6 The Vegan Review	Posted on: Wednesday, July 29, 2009
	Review: The Other Side has great, amicable servers. The joint is really colorful and original with a lot of local art and music. They're really into the alternative scene. You'll meet a lot of interesting people there, for sure. Their raw food (the spicy lettuce wraps in particular) is amazing. The mock chicken salad and fruit salad with chocolate mousse was really good. And who can forget the delicious ANZAC cookie, which contains oatmeal, walnuts, and coconut. By far the best vegan cookie I've tasted yet. I definitely have plans to go back.   Pros: friendly staff * excellent food * Cons: pricey * noisy *

"Awesome hangout, awesome food"   My Rating

	Review: This place is perfect for twenty-somethings and those young at heart looking for fantastic food in a great atmosphere. My first experience there was when I was still a meat-eater, and I loved the food, the beer selection, and the laid-back experience. Yes, it's loud - it's a bar/cafe. IMO, it's a really great place to go with friends or with a date if you're in the mood for something fun and casual. When I decided to go Vegan, the Other Side was at the top of my list for places to eat out - they are super Veg-friendly, and everything (at least everything I've had, and I've definitely had my run of the menu..) is delicious and prepared to order. Note: It's a perfect setting to introduce your omnivorous friends to the glories of veg-eating. It's a cool, totally unassuming place, and the experience proves that vegan food is not only normal, it can be downright stellar.   Pros: great, varied food * yummy beer selection! * laid-back, fun atmosphere Cons: smokers outside * *

"Great place to go with anyone! Should be 5 stars!"   My Rating

	Review: This place had so many vegan options and plenty of them were raw too! Almost anything could be made vegan. I had the beet and carrot raw chips with raw macadamia nut spread and it was DELICIOUS. Honestly, I would definitely go back to this place and the staff was friendly as well. Great selection of teas like oolong, and they even have vegan BLT's! Good selection of vegan desserts too, so this is truly one stop shopping!   Pros: delicious food * creative selection * lots of raw and vegan! Cons: * *

"Flexible late night option"   My Rating
27 feorag	Posted on: Friday, February 20, 2009
	Review: The Other Side is basically a loud rock bar with good, solid bar food including vegetarian, vegan and raw options. As far as I can tell, food is served until about 1am. It's located just over the road from the entrance to the Hynes T station. I decided to be Naughty, and had the black bean burrito, which contains cheese. I'm used to these things being made up in advance, especially in bars, and I didn't expect that it would be made to order. It would easily be made vegan, so next time I will ask them to do so, assuming they can hear my request. My partner, not being veggie, went for an omelette, which he decreed had been cooked to perfection and done properly - he's fussy about his omelettes and doesn't get them too often due to living with me. I also had my second dessert of the trip - a vegan chocolate mint cake - and too much beer, making me a happy bunny indeed. My partner, intrigued, tried the peanut butter and banana smoothie but found it too thick to drink easily. I think that's what he said, anyway.   Pros: food made to order * fantastic beer range * vegan cake Cons: loud * sorry, I didn't catch that * I said LOUD!

"Great Summer Hangout"   My Rating
1 capybara	Posted on: Friday, November 28, 2008
	Review: This place is part juice bar, part gourmet health fare, and part bar. It is great after a day of shopping on newbury to cross the street from the hectic shop atmosphere to retreat to a relaxed, creative hang out. The food is delicious and kind of like upscale healthy pub food. Beer is fresh and wait staff is friendly but quick.   Pros: Atmosphere/Patio * Healthy Comfort Food * Beer Cons: Dark Inside * Lingering Customers * Quality Slightly Unpredictable

"Probably won't go back"   My Rating

	Review: The food was pretty good, but the restaurant was dirty. They also allowed smoking outside so unless you don't mind smoke in your face, I suggest you sit inside. They offer raw food, which was a bonus.   Pros: Raw food options * * Cons: Smokers outside * Dirty *
