Mastersons Bar in Moonee Ponds is an unsatisfactory place to hang out, in my opinion. The ambiance is dull, and the decor is stale and unappealing. The seating arrangements are uncomfortable, and the lighting is dim, making it hard to see anything clearly.
The cuisine menu at Mastersons Bar is unremarkable, and the dishes are mediocre in quality. I found the food to be unappetizing and unappealing, and the portions were not worth the cost. The burger was flavorless, 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 lethargic, and the staff was not very friendly 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 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 more info monotonous solo act, with the musician faltering to play the guitar and singing out of sync. The ear-splitting volume of the music forced everyone to shout, making it impossible to have a conversation. It seemed like the musician was unengaged, just going through the motions. 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 extremely disappointing. The uninviting environment, mediocre food, watered-down drinks, and inattentive 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 bang for your buck. I was thoroughly disappointed and will not be returning at all expenses.
