Yummy vegan bar food

The vegan options at Root Down never disappoint. From nachos to cauliflower wings to pizza, everything is always delicious. If you're in Phoenixville head to Root Down.

Buffalo Wing Bites ♡

Love their cauliflower buffalo wing bites so much. Delicious !!!!! Love Cassidy the waitress but the other waitress was a little rude when asking for help with the iPad to pay.

Cons: Service paying

Good Beer and Tasty Options

Root Down offers multiple vegan options and delicious beer in the quaint Phoenixville. We ordered the Caesar salad, Vegan Loaded Nachos, and the white pizza. We wanted vegan chicken on the Caesar salad, but they were out. They were out of a lot of the vegan options. We visited around the holidays, so maybe resources were low. Everything was great. The pizza was phenomenal, buttery with a nice punch of garlic. The cheese crisped instead of melted. I'd recommend changing to a meltable cheese.

Vegan Blanco Pizza is delicious, Deserving of 5 Stars

Deserving of 5 Stars but marking as 4 because of happy cow's system.

They have a ton of options here even vegan chicken, and substituting vegan cheese on quite a few options. I had the vegan blanco pizza and it was extremely tasty, the only Pizza I have had I think I might like better is 20th st. in Philly but they are a 100% vegan pizza place so it is hard to compare, but holy cow, for just a brewery that was some good vegan pizza.

Pros: Vegan Blanco Pizza is tasty, Friendly Staff

So many options!

Great place, funky vibe, solid food options for vegans and non-vegans alike.
I shared the vegan nachos (non-vegans liked them too) and had the vegan chicken Caesar wrap, which was really good.
Looking forward to trying the other vegan options!

Pros: Food, Friendly servers , Fun atmosphere

Cons: What’s up with the graffiti in the bathroom?

3.5 stars for now…

I love that Root Down has a lot of vegan options on the menu. I tried their vegan cheesesteak and it was decent, but nothing amazing. Their potato wedges were great! I also liked the atmosphere and service. While the vegan cheesesteak wasn’t the best, I do plan on coming back to try some of the other vegan options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Neat atmosphere

Variety!

While the queso blanco pizza (pictured) wasn’t the best, nor was the service (dude at the bar was kinda rude and abrasive towards me from the jump when I requested the bill be split when paying, as I did from the start when we ordered) the rest of the staff was GREAT and I always love going there during the Punk Rock Flea Market. It’s so cool that they do have such a big vegan menu & I plan to try the other options in the future. I did have the big pretzel with the vegan cheese and that was SO good. Reminded me of the pretzels at the mall back in the day.

Skilled in the Vegan Ways

We have never had a bad vegan meal here. It's a FABULOUS brewery in a funky town. Every Wednesday they have 3 "Special" Vegan options in addition to the regular vegan offerings on the menu. This one was AMAZING. Try it out. You won't be disappointed (food or beer)

Cool spot

Awesome atmosphere and beer. Vegan vibes on Wednesday - three vegan dishes that are not normally on their menu. Regular menu has some delicious vegan foods, or foods that can be made vegan.

A great place to grab a bite

Love this place because both my partner and I can go somewhere together and not have to worry about finding something on the menu for me.

Their vegan options change pretty frequently, so you're not stuck eating the same 5 things over and over. This vegan chicken sandwich is so good, but its super spicy. Havent had a bad meal yet from them

Pros: Tons of seating

Vegan n Vibes Wednesdays!

If you follow Root Down Brewing on Facebook they post their special vegan menu every Wednesday. A weekly event at the pub is “vegan vibes” Wednesday. Chef Guy has never disappointed. He creates delicious vegan food. I don’t even drink and come here for the food it’s delicious. I highly recommend since they throw in some live music as well at 6:30.

Nice vegan selection

Their brew-pub has a pretty good selection of vegan menu items which are clearly labeled. They also have a nice beer selection.
Side note: Their Biergarten down the street serves food from another place they are attached to (Uncle B’s Bar B Q) but they also has vegan options (shockingly) like bbq jackfruit which was pretty good!

Great Vegan selection

Amazing vegan nachos, cauliflower bites, hummus, burrito, and pita with falafel. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes the quality is inconsistent. Once our nachos were all crumbs, and another time the hummus was almost too salty to eat. Other than that, super yummy

Pros: Lots of Vegan options

Sooo good

I was very surprised with the amount of vegan options offered. We had the spicy cauliflower which was so good. Wanted the pretzels but they were out. So we opted for both types of fries. Then for the entree we got the tacos. A lot of food for the price. Plus a great vibe. Wide open space.

Pretty substantial list of vegan options

I was pretty impressed with the number of vegan options at this brewing company. I ordered the sriracha cauliflower and it was doused in the hot sauce! Definitely don't order it unless you like heat! We also had a veggie burger which was quite tasty.

Pros: Fun, social location, Variety of options

Cons: A little noisy with kids running around
