The new Grosvenor Hotel, Brisbane included new features like sports bar, beer garden, boardroom function area and topless barmaids from 10am to increase its sales.

Grosvenor's General Manager Jasmine Robson said, the pub has been heavily modernised by a multi-million dollar fit-out. After the introduction of table dancing, pole dancing and "shower shows" attracts a customer base of "predominantly white-collar males".

But solicitor Kerry Douglas-Smith, whose office was next door, said the establishment was a threat to public safety, morality and local commerce, with one of her solicitors recently going to the aid of young woman being harassed by patrons exiting the premises.

"It's making the area not safe for women," the paper quoted Douglas-Smith, the high-profile lawyer and former Gold Coast councillor, as saying.

A spokeswoman for the Java Coast Cafe, which trades six doors down from the pub, said they'd lost customers since the hotel had opened in June.
She said the caf ©'s garden courtyard shared a wall with the beer garden and that the noise and language heard was "offensive to many of our regulars".
