This, my husbands boss did this stuff, he decline. He's too old to be playing with younger co-workers and going out drinking.
Why so grouchy? I’m past the stage where I would be interested in this, but young adults DO socialize with each other at work. Just decline.

Rather than ask the restaurant, why not ask the vegan if there are places she's found that are reliable bets for vegans.

I work for a major firm (F500) and whenever there is catering, it always includes salad and raw vegs and dip and hummus plus sandwiches or anything else. Seems like the standard corporate catering does always have at least one thing that is vegan, such as the vegetables and hummus. Beyond that I don't see why it's the company's responsibility to cater to the dietary whims of its employees. It's the employee themselves who have to adjust, either bring their own food or not eat what is on offer.

LOL this is the real problem here. The Vegan (or the old guy, or the new mom, or the old lady) should not have to give up free time to go throw AXES and TEAM build! That eliminates the food problem completely!

I know an vegetarian friend can always find something to order at any restaurants with us. I am confused with vegan vs vegetarian.
I think a few vegan things are pretty standard now, but I see Top Golf doesn't have vegan options and Dave and Buster's doesn't either. Pinstripes has vegan stuff. Personally I am not vegan and wouldn't expect to make a meal out of these places. I'd just have a drink or two. Paint and Sup isn't a meal thing so no worries there. They're also pretty accommodating to bringing snacks so just have someone bring a fruit tray and a vegan chip and dip or something. If you want to be accommodating ask your colleague what they like to snack on or observe and have some in a basket. If you're organizing a corporate event you should be able to tell the venue you have a vegan and they can either choose to accommodate by altering their menu or they will allow you to bring some stuff in. But don't go all out unless you know the vegan person wants a meal brought in. For restaurants you should absolutely choose one with vegan and vegetarian options, always for work stuff. Kosher and Halal if that applies, too.
Top Golf on their website says that they have vegetarian/vegan or items that can be made vegan.
Dave and Busters they can do pretzels no butter, fries, flat bread no cheese, salad, pasta with tomato sauce, a few of their veggie sides.
