'No effort, no entry': Queensland pub introduces long dress code list

A popular pub in Queensland's south has introduced a controversial new dress code, claiming "no effort no entry" for punters.

The Beach House Hotel in the popular coastal city Hervey Bay posted on Facebook the new long list of outfits that will see pub-goers left on the street.

The venue said after 8pm it doesn't allow workwear of "any kind" including steel-capped boots, dirty stained or otherwise poorly maintained clothing, singlets or tank tops, thongs or slides, tracksuits and fleeced hoodies, hats and no lingerie as outerwear.

"If you are already on the premises for the purposes of enjoying a meal in the restaurant or gaming in our gaming lounge, you will be permitted to remain in those locations only," the venue said to people already dressed in one of these items.

"Entry will not be granted to other areas of the hotel."

But not everyone was impressed by the long list of banned clothing items with some social media commenters calling for the venue to "relax".

"Bit late for April fools don't you think?" one person said.

"I was planning on coming down on my birthday with probably well over 20 people dressed up. It will be 100 per cent all effort but these rules may mean we go elsewhere," another said.
