I sooooo miss Veganopolis :(

Their band was excellent. Not really punk though. One of their videos is on YT . Fear and Fascination. Also saw their cookbook on Amazon..named after this place.

I recall seeing these 2 in the late 1980's doing a veg burger demo downtown Chicago. They were still fun and bright people. Hi you guys!

I worked there and they were very good owners and they had a huge following for 4 years of people who loved the place.

They did experience weird of resistance from Portland business owners on a regular.

I did get a ton of backstage passes to shows by the many bands on tour that used it as a sort of canteen. Weezer, The Roots , Little Richard and crew, Antony, The Kills, Racontuers, Amos Lee, and on. Bands always dining there. Loved working there for that perc

@lgn666 The owners are losers in life. Before they turned into these pretentious vegan proprietors, they were both in a failed punk band in the 80's. Now their little vegan cafe has closed. What's next for George and David? A dog walking service??

[SUPERDOOPERTUBER]

Believe it or not, you wouldn't believe what the 2 owners looked like in 1984 when they made their own new wave music video! Check out Stations - Fear and Fascination on You Tube. Same 2 owners, but in full goth makeup!

[GypsiGrrl]

does anyone know why they closed? I'm so bummed

[r3n33k3nn3dy]

I love Veganopolis! I am beyond sad that they're leaving. Even worse I am upset that they could not get the support that they needed to keep themselves safe and their place running. Veganopolis will be greatly missed!!

I'm so glad they're going, I hate this restaurant. Worst service ever.
