Pint - Edit

I had a couple of pints here after some touristy stuff.
House beers are $7 and decent. Nice staff but it’s not the sort of place I would eat at.

Pint at Megans Bar and Kitchen in New York City

Nothing listed as vegan on the menu - Edit

Almost nothing on this menu is vegan (see photo). For instance, the Quinoa Burger comes on a brioche bun and aioli sauce; none of the salads are vegan, the Seitan wrap comes with mayo, etc. and *nothing* is specified as vegan.

To be sure, there is one item—a cauliflower steak—that seems to be vegan, but they clearly don’t have a separate vegan grill, so it is likely there will be cross-contamination. I asked the server, who was very friendly, about their vegan food. She got confused, and thought “gluten free” was the same as vegan. I don’t blame the server—the management evidently didn’t train their staff to understand what “vegan” means, suggesting that they cater to a different clientele.

Naturally, you can ask for substitutions and hope for the best, but the same is true for any restaurant in NYC. Also, unlike me, you might not mind that the one vegan item is cooked on the same grill as the other items. Otherwise, there are other places in the area.

Placard menu--notice, nothing listed as vegan...even the salads are not vegan. I don't see the vegetable wrap or mushroom ciabatta sandwich mentioned by other reviewer (maybe discontinued?)

Satisfied - Edit

I got the cauliflower steak and it was really really good. I didn't see the seitan wrap that the other reviewer mentioned but there was a veggie wrap and a veggie burger. I would have liked to see more protein options especially something like a seitan or beyond Burger

Pros: Lots of beers, Knowledgeable waitress, Inexpensive

Cons: Only a few options

Yummy veggie options - Edit

We walked this way for cock and bull, to find they were closed. Was sad, started walking to find somewhere else and decided to take a peek at Megan’s menu. Was suprised to find multiple vegetarian options that could easily be made vegan by removing the cheese. Cauliflower steak, seitan lettuce wraps, roasted red pepper and mushroom ciabatta sandwich! Def wanted to make sure I put it on happy cow so others know!!!
