Really tasty food, good vibe, lively neighborhood

In fact, there are 12 vegetarian and 3 vegan items on the menu, despite what some reviewers have written. Some of the veg items can be made vegan. I ate and liked very much two of the three vegan dishes: the veggie burger, which is NOT a Beyond Burger (I don't enjoy faux beef) but a flavorful mashup of carrot, zucchini, squash, broccoli and mushroom topped with lettuce, tomato and onion on a vegan roll with cashew chipotle sauce; and a side for the table of a generous serving of plantain chips with guac, which were just as tasty as the burger. There's also vegan balsamic roasted vegetables — carrot, butternut squash, red onion, potato and Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze — which I want to try next time. Beer selection is excellent. Service is excellent. Ambience is excellent. What more can I say?

Pros: Delicious vegan choices, Great service, Fun atmosphere

One vegan item on the menu

On offer is a vegan burger. On the upside it is home made, and it does not come with cheese, as another review suggested. Comes with chipotle cashew mayo. Service is lovely and the place has good vibes. Historical building gets extra star.

Not sure why this place is on Happy Cow

I’m not sure why this place is listed on Happy Cow. Their vegan options are limited to a salad and a veggie burger, which is served with cheese.

Veggie burger options

Veggie burger with spiralized veggies (carrots, zucchini, etc) on menu, and on a Sunday in August, grain based veggie burger offered as a special. Spiralized veggie burger had a lot of bun, but seemed healthy. Also got the mac and cheese, to make sure I wasn’t too healthy. Big cocktail list.
