Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The atmosphere is dreary, and the decor is stale and unappealing. The seating arrangements are cramped, and the lighting is poor, making it hard to see anything clearly.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is disappointing, and the dishes are mediocre in quality. I found the food to be bland and unappealing, and the portions were small for the price. The burger was flavorless, the fries were soggy, 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 slow, and the staff was not very friendly or helpful. They seemed unengaged 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 uninspired, and the quality is mediocre. The cocktails lacked any originality, and the beer selection was underwhelming. The bartenders seemed inexperienced and had a hard time making even the most basic drinks.
To website make matters worse, the live music performance that we were promised turned out to be a monotonous solo act, with the musician struggling to play the guitar and singing out of tune. The ear-splitting volume of the music forced everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was uninterested, just doing the bare minimum. The disenchanted 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 disappointing. The dreary ambiance, subpar food, low-quality drinks, and apathetic service were all below par, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are much better options in Moonee Ponds that offer a better bang for your buck. I was profoundly dissatisfied and will never come back at all charges.
