Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The atmosphere is dreary, and the decor is old-fashioned and uninviting. The seating arrangements are cramped, and the lighting is unflattering, making it unwelcoming.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is disappointing, and the dishes are subpar in quality. I found the food to be unappetizing and uninspired, and the portions were small for the price. The burger was flavorless, the fries were greasy, and the salad was limp. The only thing that seemed decent was the loaded fries, but even they were just average.
Additionally, the service was lethargic, and the staff was not very friendly or helpful. They seemed uninterested in providing good service, and it took forever to get our food and drinks. When we finally received our order, it was cold and unappetizing. The staff seemed to be more focused on chatting with each other than serving the customers.
The drinks at Mastersons Bar are unremarkable either. The selection is limited, and the quality is mediocre. The cocktails lacked any flair, and the beer selection was mastersons bar uninteresting. The bartenders seemed untrained and had a hard time making even the most basic drinks.
To make matters worse, the live music performance that we were promised turned out to be a dreary solo act, with the musician faltering to play the guitar and singing out of tune. The piercing volume of the music forced everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was uninspired, just phoning it in. The displeased audience had no choice but to endure the disappointing performance, wondering if it was all worth it.
Overall, my experience at Mastersons Bar was remarkably substandard. The unwelcoming atmosphere, subpar food, inferior drinks, and negligent service were all unsatisfactory, and I here wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are superior options in Moonee Ponds that offer a better bang for your buck. I was extremely let down and will never come back at all costs.
