Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The atmosphere is dreary, and the decor is outdated and uninviting. The seating arrangements are uncomfortable, and the lighting is poor, making it unwelcoming.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is unremarkable, and the dishes are subpar in quality. I found the food to be bland and unappealing, and the portions were not worth the cost. The burger was overcooked, 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 slow, and the staff was inattentive or helpful. They seemed disinterested 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 nothing special either. The selection is uninspired, and the quality is average at best. The cocktails lacked any creativity, 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 monotonous solo act, with the musician faltering to play the guitar and singing out of sync. The ear-splitting volume of the music compelled everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was uninterested, just phoning it in. The dismayed audience had no choice but to endure the subpar performance, wondering if it was all worth it.
Overall, my experience at Mastersons additional information Bar was extremely substandard. The unwelcoming atmosphere, inferior food, watered-down drinks, and inattentive service were all substandard, and I wouldn't suggest it as a viable option. 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 costs.
