Indy’s Plat 99 By Maralyn D. Hill Plat 99 Truffle Popcorn M y experience with cocktail lounges is generally limited to when I travel and have the opportunity to check out well known, historic, or new establishments. Indianapolis was not different. Norm and I had just finished a gondola ride and were scheduled to have pre-dinner drinks at Plat 99 before dinner at Cerulean. We could have spent the entire night at Plat 99. Its design alone was breathtaking, with contemporary architecture and blown glass chandeliers welcoming you into a lively bar and Corpse Reviver 2 & Sloe Gin Fizz lounge area with an outside patio. If desired, you could just eat at Plat 99. Its menu focuses on local, organic and sustainable ingredients. Plat’s dishes are designed to be shared, but we did not plan to order any, as we knew we were dining shortl 丁!
