What a Great craft brewery in the city of Cleveland. They have been around for quite a while now.They have a large selection of their own beers on tap. Many more than your average Cleveland craft brewery. Pretty impressive. Anything from your sours to your IPAs to your stouts and even barley wine. They also have a food menu that is reasonably priced.The facility itself is very clean. Will taking care of.The staff know their beer inside and out. If there's something you're looking for or have a certain taste they will recommend it.The bar is also dog friendly. They have a nice size patio to enjoy during the warmer weather.Parking can be a bit of a pain. There is street parking and also paid parking very close to the brewery. Definitely worth a visit.

I used to love this place. Great staff, great beer, dog friendly environment. But now I just like this place. They used to have a fill your growler thing on Friday that was a nice start to the weekend. But pandemic came and it was fill only their growler, and then it was jacked up prices. Cool decor with beer barrel tables etc. But now I feel they have me over a barrel. Why do businesses take something away from you and think you will remain a happy and loyal customer? I work in a public place where out of town visitors ask me a good place to go. I never tell them about platform anymore.

Super cool atmosphere! Indoor & outdoor area... And the bartender, John, was SUPER NICE! ?✨?

Spacious indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for hanging out to watch a game or just chilling with friends. I came on arguably the last weekend of nice weather of the year in late October to enjoy some time outdoors with friends. We sat outside on the back patio and sipped on local beers and Blackberry Krush sours while watching the Browns game. It was a lively scene that day with people bringing their dogs and playing Jumbo Jenga. Platform made everything convenient by allowing you to either order directly from the bar or via the QR code at each table. Service was friendly and quick. Platform is an easygoing local neighborhood spot and I look forward to coming back again soon!

Platform has a great vibe. Very casual spot with big enough outdoor seating area with some games to keep your gang busy. Food menu is limited, mostly flatbreads. Plenty of beers to choose from with good staff and a good set up.

Erin is the best bar tender & the patio is a oasis in the middle of the city. Follow up your beer of choice with a hap water…so good. Dog friendly patio.

Ended up here after a show I went to in Cleveland over the weekend and wow. This was the only place I went that I was actually impressed by. I highly recommend stopping in, would definitely return if I were in the city.

Super cool staff and knowledgeable about their product. Good huge selection of beers on tap. Slightly overwhelming when you know you can't try them all! But great that they have popular styles along with traditional.

So much more than your average taproom. Platform Beer specializes in collaborating with and giving a "platform" for homebrews, and with 30+ beers on tap, has both a wide variety in style of beer and features a large number of interesting/unique flavor combinations you won't find anywhere else. Came with my brother who is local and has been here many times before, so I took his advice to get a flight and try multiple options instead of a single pour. Totally recommend only getting flights here because it showcases the beauty of the many unique & interesting beers they have on tap. (Mine had everything from a mango mimosa to a s'mores sweet potato beer to a lime seltzer! Little bit of everything for everyone here!) Dog friendly inside and outside with a beautiful patio and spacious seating throughout, this is a great place to hang out with a large group or just a friend. I even saw a solo diner here -- such a chill atmosphere, it's inviting of whatever you are in the mood for. We came on a Monday night when trivia was happening, which seemed fun. Also a great place to bring a board game and enjoy, which is how we spent our evening. The food is not to be missed. We got the giant pretzel which came out so piping hot I had to wait a few minutes to touch it, but then devoured the perfect, carby bites dunked in beer cheese. If you particularly like something you've tried, Platform sells canned 4 packs of a selection of what's currently popular on tap. But be warned - my brother says that the beer may not be made again, so snag it while you can! A lot of rarities here. One-of-a-kind taproom and I will definitely be back.
Great service, clean bathroom, awesome food and beer. Best vegan nachos I've ever had.

Platform may be a great place, but it just wasn’t my vibe. Although its wide-open patio is great, it just has a weird, uncomfortable vibe. The only thing I liked was they had flights of beer. Other than that, probably no reason for me to attend again. Probably nothing they can do to make it more comfortable unless they remodel. Seem like a place to go to get hammered.Please give thumbs up if you find review helpful.

We stopped here on our first day in Cleveland - arriving for their 8th anniversary celebration. My husband and I each won prizes - a glass for him and t-shirt for me. The 8 ball seltzer was amazing! We also had food (pretzel and flatbread) - but I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. The pretzel and cheese was very tasty!

Great atmosphere and even better beer. Love their collection of sours as well as IPAs. Hard to go wrong with any choice.
Jessica S.
Friendly service and such a large selection of their own beers. I have always enjoyed the amount of different sours on tap Bonus if you love dogs you may just get to visit with some.
