A couple weeks ago, I joined the bloke and a few of his work colleagues after work to visit Platform in Shoreditch. Platform is a gaming experience venue that allows visitors to enjoy sessions of games with food and themed cocktails. They also have bottomless brunch and board games, arcades, and vintage games available to play. This is a great venue for socialising with work colleagues or team events.
As I had worked earlier in the day myself, I hadn't had any lunch or dinner by the time I got to Shoreditch, so I was famished. The pizza tasted delicious, and I had a couple of cocktails to wash it down with. We opted on playing Yoshi's Island, but we are spoiled for choice on multi-player games.
The cocktails are all named according to gaming themes with "Bloody Mario", "Goldstar Martini", "The Boss", "The Devil's Cartel", and others. I had "Rainbow Road", which was a layered colourful rainbow cocktail served with a slice of candy on top. The "Goldstar Martini" was also good, and I tried the "Ice Queen" and "Crystal Coconut" too. My favourites were "Crystal Coconut" and "Rainbow Road". Of course, there are beer and wine options for those who do not wish to have a fancy cocktail.
Ninty minutes went quickly, and we had just finished the game on time.
Only four people can play a game in a session, but not everyone wanted to play, so do bear in mind to possibly book additional areas for anyone who wishes to play if there's more than four.
Overall, it was a fun evening and is a good after-work social event.
