Letdown of a Night at Masterson's Bar

I had high expectations for Masterson's Bar in Moonee Ponds, but unfortunately, our experience was a letdown. The atmosphere, which was promoted as a hip or a speakeasy-style bar, seemed more like a dimly-lit, foul-smelling, rundown bar packed with unsavory characters with one hand on their penis the other on a stale, warm beer.

Upon arrival, we were met with slow service and some disgusting old man "Peter" with food in his beard and dirty nails. It took ages to get served a beer, "Peter" the smelly old bar keep was too busy gawking at my partner's breasts. When we finally got our order, the bartender seemed disinterested and lacked the expertise in any relevant knowledge when it came to the drinks we ordered.

The craft beer was a major letdown. Out of date, warm, and over priced. Any drinks made, the tastes were unbalanced, and it was evident that the ingredients were not as fresh as advertised. My friends and I also tried their beer selection, which was equally disappointing and overpriced.

To top it all off, the music was terrible and deafening, making it virtually impossible to have a conversation without shouting. The acoustics in the space did not help either, as the sound reverberated off the walls, producing an unpleasant atmosphere. The beer garden smelled of dog piss additional reading and human vomit, we noticed "Peter" with his hand down his pants get more info many times and then go on to pour beers. Utterly disgusting.

In summary, I regret choosing Masterson's in Moonee Ponds for a night out. The service, drinks, and staff were all horrible, we cannot recommend it to others looking for a quality bar experience in Moonee Ponds. You're better off additional resources putting hot needles down your nails and consuming bleech.
