“ I really like Degrees Plato. It's clean, bright, friendly and with the parking lot, it's perfect. I feel comfortable going there alone. The food is always super fresh and delicious. The potato taquitos are a treasure. The hot, creamy potato mixture inside a crunchy taquito/flauta, topped with cold sour cream and shredded cabbage and more...is amazingly satisfying. They have good vegan, veggie and omnivore options. ”
“ Live music on Wednesday and great beer! What more do you need? Great place to come and grab a beer, hangout and snack on light bites. ”
“ Large selection of beers on tap and excellent chilaquiles. Sunday menu is limited to brunch items until 3:00. ”
“ First I just ordered food. The guy helping me was so nice. I didn't specify to go until afterward so he literally walked back to the kitchen to tell them it was to go. I watched him. And he had such a great attitude about it. On to the food. I got the 3 tacos, one of each. the tofu one was my least favorite (shocking not I, since I'm not vegetarian) though the toppings and sauce were fantastic. The chicken was soooooo juicy. The carnitas was a tad bit over cooked. But it was all good. Loved the selection of ciders in the fridge so I bought a 6-pack to take to the A's game. I'll be back and I'll actually enjoy the music and vibes of the bar, which were giving a lil hipster a lil punk but very welcoming. ”
“ What a cool place! The first thing I noticed was how casual and comfortable it is. You can imagine spending a few hours here just eating something and having a couple of pints. So far, I've been here a couple of times, and the staff taking orders at the bar were friendly and fun to chat with. The beer selection is curated and you'll definitely find something to your liking. On my most recent visit, I got to try Laughing Monk Justice Ruth Double IPA on tap, which I'd previously tried in cans. If you're an IPA fan, this is a great pick! On my first visit I tried the 3-type of tacos, tofu, chicken and beef. I have to say, although all were delicious, if I tried them again, I'd go for the tofu, which surprised me. The way the tofu is seasoned/spiced and cooked is fantastic. On my next visit I was lucky that it was during brunch so I could try the Degrees Chilaquiles. Great choice! What makes the dish is the somewhat pureed beans. This is high level comfort food, trust me! I've no hesitation in recommending this place. ”
“ So I went here for SF Beer Week and my jaw dropped when I saw 55 taps. They didn't have all 55 taps up but they still offered over 20 beers, wine, non-alcoholic beers, ciders and kombucha. We had a red ale and an IPA and both were great. They had everything from lagers to blonde ales to imperial stouts and sours. My hubby got a torta with chips and salsa and it was tasty. We parked at a meter on the same block. Restrooms were clean. Staff was great! Enjoy I also really appreciated all the thought that went into all the events they did for SF Beer Week. They had the most creativity to me and some great collaborations with breweries I am less familiar with. ”
