Maitland goes upmarket

I remember the days when you could go to HVB (formerly the Hunter Valley Brewery, then The Valley) and only have worry about your outfit until 9pm. If you were a Red Bull-meth chaser dickhead, of course.

Now, in a tragically misguided attempt to erase the venue's tawdry reputation, new management has proudly pronounced their almost comically draconian new rules of behaviour beside the front door:

Guess which ones basically say "No Gladiator Motorcycle Club members"?

Oh, and the venue now sells duck pizza, complete with a duck egg in the centre.

Some places just deserve to be bulldozed.
