We stopped on a Saturday just after noon. The food was excellent service was great price was very good. Highly recommend

Nice dark interior. While the service was good if a little spotty that is not what turned me off on this place. I wish I'd gone to another yelp recommend place that had more negative reviews but was right around the corner. The lasagna while not terrible . It was pretty good for a nuked lasagna with the smallest side salad I've ever had and a minuscule amount of garlic bread. What really got me was a spinach lasagna came out for a regular that was so much bigger than mine. Wish I'd gone elsewhere. read more

Thirsty Thursday so $4 drafts are a huge bonus . Not a big variety , but can't expect much for the price. Drunken Pig Nachos were apparently on special for $12 , but viewing the menu , I think this was standard price. Chips were not homemade and stale. Portion was small. Pork topping decent. 3% surcharge for using credit card. Which is suppose to be posted by law according to credit card companies. No sign to be found. read more

We made a trip to Murphy, NC to meet up with someone and check out a few flea markets, and decided to stop by The Mason Bar for lunch before heading back to Tennessee. Parking was super convenient -- we found a spot right on the street out front. Inside, the bar has that classic dive-bar charm: dark wood, cozy lighting, and a small, tucked-away stage in the back that looks perfect for live music. There wasn't any music while we were there, but it seems like a great setup for it. Our server was friendly and checked in on us a few times, which we appreciated. As for food and drinks, I ordered a Pineapple Paloma -- definitely a unique twist on the classic! I actually liked the unexpected smoky tropical flavor, though my husband took one sip and said "Ew, no!" (LOL). We split two sandwiches: the Pesto Grilled Cheese and the Italian Ciabatta. Both were tasty, with crisp bread and fresh, flavorful fillings. The chips were standard, and the side salad was simple -- nothing special, but no complaints either. Overall, it was a solid lunch spot. I'd definitely consider coming back, especially if there's live music next time -- I imagine that would add a great vibe to the experience! read more

Great local place to grab some grub! There's parking out front along the Main Street area. It's a cute little square with eats and stores. This restaurant is tucked inside of a building where there's a retail store and an ice cream store connected. There's a dining room and bar. They do have a rather large stage area where live music is (check their socials for schedule). You can tell immediately that this is a local place where people gather. The menu offers a variety of choices. We started with a beer on tap and a spicy margarita that was tasty. We ordered the pulled pork and slaw tacos that come with a side (got potato salad), and a Garlicky Joe (sloppy Joe served on two pieces of garlic bread) that came with kettle chips. And yes, just as much as you were intrigued reading that your tastebuds would be equally pleased! It was delicious. Such a great combination. Was ready to order another side of this kettle chips too. Super friendly employees! Again, you get that down home feel and know that this is a local restaurant. read more

We wandered in to the Mason Bar as we headed into Murphy to shop. We were greeted as we entered, and served fairly quickly with drinks. Our server was efficient, and seemed to be knowledgeable of sensitivities. When the food came, we were shocked to see how tiny the servings are. We literally laughed. My little steak tacos were tucked into small romaine leaves. Check the picture to see the size comparison of the tacos (which should appear larger, since they are in the front of the picture) to the chips behind them on the plate. Unfortunately, the beef was very chewy, though the flavor was good. I also ordered a side of potato salad. This was tasty, and actually a decent size for a side. Hubby ordered a Caesar Salad, which looked like a small side, NOT an entree. (See the pic.) The granddaughter ordered a sandwich. The chips on her plate looked as big as the sandwich! We decided that this must just be bar food. If you're looking for a drink with a small amount of food, this may be just the place for you. read more

Really friendly and set a wonderful tone for our vacation week in Murphy. The sandwiches were terrific! We had a turkey club and a chicken Parmesan, and both were excellent. We felt very welcome. read more

Lavender lemonade was refreshing and tasty! We also enjoyed the Cuban sandwich and the spinach lasagna with salad. The staff here is friendly, helpful, and works hard! They had one server for the restaurant while we were there, and she was helped by the bartender. These gals never stopped running! We highly recommend this friendly and fun location! read more

The Mason Bar is located in the heart of the downtown Murphy area. Our server was friendly and the food was great. I enjoyed a local brew. Well, I enjoyed a few Carolina Blondes. Our pesto grilled cheese sandwiches were made just right. The bread they use might be a ciabatta and it's not greasy like some can get with too much butter. I liked the added tomato slices, but my step-daughter had hers without. There's ice-cream available by the front entrance and they have a live music schedule and daily specials posted. We were there for lunch, but you could come with some friends for dinner or have some drinks while playing pool and darts. We'll be back as soon as we can get back up to Murphy! read more

The food is delightful, and I find myself returning frequently, largely due to the excellent service. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, and they have a knack for remembering names. It has certainly become a downtown Murphy favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't visited. They often have entertainment, including pool, table darts, and other small games, with ample seating available. Upon entering, you are immediately greeted by the staff. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting the town. I have a great fondness for the Mason Bar; it is the perfect place to unwind after work before heading home for the evening. read more

The Mason Bar - Bloody Mary - Salad Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

Very cute bar, but called at 6 pm regarding karaoke... they said it began at 7 pm. We had a nice appetizer and asked when karaoke started... they said 7:30 pm. At 8 pm they began and when my husband went up to be put on the list... he was 13th in line. They have their own private group. Disappointed.... I told the waitress and she said she would try to move him up... but it was too late. My husband was done and we felt like it was not a welcoming crowd. So unfortunately... not a high rating for us! read more

We were at group of 4 and we all loved our lunch selections. We started with 2 mason jar bloody Mary's which were very tasty! I highly recommend those. I had the American Chili. The bowl tasted like homemade chili. The beans were the perfect texture! Great music in the background. You can actually have a conversation without screaming. The waitress was very polite! read more

Addyson was incredible! She was very sweet and ran to make everyone's experience great.

