Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The ambiance is dull, and the decor is outdated and unappealing. The seating arrangements are crowded, and the lighting is unflattering, making it hard to see anything clearly.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is nothing special, and the dishes are subpar in quality. I found the food to be bland and unimpressive, and the portions were small for the price. The burger was overcooked, the fries were soggy, and the salad was unfresh. The only thing that seemed decent was the loaded fries, but even they were just average.
Additionally, the service was unprofessional, 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 constrained, and the quality is mediocre. The cocktails lacked any flair, and the beer selection was underwhelming. website The bartenders seemed unskilled 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 tedious solo act, with the musician struggling to play the guitar and singing out of tune. The ear-splitting volume of the music compelled everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was unengaged, just phoning it in. The displeased audience had no choice but to endure the subpar performance, wondering if it was all worth it.
Overall, my experience at Mastersons Bar was exceedingly unsatisfactory. The unwelcoming environment, subpar food, watered-down drinks, and negligent service were all substandard, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are far superior options in Moonee Ponds that offer a better bang for your buck. I was profoundly dissatisfied and will avoid this establishment at all charges.
