Varsity Bar

I went to Varsity Bar for dinner with my friend as we were attending an event at the University of WA, and my initial reaction was surprise at the bar being inside a shopping centre! It had very much the atmosphere of an American college bar, which isn't particularly my thing, but really we were there for the food!

We ordered the chilli bean fries made vegan with adding vegan cheese, and the veggie nachos made vegan, also adding vegan cheese. I felt like it was quite expensive and definitely not at student prices (as had been advertised) but that being said the portions were massive, and I did really enjoy the meal!

Also on the menu which looked promising was the mushroom pizza, as well as the burgers and possible vegan milkshake!! However, I probably won't go back very soon when there are so many other great vegan options in the CBD nowadays and the bar can get quite noisy.

This American college-themed bar in Nedlands now has vegan options clearly marked on their menu. The vegan options include three vegetarian pizzas that can be made with vegan cheese, vegetarian nachos and chilli bean fries, beer-battered chips, deep fried pickles, and a couple of salads. They also list which of their sauces are vegan.

The staff were really friendly and were keen for feedback on the vegan options as they were new to the menu.

Can get busy as it's a bar quite close to the University of Western Australia, so you may want to choose your times accordingly.
