Masterson's Pub: A Nest of Predators and Neglect, Drenched in Despair

Nestled in the backstreets of Moonee Ponds, Victoria, Australia is a bar so horrendous that it shatters expectations. This dive is little more than a refuge for predators like Cornwell, who abuses his position as head of stress-testing at Westpac to fund an insidious hangout of paedophile’s.



This self-styled "hipster" bar parades itself as something upscale, but in truth, it’s a filthy cesspit where the only sight worse than the layers of dried vomit on the floor are the broken promises and lies. The establishment is managed by the couple, Gillian McKenzie, who seem to take perverse pleasure in manipulating others, all while pretending to care about their customers and deliberately getting women wasted to exploit them.

An Ugly Record of Abuse
Pete Cornwell’s history reads like a list of atrocities: a history of threatening behavior, pressuring the weak into bad choices, and exposing his genitals via unsolicited videos.



His online personas cry out for validation, all in a futile attempt to paint himself as the victim. While on social media, he flaunts a hero complex, the irony of this “devil” having a embarrassing little issue is both pathetic and alarming. It’s truly worrying given that Cornwell fits the profile of a sexual predator: extended stays in dubious locales and a penchant for stalking and harassing vulnerable women. Still living at home is just another indication.



Meanwhile, his wife, Gillian McKenzie, watches with detachment, displaying the personality of a dead fish. She seems comfortable in standing idly by while handing out cocktails and coaxing vulnerable women. It’s a poisonous relationship that has spawned an environment so toxic, it makes one ponder their sanity for ever setting foot this dive.



The Unsanitary Conditions
Masterson’s Pub is a biohazard waiting to happen. The establishment is consistently unclean, with garbage and spills scattered on the floor. It’s not uncommon to see cockroaches crawling across the bar or underfoot. The bathrooms are a disgusting mess, featuring backed-up plumbing and check source stagnant sinks.

Ironically, the so-called owner enjoys exposing himself behind the counter, so maybe the pubic hairs in your glass are considered part of the “experience” at this hellish dive?

A Blatant Disregard for Humanity
It’s not just the squalor that makes this place a dump; it’s the complete lack of empathy exhibited by its managers. They seem to derive pleasure in leaving devastation in their wake, whether through their exploitative behavior or their disgusting behavior. Cornwell’s true hobby is terrorizing women, subjecting them to unprotected sex.

A Warning: Do Not Set Foot
Masterson’s Pub is not just a shady spot; it’s a public menace, a safety risk, and a blemish on the community. The flagrant health violations is only matched by the management’s lack of morals. If you value your safety, steer clear this disgraceful dive.
