    Great selection of beer on tap and in the beer fridges to purchase.
    Patty P.

    I have wanted to go here for some time! I know they have great events, loved the relaxed vibe, murals, friendly service, and beer fridges with beer from all kinds of established, emerging, and BIPOC breweries. Had a beer and purchased a six-pack. Sat outside and remarked often about how chill, relaxing, and welcoming Degrees Plato was. If you love beer, chill outdoor space, food (we didn't get any but saw people eating happily), check it out!

    Beers to go!!!

    I love this place. It feels very Oakland, community vibes. The people working are mostly pretty friendly. They have a lot of events like comedy nights, live music, trivia. I love their fridge section - you'll catch me picking from their wide variety - drinking and enjoying there, or even taking them to-go. They have a great rewards program- every time you pay, link it to your phone number and your credit card gets associated with your account. You earn points that become discounts! The ambiance is artsy inside with the European artist murals. The outside back patio is a chill vibe especially when it's nice weather or there's live music or both! There's a bunch of tables out there. I like that the drafts change all the time. Always a good selection. And they have food if you get hungry! Street parking is available but sometimes uncertain on MacArthur - find the side streets! Or, there's a parking lot a few steps away by like the car wash on MacArthur. There are TV's playing a security camera feed of the parking lot inside lol. So I guess the parking lot nearby is meant for Degrees Plato patrons! Better yet enjoy the drinks and take the bus or rideshare. There are bus stops right in front or across the street depending on the direction you come from.

    Not going to lie, parking alone for me is not worth coming out to this place. The roads in the surrounding area are super rough and bumpy (my poor tires), and the area outside the parking lot is kinda sketch, so I felt safer parking in the restaurant's super cramped parking lot. To be upfront, the food was honestly mid. There's better Mexican food elsewhere in better locations. When I tried to leave the parking lot, if it wasn't for a kind stranger helping guide me get out of there (he said that he had helped others in my scenario in this place), I probably would have hit something or damaged my car. Absolutely not going to come back.

    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.

    Live music Wednesdays !

    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.

    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.

    Chicken taquitos!

    "Friendly people, Rustic Setting, Silver Trailer" When I drove by, I was concerned about a safe place to park my car. To my delight, I discovered they have a secure parking lot as part of the property. In fact, you can keep an eye on your car right while you're enjoying your beer. They have lots of outside tables in a rustic setting. There's a large canopy, so there's plenty of shade. Be sure to check out that huge trailer parked nearby. It's like something out of "I love lucy." I'm pretty sure they're going to have big beer parties in that trailer soon. They have a good menu with both light and bigger dishes. Today, I ordered a light meal, the chicken taquitos. Just what the doctor ordered! Of course, I had to have beer to go with it, and I had two pints of the Czech Lager. So overall a very good visit. One minor nit: Please make sure there is soap in the restrooms. It might seem like a minor thing but it's important, as well as a safety code requirement.

    Amazing neighborhood bar/restaurant. Rare large outdoor seating in this area which is family and dog friendly. Also has a tent for shade for those sunny days. Love the beer selection and food. Definitely a favorite of ours!

    Getting some tacos to-go. Been wanting to come here forever! I'll have to stay and have a drink next time.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Degrees Plato

    $10 is too spendy for wine. Is there an inexpensive house wine?

    there wine seems limited (like a white, a red, a rose) and in the $9-10 range. by the bottle, you might find these for $15-20 retail so it's probably the right pricing with it on tap.… 

    Is there outdoor seating & dogs allowed?

    Yes, there is out door seating with new tent coverings that arrived this week. This is a very dog friendly place

    What are the hours?

    They've got modified hours until the 1st when they go live.

    Secure Bicycle parking available?

    New Bike Rack installed!!!

I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.

I've come during the week and on the weekend. It doesn't matter which time I've come it's been GREAT! Today I came on a Sunday and they actually have a Sunday brunch where they have a live DJ they play music. They have shots going around it's fun and if you're going out with the family like I did today, you can sit in the upper area that's away from everyone else having the brunch fun. It was still fine even though we brought the kids and sat in the upper area. We could still hear the music and enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this place. It's a shame that I live so far away in Tracy that I only get to come once in a while because if I lived closer, I would come every weekend.!!! The desserts are so good!!!

They had gone to their original location in Livermore in the past and were surprised to have found it moved. We had very friendly service and excellent cocktails. If you want to get a Boilermaker, they can get it for you (off of HH) - friend asked what types of whiskey they had and our server pulled out a whole BOOK! Cocktails were all tasty and quite complex. We all really enjoyed them: Brat summer, Frose (they only had one slushie ready - and it was boozy!), Peach Don't Kill My Vibe, and She's Gone Green. I like that they only had low ABV cocktails and mocktails, although your choices are limited to 1 in each category if you can't have grapefruit for medical reasons. We were tempted by the food but were still full from brunch - I have a feeling that we'll be back for those Duck Fat fries!

Got lucky and parked two blocks away. 10 of their beers on tap; the rest are guest taps. So of course, I had to try their $3 signature Lager - Too light for me, basically you get what you pay for. Next... Pale Ale - $7, now that's more like it! No IPA today, so I had to settle. My daughter got the Yard Bird, Strawberry Lemonade Beer. Suits her. Ready for my 3rd beer, when my daughter said she wanted to go home and party some more?!?! So I abided. Lovely's restaurant is also here on the premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp review. Ambiance - Cool space. Lots of semi private spaces that you can rent. See pictures or their website. Very kid and dog friendly! Unisex restrooms with outside sinks, thank you! NO parking! So bad on a Saturday evening that we almost did not come. Open 6 days a week - see picture or their website. Closed on Mondays. Service - Counters service. For both the bar and Lovely's. The outdoor bar has WAY faster service than the inside bar, just an FYI. Price - Affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Just left South Lake Tahoe and paid $9 - $10 + tip a beer there, but you know that because you are following. Owner Comment - Congrats to the building since 1919.

When I went to close out my tab at the bar, the staff member who came over to help me gave me the dirtiest, impatient, pissed-off look that I've ever received in my life. It was as if I had kicked his dog and personally insulted him, his family and his entire generational line. When he gave me the payment device, he must have accidentally navigated away from correct screen because I didn't have any options to close out my tab (i.e. there was no tip screen, or place to request a receipt). I handed the device back to him and before I could point out the issue, he snatched the device away and rushed off. Knowing something was wrong, I waited at the counter for a few minutes for him to return. I raised the billing issue and his curt response was "you must have waited too long and the screen disappeared -- you're fine". I returned to my table knowing that something was off, but left with my friends since they needed to head out to a dinner reservation. After we had said our goodbyes to our friends outside the brewery, I shared the strange interaction I had closing out my tab with my wife, and as a precaution, she recommended that we head back to the brewery to try to close out the tab again, just in case something was overlooked. I thought this was a good idea, but this time, asked my wife to try to close out my tab, as I didn't want to experience the wrath of the impatient staff member again. To absolutely nobody's surprise, the tab was not closed out! This staff member is by far, the rudest individual that I've encountered in the service industry and should reconsider their employment if they hate customer interactions this much. Truly appalled by my experience and won't be coming back anytime soon. If management wants to investigate the issue further, the tab was opened at the outside bar at 8/14/26 4:23 PM, check #35, and was transacted on by three separate staff members: 1) first person who opened the tab was friendly 2) second person who added on the second round of drinks was the same rude individual who didn't correctly close out my tab later in the evening, and 3) the third staff member was the one who finally properly closed out the tab with my wife at 7:11 PM.
