and VIP pool room.
