The new owners of the Crown and Anchor Hotel in the CBD are holding a community meeting tonight amid concerns a proposal to turn the pub into a gentlemans club featuring topless waitresses and pole dancers will attract the wrong clientele to the area.
the proposed up market gentlemans club at the Hotel is facing increased community resistance with Newcastle MP Tim Owen agreeing with disgruntled nearby business owners and residents, stating the club is "completely innapropriate" for the CBD and he will "be doing everthing he can" to stop the proposal going ahead.
Hotel Staff have said that they have spoken to council and all relevant authorities and have invited liquor licensing and licensing police to attend the meeting.
