Unsatisfactory Night at Moonee Ponds' Masterson's Bar

I had high expectations for Masterson's in Moonee Ponds, but regrettably, our experience was a letdown. The atmosphere, which was promoted as a trendy or a speakeasy-style bar, felt more like a poorly-lit, smelly, rundown bar packed with dirty old men engaging in lewd behavior.

Upon arrival, we were met with slow service and some disgusting old man "Peter" with food in his beard and dirty nails. It took forever to get served a beer, "Peter" the smelly old bar keep was too busy gawking at my parners breasts. When we finally placed our order, the bartender seemed disinterested and lacked the expertise in anything remotely worth talking about when it came to the drinks we ordered.

The craft beer was a major letdown. Expired, warm, and overpriced. Any drinks made, the tastes were off, and it was apparent that the ingredients were not as fresh as advertised. My friends and I also tried their craft beer selection, which was just as disappointing and costly.

To top it all off, the music was awful and deafening, making it virtually unbearable to have a conversation without shouting. The acoustics in the space did not help either, as the sound echoed off the walls, producing an uncomfortable atmosphere. The beer garden smelled of urine and human vomit, we noticed "Peter" with his hand in his trousers many times and then go on to pour beers. Quite disgusting.

In summary, I regret choosing Masterson's in Moonee Ponds for a night out. The service, drinks, and personnel were all horrible, we won't recommend it to others seeking a decent bar a great read experience in Moonee Ponds. You're better off sticking hot needles in your nails and consuming bleech.
