Degrees Plato Tap Room Bottle Shop & Kitchen — Restaurant in Oakland

An amazing addition to the Laurel district. This is the best spot to hang out with your family, friends, dogs, kids, whoever! Easy parking, comfortable spaced out outdoor seating (most of it covered for inclement weather), and super dog/kid friendly. The tap room has the absolute best selection of local craft beer, with a to-go cans/bottles section that is unmatched if you're looking for rarities, unique brews, and local craft classics alike. Tap pours are quite reasonably priced, and there is always a wide variety from DIPAs to sours to Belgians. Tap wine and cider also available, and also good local craft stuff! The Mexican food is amazing here-- some of the best I've had since living in San Diego. Vegetarians will love their numerous options (soy chorizo torta and papas taquitos, you can't keep me away...) and meat eaters rave about it too.

2 1/2 stars. Craft beer and Oaxaca inspired Mexican food! What’s not to like? Plenty, unfortunately: Terrible acoustics, music way too loud. Inadequate seating, the bar especially.

Others here have complained about the immovable benches. Southwest Airlines have better seating. If I try to squeeze in I bruise my knees. I’m 6’ 2” so OK, but neither can I touch the floor. No foot rail, so your feet just dangle. The benches are bolted to the floor, so you can’t move them out. For gods sake, rip them out and start over! Standing would be better. Had some good tacos Saturday night but Monday night, no. Only nachos on the menu. Horrible. P

Look either just serve beer or revamp the entire seating and acoustics, hire a full time chef and dishwasher and turn place into a real destination spot for the entire Bay Area....

Great beer, nice folks, and I have high hopes. Some less than good directed at the owners. Write descriptions for the beers. Far too much time was put into describing beers to each and every customer. Just write it down. They finally seemed to get that those taps just gotta flow. At one point the line was 12 long. Furniture needs to change some. They'll get that. BUT- at one point I looked across the room, some 20 feet away, and realized I could hear him talking. Noise abatement is NOT optional, this place is LOUD in an unpleasant way. But we enjoyed it for a new place with some rough edges. Very creative beer selection at reasonable prices. We had one food we liked and the other look d good too, also at reasonable prices. Good...
