With a new executive chef in the kitchen, there's a new direction with this menu and it's to "highlight the playful and social aspects of enjoying a night out with friends by providing vibrant, fun drinks and a variety of plates that can be shared."
“Above all, we really want this menu to be a celebration of what Playground is all about — having fun with friends,” said David Bishow, executive chef at Playground. “Whether you stop in early for lunch or Happy Hour, eat dinner before the party starts, or share a plate with friends while dancing that night away, our kitchen and bar are ready to provide the party fuel at Playground.”
The menu is available now, as a matter of fact, and the kitchen is open until 10 p.m. Happy Hour is currently available from 4 - 7 p.m. on Wednesday - Friday and includes $2 off all drinks, $2 off dips, and $4 off all other food.
Now, let's take a scroll through some pretty photos.
