Located in the heart of Downtown Bay View, The Vanguard pays homage to Milwaukee’s classic corner bar with its laid back, casual atmosphere, locally crafted beers, and house-made sausage—some of which happens to be vegan. Traditionalists should opt for a sausage from the classics menu, which includes vegan chorizo, vegan Italian sausage, and vegan brats. For those with a more adventurous palate, we suggest trying one of the styled sausages, such as the Thai Breaker—a vegan pork sausage blended with lemongrass, ginger, and cilantro herbs and topped with peanut sauce, carrot, lettuce, and crunchy bits. Pair with a Good City Pilsner.

Tandoor is a cozy neighborhood spot that specializes in Indian curries, many of which are vegan or can be made vegan upon request. Start with a plate of vegetable samosas, along with a fresh mango juice. For the entree, dig into one of the veggie options, such as the Chana Masala made with garbanzo beans in a blend of tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and spices. The Baingan Bharta curry is an excellent choice and features eggplant sautéed with onions, garlic, ginger, and spices. Be sure to request that the curries be made with coconut milk, since some are made with cream.
