Slow service, decent food, and problems with debit cards.
I visited Moonshine after watching it featured on TV and hearing decent reviews from friends. I visited early on a weekend and it was fairly empty. I sat and the bar and was greeted quickly and offered a drink. The idea of serving beer in mason jars is creative, but it's just a different kind of glass.
Being empty, I was expecting quick service when it came to food. College football was on, so I ordered the wings which are on special during football games. It took a good 40 minutes to get my wings and when they arrived they didn't seem fresh. I also ordered the mac and cheese, which was nothing special.
The place really started to get busy around 1:30pm as the ASU game was about to get started. The place became very busy and I seem to have gotten lost in the mix. It took me at least 20 minutes to get another drink after finishing the first.
Despite my better judgement I ordered the deep fried oreos for dessert and was was grossed out by how greasy they were.
When closing out my tab at the bar, I paid with my debit card and left. After moving on to another bar, I was shocked to learn that I had two separate charges from Moonshine on my card. One of the charges was not even mine! It was kind of embarrassing as my card was declined because of the second charge by Moonshine. I called my bank and had to request and advance to cover my bill at the other bar.
I highly doubt I will return to this establishment based upon all that I experience in my first visit. I understand that new places experiencing growing pains as they emerge onto the Mill Ave. scene, but things need to change before I would give this place any higher of a rating.
