Readers: Bid Farewell to Otherside Cafe
The popular vegan cafe/beer bar closed over the weekend. What's your Otherside memory?
It's gone, but hopefully not forgotten.
The Otherside Cafe closed it's doors for good on Saturday, with a final tweet: Last Day. Beer and chili anyone?
The vegan cafe and beer bar was originally slated to close in December to make way for the furniture chain Room & Board, but got a reprieve when the deal fell through.
It seemed they were in the clear.
But then the Island Hopper closed in March, and the Otherside Cafe announced their days were numbered. The restaurant is looking for a new location, but there's no word on when they could reopen.
We're hoping it's sooner rather than later. In the meantime, some good times were had at the hip cafe, and we want to hear them. What's your best Other Side Cafe memory? Share it in the comments!
Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

I'll miss the big staircase and the lush upstairs seating. What I won't miss is some of the music I've heard there -- there were multiple times where I couldn't hear my conversation over loud punk and death metal, at normal mealtimes. But that was years ago -- the last time I was there, it wasn't so loud. Overall, I'm sad to see it go. It was a really distinctive place, and they had great nachos.
