Well......I must say, my visit to Platinum Café & Lounge was quite the experience. That description…read moremay very well be an understatement, but it was definitely an interesting time for both myself and my three girlfriends. While the venue may not have been the greatest to me, I am sure others will love it! We went to the lounge after attending a old school hip hop concert a the Santander Arena. We did a random google search and found this spot which serve food, drinks and hookah, so it was just what we were looking for. The venue is not too big, but it was clean. There is seating at the bar and also both tall pub tables and shorter tables with chairs. We opted to sit at one of the tables with chairs and were happy to find out positioned "out of the way" for the action. There was a live band playing Dominican music and they were performing their hearts out! Not my preference, but it was good live music nonetheless. As the night went on the DJ switched to hip-hop and other popular music genres. The staff was nice, but my issue is most of the staff did not speak English, so it was hard for us to order drinks and foods. Our group of four ordered a few rounds of shots, asking for three vodkas and one tequila each time and the order was incorrect every time. We actually resorted to typing in a translator app on our phones to speak to the staff. The guy providing the hookah spoke English but failed to tell us that after paying $30 for the initial hookah, it costs another $20 bucks to have the hookah relit. Of course I didn't find that out until after he had completed the action and was looking for more money. Makes we wonder if he took advantage of the situation, but I won't come to a conclusion on that. The food was typical bar food, nothing special. The shots were likely mid-shelf quality, we also shared a bucket of Coronas amongst us four. Our bill was very affordable at the end of the night, so I am glad we weren't racked over the coals. All and all, I had a fairly decent time at this lounge.

The wings are not good. We told the waitress we didn't like the wings. The police took them off and then they told us to we had to pay for them even though they were not good. I said well I'm not gonna pay for them. We tried one and we could tell how bad they were. she charged me four dollars for a bottle of water when we didn't even ask for water. You know why this place was empty is because they have no hospitality. The music is so loud you came in sync and the food is terrible and when you tell them that they try to escort you out. like whaaaat ! do not waste your time here

I remember playing at the silo and going to shows there. I haven't been to a show in Reading since the Silo days. I was pleasantly surprised that this place has been open for sometime. It's pretty clean and looks well maintained. Good sound if you aren't smack dab in the middle. Friendly staff from parking attendants to bar tenders! parking is only $10. Seemed like a good bit of parking too. My friend was kicked out a few mi the ago for doing backflips at GWAR but he didn't experience anything like that this time.

The venue must have somewhat recently been updated as my boyfriend said the layout was different then when he was last there. We went for a metal show and the doors opened promptly. The staff was nice, they did have someone checking bags, keys, pockets and doing a pat down at the door. Once inside our tickets got scanned and ids checked if we wanted to drink. We were given a wrist band for that. The bar was in the back and they did have a room off to the side that appeared to be like a snack bar. They had a smoking section out back since there was no re-entry. The sound and lights were great. Overall it was a good show and a nice venue. I'd go again. It was in the middle of Reading but not a super congested area, mostly residential.

The food is yours to grill yourself, including kabobs, cuts of steak, and plenty of butter/seasoning. The live music provided plenty of variety, and the servers were attentive. There were multiple bars serving signature cocktails as well as a healthy beer assortment. It really is a hidden gem in Berks County if you want an evening outside with close friends. A standard dinner includes choice of two meats (steak, chicken, scallops, alligator, etc), a baked potato, and a salad for under $30. You can cook and season it however you want on fairly spacious outdoor grilling stations. My only complaint, and there's not much that can be done as they abut the creek, is that the parking is limited. Customers were double and triple parking each other in the spaces.

This is literally the only dance club in Reading and since they have this monopoly on this shell of…read morea city, they don't feel the need to provide anything of quality. Plus they allow smoking, so don't wear anything too nice unless you want it to reek of second hand smoke. They do have a private lot to park in; however, it tends to fill up rather quickly. The Dj is horrible. If you're lucky, you might be able to dance to 1 of every 4-5 songs; the rest either have no beat or are way too slow to dance to. This is reflected in the fact that most of the crowd is sitting at the bar/tables provided or standing around the general dance floor area. We went on Thursday night (college night) and every single person there was at least late 20's-30s, so it's definitely an older clientele hangout. And if the guy happens to be your age, you're not in the clear yet. Just when you think you're safe, he might whip out his phone and show you pictures of his daughter and baby momma. (True story) At least there was no cover (Thursday is free with college id); that's the only positive thing to say about this experience.
