Meat-focused eatery with craft brews, bourbons, and beer garden


























"This selection of meats is enough to make any Vegetarian or Vegan reconsider. Located in the heart of downtown, these chefs are cooking up American craft meals with an emphasis on smoked and wood-grilled meats: Enormous double-cut Berkshire pork chops, smoked beef long rip, and of course, an array of decadent sausages. But, wait there’s more! Whether you're new to bourbon or not, there is no better place to start, or to continue. From the true craft cocktails, to tasting flights of more than 60 different bottles – they’re sure to have something for everyone. There’s also plenty of great local and international beer, plus an outdoor beer garden to top it off." - Spyder Trap

"Planned in an adjoining space, the Char Bar is a sister component slated to open in the coming weeks; expect a cocktail menu with a daring edge—examples mentioned include a Scotch, banana, and coconut drink and a Rye Tai with orgeat and curacao—and a separate food menu." - Justine Jones

"Get a sneak peek at the new iteration of the Butcher & the Boar prior to its January opening with a holiday meal kit that includes a whole long rib with tabasco molasses and tortilla slaw, buffalo roasted Brussels sprouts, cornbread with miso honey, cheese grits, roasted sweet potato, and a muffuletta salad. Meal kits serve four and cost $195. Order online for curbside pickup at the restaurant on December 23." - Stacy Brooks

"Before this project, Begnaud was most recently helming the kitchen at Butcher and the Boar, a downtown destination known for bourbon and ample meat portions that closed during the pandemic after an eight-year run." - Tierney Plumb
