    If you are a craft beer lover, this place is a Detroit staple and locals hot spot. Their beer selection is always top notch and the staff is very friendly. You are always greeted when you arrive and the staff learns your name as you frequent their shop. If you're new to the beer scene, don't fret! The staff can always help guide you and give strong recommendations for beers you pay like. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, but get there early because it fills up fast! Street parking is available and Plato shares the building with The Peterboro, so you can always order food from them and bring it into the taproom. Make sure to check their Instagram- they post almost daily which is so helpful to see what's on tap and what their stock inventory looks like. I can't say enough good things about Plato!

    This was my first time here! We were trying to stay in the area prior to our concert and this was a really cool spot. They specialize in specialty beer and liquor. So it's a "high end party store" but also a bar with unique beer choices. The owner took his time helping us with our selections and was super friendly. His wife owns a boutique in Detroit as well. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We sat and enjoyed a couple of drinks before moving on to our concert. We will definitely be back!

    It's like being an adult in a grown-up candy store. Except instead of candy, it's all the most random, tasty-sounding, and interestingly-labeled beers you'll ever see! They also have 16 beers on tap that you won't find at most breweries or bars. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable, and the space is like a corner bar but with a grocery section that's just composed of beers. There's also a refrigerated section where you can scoop some cold ones, and for a small corking fee, you can open and enjoy on premises. Swing by, explore, and try a new beer on their small from patio! Cheers!

    Beer, beer, and more beer! The craft beer selection is exceptionally top notch. You can find just about anything that you may be looking or searching for. If they do not have it, they can help you get it and or find it. The staff has an impeccable knowledge of all things beer. Especially helpful if you want to purchase a few different beers is their flexibility to split 4 packs into singles. This is a huge plus to know when browsing and contemplating purchases. They also have a small bar with draft selections. So you can actually make purchases and sample in same location.

    Loving on this place for its great atmosphere, lovely staff, and great beer selection - both bottled and on draft. Great place to stop before a game or dinner. You can find both communal seating and bar seats or small tables if you want to enjoy a dolo drink. They also have wine (in a can!) for this not into beer.

    I loved everything about it!! Im at a place in my life when I go grab a brew I just want to be in a nice atmosphere with good people. Not looking for the LOUD, head and chest pounding musical selections, or the over production of a franchise based bar. 8 Degree Plato is a place I could just grab a beer by myself and enjoy the accommodations and beer selections.

    Makku, three different flavors!

    Very friendly staff! I ran in to pick up some Makku for a Yelp tasting event and they were stocked with three delicious flavors! The original, blueberry and mango. There was outdoor seating and a bar inside with seating as well. Their selection of handcrafted beers is the best!

    Was recommended to come here by The Skip. Searching for a nice brewery in the area, this was it. The environment was chill and around 7pm it was not packed, which was appreciated. They carried a variety of drafts and samples were 1-3 dollars so you could easily create a flight and sample every beer for about 15-20 bucks. They also sell beer as well, I did not purchase any of these, but it provided nice decorations during my visit.

    I. Fell. In. lOVE with this place! Awesome, helpful, and friendly servers. Comfy setting. Very welcoming. Nice and quiet. Like the decor. Just everything about this place is great! :)

    Everything you could want in a craft beer store - knowledgeable friendly staff, vast selection, clean organized shelving and placement. It's in a fun location with lots of places to walk to t embibe. Parking is a bit tricky. Some street parking but also surface parking (potholes included) behind the building. But best of all....they have a bar! A rotating unique selection of beer. Get a flight or a pint or a tulip. (Nd there's wine for your non-beer friends)

    This whole place is such a summer vibe. There is a little something for everyone…read more It was a bit confusing when we first arrived. Here is the lay of the land: Check in at the little red table in the center of the outdoor courtyard if you want "full service". - which means eating and drinking at a table with wait staff. It is not seat yourself at the outdoor tables, like we originally thought. There is a nice sized bar indoors and seating at the bar is first come first served. We ordered several of the small plate "snacks" and I can tell you that the hummus is not to be missed. It is served with (homemade?) tortilla chips that are absolutely addictive. They have lots of choices for wine, beer, and cocktails. Towards the back entrance of the property, there is a drink truck where you can also order "walkaway" food and drinks. Not entirely sure where you sit with the food/drinks you order, as most of the seating seemed reserved for full service. Additionally, there is a photo booth for pics (long line) and Warda Patisserie is right next door and accessible through a garden walkway.

The inside restaurant area is also beautiful. We wanted to sit inside at the bar, so we waited for some seats to open up. If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable. I bought one of their wine glasses with their logo on it too for just $10.

We stopped in on a Thursday night in January and the kitchen was open late, which was a huge relief. Service was quick and friendly, though a little snarky.

I'd like to visit during the warmer months now!

When I suggested "German with German beers on tap" the decision was made. We lucked out with our arrival on a busy night as the place is first come, first served and it is not at all very large. Three or four tables, two community tables and a dozen seats along the bar. And if you're not inside, you're queued up outside. We got the last two tables. Beer? They have all the big German beers on tap in large and larger glasses. Or if you want a tin? They have that too. They even have the good NA beers if you prefer. I started off with the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen from Dortmund Germany (not very Germany purity law pure, but it's hot). On a hot day after walking too many streets of Detroit, this was a treat. With dinner, the Hefeweizen from Brauerei Pinkus Müller from Münster, Germany. Both cold and delicious and refreshing. For dinner, I chose the wurst platter, taking off the potato pancakes (I'm sorry) and substituting red cabbage. They were deliciously grilled, served hot and I enjoyed them very much. The only miss was that they didn't have their own mustard. I had to use the table mustard which was a bummer. Great service, we were never rushed though the serving staff was trying very hard to keep up with the flow. It was a fabulous meal and my great Yelp reputation with my colleagues continues.
