Butchr Bar

Was in town briefly and got taken to this new Aussie owned bar. Love top quality Aussie meat, so loved the concept. We ordered the Aussie and American burgers. Wow… we couldn’t decide which was nicest. Best burgers! Wine list was fantastic and the guy behind the bar was lovely. Really enjoyed our quick stop in here. But honestly, we couldn’t stop thinking about it. The food, the vibe, the hospitality - it just hit right. So before we flew out, we made the time to come back. Had to. This time we slowed down a bit and ordered the charcuterie plate. And let me just say hands down the best charcuterie I’ve ever had. You could taste the craft in every single bite. Turns out they house-make the charcuterie in-house, and it shows. Every slice on that plate we had was incredible. The giardiniera was so fresh and crispy. It wasn’t just good, it was next-level. We also ordered the lamb chops, which were completely insane, in the best way. Cooked beautifully, rested properly, and seasoned just right. Tender, juicy, with this smokey caramelisation that still makes my mouth water thinking about it. And I have to mention the bone broth. We got a cup on the side and honestly, it was so comforting and nourishing. Deep, rich flavour. You could tell it had been simmered low and slow. A perfect warm-up to everything else we tried. Honestly, you could tell there’s real pride in the food here. Every dish feels intentional. It’s that perfect balance of confident cooking and great energy. And the team, Absolute legends. The staff were warm, funny, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. Not in that forced “hospitality voice” way, just real, laid-back, and kind. We chatted with a few of them while waiting at the bar, and everyone was full of good vibes. The music was on point too. Not too loud, not too chill, just the perfect backdrop for conversation. The whole space has this cool, understated energy. You feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special. You could tell there was so much thought put into every part of the menu - from the meats to the drinks. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the feeling. Butchr Bar does both. It’s got soul, and it’s got flavour. No wonder we came back twice in one trip. Wish we had more time to work our way through the rest of the menu—but we’ll be back. Next time, it’s the tomahawk. Thanks Butchr Bar, this one’s a gem.

Great location plenty of parking. Cute inside, but the first sign of trouble was low sitting stools with no backs on them; go ahead and splurge get real tables and chairs. The music was too loud, hard to hold a conversation, even though the restaurant was half empty. Service was decent. The server was friendly. The saving grace at this place is they have a small but decent natural wine selection. The wine was very tasty across the board. The problem is the food. A $12 “fermented tomato” was an unripe green tomato with a little bit of seasoning and salt on it served whole. It had no fermented taste whatsoever and very little going on. We had it anyways, but we laughed while doing it. A couple across from us got a red tomato, but they seemed equally uninterested in it. It just sort of sat there. The Tartare was meh. It was very modestly seasoned for a Tartare and was kind of slimy because it was served near room temp. that said I like raw beef so whatever. The beet salad was OK. The use of herbs was nice. The lamb was OK a little on the gamey side, but the mint chutney served with it was pathetic. It had a heavy dose of sugar or agave that made it thoroughly unappetizing. The broccolini was sad. It had very little seasoning and was just clumsy, charred and tough. The sausage was not great. Two smaller sized sausages just sitting there naked on a plate with some mustard. OK if you’re gonna do minimalist, I expect the flavor to be marvelous. It wasn’t. The lamb sausage was particularly gamey, just kind of tasted like old meat, Not pleasant at all. Very little seasoning is the main issue. The pork sausage was slightly better but again, nothing remotely special or interesting going on. just food; really overpriced mediocre food. Maybe the worst offender was the four dollar order of bread. Our server even recommended it when we asked about it. It is from a local bakery, so we felt good about ordering it. When it arrived It was simply one slice of bread cut into six sad Little finger sized slices like you might do for a two-year-old. It was lightly toasted and had no sourdough flavor whatsoever, and it was served without butter. It was borderline insulting. It tasted like mediocre French bread from Ralphs. All said at this price point you need to bring a higher level of skill and quality across the board and create a more comfortable environment. There’s far too many decent restaurants in this area.to compete. With the exception of folks returning to enjoy some wine at the bar I really don’t see this place getting much repeat business and I’d predict they’re gone within a year. It’s too bad because the idea of a small meat centric menu is nice.

I rarely write restaurant reviews, but Butchr Bar genuinely impressed me. I went with a friend for dinner, and everything from the food to the atmosphere felt on point. The vibe inside is cool and welcoming. Dim lighting, modern touches, and a kind of laid-back energy that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It’s the kind of place that feels special without trying too hard. We started with a couple of appetizers. I ordered the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and paired with baguette that added the perfect texture. It had just the right amount of tang and richness without being too heavy. My friend got the deviled eggs, and honestly, I ended up stealing one. They were creamy and super flavorful and way better than your average deviled egg. We both looked at each other after the first bite and were like, “Okay, this place knows what it’s doing.” For mains, I decided to go all in and ordered both the lamb and the burger. The lamb was tender and full of flavor, cooked beautifully with a pink center and served with a sauce that brought it all together. I kept slowing down my bites just to make it last longer. As for the burger, I ordered it protein style since I’m cutting back on carbs, and it didn’t disappoint. Even without the bun, it held together perfectly and tasted incredible. Juicy patty, sharp cheddar, tangy pickles, and pickled beets all wrapped in crisp lettuce. It felt indulgent but still light enough that I didn’t regret a thing. My friend had the Wild Rivers ribeye and was seriously blown away. It came out with a perfect crust and was cooked exactly how they wanted it. Super tender, juicy, and flavorful all the way through. They said it was one of the best steaks they’ve had in a long time, and I believe it. The service was another highlight. Our server was friendly, gave great suggestions, and really knew the menu. You could tell the staff actually cared, which made the whole evening feel even more enjoyable. We didn’t end up getting dessert, mostly because we were too full. But everything we saw going to other tables looked amazing, so I already know I’ll be back to try something sweet next time. I also had a glass of wine that was amazing, they had a great selection. You can tell their wine selection is just as thoughtful as their kitchen. What stood out the most to me was how intentional everything felt. The flavors, the presentation, the pacing of the meal. It’s clear that someone put a lot of heart and pride into creating this place. If you're a fan of high-quality meat, amazing wine , and warm service, Butchr Bar should be on your list. I left full, happy, and already thinking about what I want to try next. Highly recommend. This place is a gem.

