The Best Vegan and Veggie Burgers in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Black Water Bar, now located on NE Sandy, is an old-school punk-metal-hardcore music venue that built its reputation as an all-ages venue with knockout vegan bar food. Although the menu features many snacks, like pierogies with sour cream and chili cheese fries, the veggie burgers remain Black Water’s standout. The “meaty” black bean, seitan, and beet burger comes in several variations, like the Western with Thrilling Foods bacon and crispy fried onions or the Scorpion with melty Chao cheese and grilled jalapenos. Recent specials include the John Prineapple burger with grilled pineapple, slaw, toasted sesame seeds, and miso aioli. Diners can wash down a burger and heaping side of tots with cocktails that have names like Bloody Moses and Dirty Martin. Burger specials are announced regularly on Instagram." - Anastasia Sloan
