While the Vegas Strip has its own time and place, I definitely am more of a fan of Fremont Street and the area surrounding it, commonly referred to as downtown Las Vegas. Full of neon signs oozing kitschy Old Vegas charm and jaw-dropping street art, Fremont Street is the beating heart of Las Vegas’s arts scene.
It’s easy to lose track of time wandering here- good thing that there’s plenty of awesome places to eat vegan on Fremont Street!

Update as of 2026: This article used to have 6 restaurants on Fremont Street, 3 of which have since closed. Remember to go support your local vegan restaurants—it’s a TOUGH environment for small business owners!
Evel Pie
508 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101
Find yourself on Fremont Street at 3 am, with an awful case of the munchies? Head on over to this Evel Knievel-themed pizza joint, where they are happy to craft you up a slice of vegan pie.
Evel Pie offers one specialty slice of vegan pizza every day. When we went the topping du jour were olives, red onions, and peppers.
While my favorite thing about this place (besides the obviously awesome kitschy decor) is the availability of pizza on a slice by slice basis, you can also create your own 20-inch pizza with fixings like serrano chilies, pineapple, and habanero.
My husband and I actually went to Evel Pie right after our Vegas wedding (read more about our shindig here) and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to end our lowkey and slightly offbeat wedding festivities. We happily chatted with our friendly tablemates, sipped on local brews from the restaurant’s impressive tap list; and of course, nommed down on a slice.
Atomic Liquors
917 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101
I love a place with history and Atomic Liquors is filthy with it. Not only is it the oldest freestanding bar in Vegas (serving up drinks since 1952), it was named after its clientele’s habit of climbing to the roof to watch the nearby testing of atomic bomb blasts and was frequented by celebrities in the Rat Pack heyday, from Barbara Streisand to Old Blue Eyes himself.
While retaining its retro charm, nowadays, the bar feels more like a hip cocktail lounge for locals, boasting a huge open air patio and unique libations, like the smoky goodness Garden Mistress (a concoction of mezcal, Ancho Reyes chili liqueur, grapefruit juice, house-made cilantro syrup, and lime).
If you’re feeling a bit peckish, you can order something light to munch on, like a roasted pepper, tomato, and olive plate or, my old standard, a side of fries. Alternatively, inside the bar, you can grab a more hearty dinner, like the braised mushroom tamale, topped with a pumpkin seed pesto, or the BBQ-spice rubbed cauliflower (ask for no grits, sub with sauteed mushrooms and herbs).
On weekend mornings, swing by for brunch and pick up a plate of Brussels Sprout Hash, with shaved Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and celery root on a thick slice of grilled toast (ask for the dish to be cooked with oil, instead of butter); of course, Atomic Liquors has a whole host of fun breakfast cocktails, like a the Summer Camp Old Fashioned, featuring Dickel No. 8, Amaro di Angostura, smoked blackberry syrup, and grapefruit juice.
Note that the kitchen only serves food Wednesday through Sunday and has more limited hours than the bar itself, but, even without the food offerings, this joint is 100% worth taking in a perfectly-crafted cocktail or two and soaking up some Vegas history.
Bronze Cafe
124 S 6th St, Las Vegas, NV
Note: As of 2021, the Fremont location of Bronze Cafe is permanently closed, but the Sumerlin location (located at 2380 N Buffalo Dr Suite 110, Las Vegas, NV 89128) remains open. Go get you some!
Bronze Cafe dishes up a TON of vegan options with its variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it the perfect stop for lunch or a casual, healthy(ish) dinner.
Bronze Cafe serves up creative takes on standard lunch fare, with dishes like the Whoop Whoop sandwich, made from oven-roasted tofurky, pepperoni, mixed greens, tomato, red onion, basil aioli, and oregano vinaigrette, or The Guac & Mole sandwich, featuring avocado, mole sauce, alfalfa sprouts, shredded carrots, and cucumber, smothered with ranch dressing and lemon vinaigrette.
You can polish off your meal with one of their many housemade vegan baked goods, which sound like they were dreamed up by your closest stoner buddy friend- think Fruity Pebble Rice Krispie treats or a cookie-brownie hybrid.
When my husband, Justin, and I went here recently, the menu was a bit different, with breakfast and brunch offerings available as well. Our food was PHENOMENAL (chicken and beignets all day!) and I cannot WAIT to go back to try out the rest of the food.
I think on my next trip to Vegas, I’m going to try to find some great food choices on the Strip itself- any recommendations or thoughts? It seems like the Vegas vegan scene is growing fast and furious so I’d love to hear your thoughts- let me know in the comments below!
