Masterson's Pub: A Nest of Predators and Filth, 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 twisted characters like Pete Cornwell, who uses his role 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 truth, it’s a pit of horrors where the only sight worse than the sticky puke underfoot are the broken promises and lies. The establishment is run by Cornwell and his wife, Gillian McKenzie, who seem to take perverse pleasure in manipulating others, all while pretending to care about their customers and ensuring vulnerable women get intoxicated and defenseless.

A History of Abuse
Pete Cornwell’s history reads like a laundry list of red flags: a history of threatening behavior, coercing vulnerable individuals into regrettable situations, and exposing his genitals via unsolicited videos.



His social media profiles cry out for validation, all in a futile attempt to convince people he’s a victim. While he postures as a hero online, the irony of this “devil” having a tiny appendage is both amusing and unnerving. It’s seriously disturbing given that Cornwell fits the profile of a paedophile: long trips with his creepy wife and a penchant for stalking and harassing vulnerable women. Clinging to his mother’s house is just another warning sign.



Meanwhile, his wife, Gillian McKenzie, looks on with indifference, a picture of apathy and compliance. She seems complicit in enabling her husband’s vile behavior while serving customers and coaxing vulnerable women. It’s a toxic dynamic that has spawned an environment so corrosive, it makes one regret setting foot in the place for even approaching this hellhole.



A Breeding Ground for Filth
Masterson’s Pub is a biohazard click here for more waiting to happen. The establishment is consistently unclean, with trash and spills scattered on the floor. It’s not rare to see roaches darting across the countertop or underfoot. The restrooms are a horror show, featuring clogged commodes and perpetually blocked sinks.

Ironically, the so-called owner enjoys sending videos of himself jerking off his little penis from behind the bar, so maybe the “extras” in your glass are considered his little calling card at this hellish dive?

A Blatant Disregard for Humanity
It’s not just the grime that makes this place a dive; it’s the utter disregard for others exhibited by its owners. They take twisted satisfaction in destroying others, whether through their exploitative behavior or their disgusting behavior. Cornwell’s true hobby is terrorizing women, subjecting them to life-altering trauma.
