Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The atmosphere is lackluster, and the decor is outdated and unappealing. The seating arrangements are cramped, and the lighting is dim, making it difficult to read the menu.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is disappointing, and the dishes are mediocre in quality. I found the food to be bland and unimpressive, and the portions were unsatisfying. The burger was flavorless, the fries were undercooked, 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 unwelcoming 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 disappointing either. The selection is constrained, and the quality is average at best. The cocktails lacked any creativity, and the beer selection was underwhelming. 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 monotonous solo act, with the musician faltering to play the guitar and singing out of sync. The unbearable volume of the music forced 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 lackluster performance, wondering if it website was all worth it.
Overall, my experience at Mastersons Bar was exceedingly substandard. The unwelcoming atmosphere, inferior food, watered-down drinks, and inattentive service were all substandard, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are far superior options in Moonee Ponds that offer a better return on investment. I was thoroughly disappointed and will never come back at all expenses.
