Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The ambiance is dull, and the decor is old-fashioned and uninviting. The seating arrangements are cramped, and the lighting is unflattering, making it hard to see anything clearly.
The food menu at Mastersons Bar is disappointing, and the dishes are subpar in quality. I found the food to be tasteless and uninspired, and the portions were not worth the cost. The burger was overcooked, the fries were greasy, and the salad was wilted. 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 inattentive 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 disappointing either. The selection is limited, and the quality is average at best. The cocktails lacked any originality, and the beer selection was disappointing. 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 struggling to play the guitar and singing out of sync. The unbearable volume of the music compelled everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was uninspired, just doing the bare minimum. The disenchanted 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, inferior food, watered-down drinks, and negligent service were all below par, and I wouldn't suggest it as a viable option. There are far superior options in Moonee Ponds that offer a better return on investment. I was profoundly dissatisfied and will never come back mastersons bar at all costs.
