New: Maple Bar opens upstairs at Treehouse Bar

For the ladies who are sick of being hassled at bars - there's a new Civic bar where it's forbidden.

Maple Bar is the name of the new top floor venue now open at Treehouse Bar.

The space, which was previously just the upstairs section at Treehouse, is aimed at an older crowd than its downstairs counterpart, and has been given a makeover with dark, elegant features and a big gold chandelier.

Maple Bar not only has a semi formal dress code - cocktail dress for the ladies, smart shirt, pants and dress shoes for the gents - there's also house rules, including that everyone has to bring their manners, and men aren't allowed to approach women.

For the men, the rules stipulate that if a woman does in fact approach you, "treat her as your would your mother".

A new cocktail list has been specially designed for the new space, including cocktails featuring gold and maple syrup, a nod to its name.