This was a lovely little gem in downtown Murphy! We stopped in with my mom while visiting her and my grandma for the holidays. The place was decked out in beautiful lights, definitely embodied the holiday spirit! We arrived before my mom so we ordered a beer for her and ourselves. They had some good draft options as well as bottled options. They also have cocktails and very yummy shots. I ordered an almond joy shot; it tasted as good as it looked! My boyfriend and I shared a pesto grilled cheese sandwich which was delicious. Their menu includes mason jar salads which sounded really good, along with appetizers and other sandwiches. The people working were also super friendly. They had karaoke scheduled the evening we were there; we ended up going back to my mom's house before it started but I will definitely keep this spot in mind for next time I visit! read more

Good food, prompt service and great atmosphere. We always stop here while traveling through Murphy.

I really didn't expect much from Murphy, NC when I first toured the place I would be working at out here two weeks ago. It was out of town. But man, this little town is cute once you drive into it. And this place is a perfect representation of this town. I ended up here by accident; the place I intended to go to was closed. I'm so glad it was! The ambiance is exceptional, the service was great, and the food is solid and well-priced. When was the last time you ordered a salad somewhere and could add chicken to it for $3? I'll be coming out here every two weeks for a while and this is going to be my spot! read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Ran over to grab a sandwich while the rest of my group was at the brewery. Despite ordering something as quick and easy as a sandwich after waiting over half an hour they still had not even started on my order. One person working in the back. No communication that it would be a while.. Had I not already paid I would have just left. Would not come back no matter how good the food was read more

Best gourmet grilled cheese! Kim could not have made it better. Very flavorful. Mason Bar is a great place for a local brew and great music! Service was outstanding as well read more

Band was too slow to start so we left early. Seems they were more interested in a casual jam session to entertain each other instead of entertaining the crowd. Steak tacos were decent, I little lite on ingredients. Ambiance was really good. read more

Visiting the area, we were advised by a local to check out the Biscuit bar for lunch. This consisted of not only the obvious - biscuits with gravy - but perhaps 10 other bread (I can recall Strawberry and Banana breads, 2-3 types of bagels, caramel, and crescents. Just can't recall them all). There was an equal assortment of jams/jellies/cream cheeses, etc. Coffee/tea came with the entree ($!0, all you can eat, or $15 with a drink such as a Mimosa). Quite good, and the service matched it. We were told they'd be switching up their menu to a more traditional breakfast fare, so your mileage may vary. However, they appear to be savvy restaurant owners, so I would expect the quality to keep pace. read more

The owners of the Mason bar are the worst. The wife was absolutely rude and unprofessional, talked to me like I was an idiot when asking questions at their ice cream counter, she was also rude to an employee right in front of me. All of their food is bought from Walmart and reheated, I watched Dan the owner carry the bags in himself. Definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Very disappointed. Drove into Murphy just to go to the Mason Jar. Monday June 5th at 1:00 pm. Two of us walked in and sat at the bar. No bartender in sight. A male server walked by us and went to the register and didn't even acknowledge us. Another gentleman was sitting at the bar also. After 5-8 minutes we walked out. As we walked out, we saw a young lady walk in from outside. I assume she was the bartender. We saw her talking outside with a gentleman with a dog when we entered. read more

The Mason Bar - The Mason Bar Murphy NC - Salad Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

We arrive at The Mason Bar to have dinner after reviewing a recommendation on Yelp, boy did we make a huge mistake. First, when we entered the building that Mason's is location we notice an ice cream shop across the hall was own and The Mason Bar, everything else was closed, no biggie. The sign read Wait to be Seated and we waited, and waited and even waited some more time. Finally I walked to the bar to fine it unmanned. There was four or five people standing around a table. We continued to wait for a staff member but after 20 plus minutes we decided to find somewhere else to dine, Mason's obviously did not need our business. I suggest trying one of the other places in Murphy, NC next time you need something timely. Mason's is not the place to dine. read more

What a great surprise.... Location in downtown Murphy is perfect. Stopped in for an early supper. Loved the grandma's homemade Chili recipe and the Cuban was delicious. Great flavors. Our server was RayLynn and she was a delight-Smiles and fun. The background music was enjoyable because it allowed us to still talk to each other and not have to shout. We'll definitely be back again. read more

I've come to this bar a lot, and I haven't ever had the service I have had today. It's absolutely horrible. Bartenders coversating with the kitchen staff, talking badly about customers when they think they're not in ear shot. April and Daniel unfortunately can't leave a staff alone and e pdct the service they present. I rarely write these being in the restaurant industry for 18 years, but its been the worst service I've had in a long time, especially here at Mason Bar... read more
