| - I've been here twice so far, first time to meet up with friends and the second time for a work event. This review is mainly for the work event as there was much more to it than just a drink at the bar.
We decided to do a beer tasting event with executives and young professionals. Tickets were $30, but that covered the executives tickets, food, drinks, and probably other fees I am not aware of.
Pros: We were able to reserve the picnic tables in the front for our event. We got to sample 4-5 house brews: from light ales to dark stouts to a peach one. We also got samplings of food from Momocho (or maybe it was El Carnicero?): chips and guac, a fried stuffed hot pepper, some sort of corn taco, and this corn cake thing. All were tasty and I think the beers did pair decently with the food. The atmosphere was pretty laid back which made things more easy going for mingling amongst our group. You can park in the funeral home lot right at the corner so that makes parking simple and easy.
Cons: We sat at picnic tables, would have been better if there was a special room for groups, but it is what it is. It was really loud inside, especially when people started playing that bowling arcade game right next to us. A rep from Platform and one from Momocho (or El Carnicero) came to each table to discuss what we were eating/drinking, but often times they had to interrupt our groups to do this. May have been nice to have a little print out description of each course instead.
Over all I like Platform and would check this place out again during happy hour with some friends.
