Vegan Options Near Barclays Center

We always like to get something to eat before or after the game as part of our gameday experience. That always involves researching good vegan-friendly spots close to the arena. We did that for the Barclays Center and are sharing what we found with you.

This isn’t a comprehensive list by any means, just a couple of restaurants that caught our attention.

The VSPOT

156 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

There is an amazing amount of choices to grab vegan food close to the arena, so why did we choose The VSPOT?

It really came down to its proximity to Barclays Center (less than a 10 minute walk down 5th St), its review rating (a 4.4 with over 1000 reviews) and finally its menu.

You can order anything from empanadas to ‘chicken’ parm and people seem to love all of it. Definitely worth a look if you’re taking in a Nets game.

Next Level Burger Brooklyn

292 Ashland Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11217

A 100% Plant-Based Burger joint? Yep. That’s what you get when you visit a Next Level Burger. Located inside Whole Foods about two blocks from the arena, Next Level Burger serves up over a dozen really creative and amazing looking burgers.

If you get a chance to check out Next Level Burger, don’t forget about the shakes and sweet potato fries too!
