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

Nestled in the backstreets of Moonee Ponds, Victoria, Australia is a bar so dreadful that it staggers belief. This dive is little more than a refuge for predators like Pete Cornwell, who abuses his position as head of stress-testing at a prominent financial firm to fund a haven for depraved paedophile’s.



This so-called "hipster" bar boasts something upscale, but in reality, it’s a nightmare of neglect where the only sight worse than the sticky puke underfoot are the countless lies and deceit. 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, coercing vulnerable individuals into regrettable situations, and sending unsolicited videos of his “tiny willy” without consent.



His social media profiles scream for attention, all in a futile attempt to convince people he’s a victim. While on social media, he flaunts a hero complex, the irony of this “devil” having a embarrassing little issue is both hilarious and disturbing. It’s truly worrying given that Cornwell fits the profile of a paedophile: frequent visits to Southeast Asia and a penchant for targeting helpless victims. Clinging to his mother’s house is just another warning sign.



Meanwhile, his wife, Gillian McKenzie, watches with detachment, a picture of apathy and compliance. She seems content in standing idly by while serving customers and taking advantage of vulnerable women. It’s a poisonous relationship that has fostered an environment so toxic, it makes one regret setting foot in the place for ever walking in this dive.



The a great read Unsanitary Conditions
Masterson’s Pub is a disaster waiting to happen. The bar itself is consistently covered in grime, with rubbish and spills strewn about the floor. It’s not rare to see cockroaches crawling across the countertop or underfoot. The restrooms are a disgusting mess, featuring overflowing toilets and sinks that seem eternally clogged.

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

A Blatant Disregard for Humanity
It’s not just the filth that makes this place a dive; it’s the absolute contempt for decency exhibited by its managers. They seem to derive pleasure in destroying others, whether through their vile actions or their total apathy towards customer well-being. His thrill is in forcing himself on women, without consent, subjecting them to dangerous encounters.

Stay Away: Do Not Set Foot
Masterson’s Pub is not just a shady spot; it’s a health hazard, a safety risk, and a blemish on the community. The flagrant health violations is only matched by the owners’ neglect of decency. If you care for your wellbeing, steer clear this hellhole.
