"Just had a pretty unprofessional and off putting experience here.My pregnant wife had a craving for some sweet potato fries, so I thought it would be a good idea to grab some to go across the street from Park Burger, then I’d have a beer at the brewery while my wife enjoyed her fries. We quickly learned that this brewery is not a brewery, but a restaurant first. The lady bartender approached us outside and said that my wife could not eat outside food there because the brewery sells food. She could sit there, didn’t have to order anything, but the only food allowed to be eaten was from the kitchen. Enforcing a policy would be fine but then she continued and said “you wouldn’t bring outside food to McDonald’s would you?” in a patronizing tone which was pretty unnecessary. So we learned that you can have food with you, you just can’t eat it. I didn’t notice any signage indicating as such, and it’s not obvious (or wasn’t to me at least) that the Gates Deli was the same business as Platt Park Brewing Co. Doesn’t matter if you order some other menu item (like a beer).Just seems like a weird hill to die on. So be warned: definitely don’t let your kids bring any ice cream from across the street, or snack on a clif bar after a hike in this brewery gotta order their food. I’ve not been to another brewery like this.The experience was off putting enough that I’ll probably not be back despite living nearby. The beer was pretty good, if expensive, so I’ll give them a star for that."
