Beer only no liquor here. But excellent service and a peaceful atmosphere. If you're not into heavy drinking and just need a place to sit down and relax it's a very kind place to go.
A good place
Its been a long time establishment in the community catering to its devoted clientele, especially to its hispanic and LGBTQ community. As recently as last Friday night, the Silver Platter has prevailed in its effort to provide an outlet of entertainment and appreciation for the community that it supports. They've upgraded their environment and at one time also provided valet parking, however, with the current stringent limited parking availability, it's been difficult to accommodate and support this historic bar; very much worth a visit though. With the support of those who know this bar well, they should be commended to continue to support a mainstay of L.A. It's been a while since I posted the above review. It's January 31, 2026. The Silver Platter, subject to being evicted and demolished should definitely be relocated. Its historic value and undeniably a dive bar, provides an ambiance that is unique to its community. Those that can't appreciate the need and value of this establishment in serving the community are too quick to criticize its patrons and deficiencies. This place is a haven to many. It exists to enjoy a cold beer, enjoy the music, people watch and have some fun. We should do what we can to keep the Silver Platter thriving!
Very good for me
It is a cool place to stop by and have a quick beer. The 4 star is because they have a limited selection of beers and no draft beers ... I don't blame them for the parking situation because it's very close to DTLA and parking is scarce... Awesome bar tenders by the way ...
