No hats, no umbrellas (dangerous), no music, no vibe. The Nth Bondi RSL is the perfect example of an unwillingness by certain segments of Australia to modernise and embrace culture. A place where innocuous rules stand way above customer satisfaction.
This could be a world...class bar and restaurant, on the beach with front row views, but instead of comfort and music, the have beer taps and cheap plastic tables and seats.
As you enter you will immediately become aware of being an outsider, signing in, a few rules, and begrudging welcome before an underwhelming food menu and a massive screen playing cricket (does anyone actually watch that “sport”?).
It’s a shame these types of people and clubs have maintained a privileged advantage in Australian society, for they have truly added very little apart from beer + beer + beer + no hats..
in summary, and rules and no substance.More