I live on the west side, but I like to make regular pilgrimages to Echo Park to check out what’s new—there’s always something interesting popping up. A friend told me about Butchr Bar, this new Aussie-owned meat-focused spot, and let me just say: it’s a serious standout. The first time I dropped in was kind of spontaneous. We were just grabbing a quick bite before a show and ended up ordering the Aussie and American burgers. Didn’t expect to be blown away—but we totally were. The Aussie had this smoky, savory richness with the perfect tang from the beetroot, and the American was just straight-up indulgent. Juicy, melty, satisfying in every way. We left full and super impressed. But here’s the thing—we couldn’t stop thinking about it. The food, the vibe, the energy—it all just worked. So a couple nights later, I made the drive back just to do a deeper dive into the menu. We started with a bottle of Amandine by Damien Bureau—a fizzy Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley that was crisp, bright, and loaded with these fresh apple and pear notes. Totally unexpected and completely perfect with the charcuterie plate, which is all made in-house and honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Every slice had this super intentional flavor and texture—balanced fat, bold seasoning, and nothing overpowering. The pickled veggies were fresh and vibrant, giving everything this extra lift. It’s a next-level board. And then the wagyu! We tried both the regular and aged cuts, and both came out hot, juicy, perfectly rested, and just melting with flavor. Seared beautifully with a smoky crust and that buttery interior that real wagyu is known for. The sauces were anything but an afterthought—refined, balanced, and clearly designed to complement the beef rather than mask it. The herb one was kind of like a dialed-in chimichurri, the orange peel sauce had this really cool citrus-savory thing going on, and the dark one had a funky, fermented depth that was addictive in the best way. These were chef sauces, not just condiments. Also tried the lamb chops, which were ridiculously good—tender, flavorful, and perfectly caramelized on the outside. And the bone broth? Just a simple cup, but man—it hit. Deep, rich, comforting. Like the kind of thing you don’t realize you need until you’re sipping it. The space itself is awesome. It’s got this warm, modern Western-Italian fusion feel—I loved the wood furniture and mod-industrial-concrete design, mixed with some terracotta palette. It was an intimate environment, yet socially spacious. Music was on point, the lighting’s moody but not dark, and you can actually hold a conversation without yelling. It’s the kind of place you want to linger, OR better yet a great date place. And the staff—total pros, but also super laid-back and funny. We had a couple of good laughs with our server, and the bartender really knew the wine list. The whole team felt like they genuinely cared, but without that over-the-top scripted vibe. Just good people who love what they do. Butchr Bar isn’t trying too hard, and that’s what makes it great. It’s confident, creative, and totally unpretentious. You get the feeling it’s going to become one of those spots people talk about for years—like, “Remember when you could still get a table at Butchr?” Echo Park just keeps delivering, and this place is already at the top of my list. I’ll be back soon—and next time, I’m going big with the tomahawk.

The salad was surprisingly my favorite—refreshing with some interesting flavor combinations. The in-house charcuterie was excellent; I could’ve easily doubled my order. Steak tartare and sausage had good flavor but leaned a bit salty.

This place is a small restaurant with a bar and limited seating. The vibe is chill, but that’s the only thing worth mentioning. We started with the asparagus and shrimp—the asparagus was alright, a bit too salty but decent with the sauce. The shrimp? Just okay. But here’s the kicker: you get two shrimp for $24. For mains, we ordered the Roam Wagyu Rump MB7 and the Roam Wagyu Ribeye Dry Aged 25 Days. Both were a disaster. They showed up almost cold, and were dry and so salty they were barely edible. They felt like beef jerky instead of actual steak. Honestly, some of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. On top of that, it took nearly an hour from ordering to get our food. Completely disappointing experience.

Wow, where to begin? This was not just an ordinary Wednesday night when I pulled in solo and had a seat at the bar. I had reviewed the menu and really didn’t know what to have, but I was so welcomed by the staff and the owner and chef that I said please, let’s just do an Omakase and bring me some great food. I’m so glad I did. Form lamb tartar with fermentes chili sauce to Wagyu skewers with scallions to an unbelievable ribeye perfectly prepared with just the perfect amount of fat that melted in your mouth and incredible flavor from a smoky finishing salt. It was just unbelievable. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. The wine was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy, but not sleepy or boring if you love perfectly prepared meat and an atmosphere conducive to good conversation and friends this has to be on your list.

We waited near an hour for the driest steak of our lives. If you see “wagyu” and think of a fatty, juicy piece of steak, then do NOT order steak here. We tried both of the wagyu (regular and aged) option. They both came out DRY and CHEWY and room temperature. They were also super salty. All 3 sauces provided tasted terrible. One was salty orange peel, one tasted like blended grass, and the third looked like a piece of turd. Appetizers were overpriced and not that great either. Do not recommend at all.

Hard to know where to start with this excellent little spot. The wonderful Aussie owners and their hospitable and entertaining staff? The music? The food? The wine? They're all good, so I'll focus on the food first. I came here with a long-time customer/friend and really enjoyed everything from the first dishes to the meats and grilled veggies to the desert - it was all to die for. Things you shouldn't miss: Heirloom Tomato Salad Grilled Broccolini Market Salad Charcuterie Board (all made in-house!) Seared Sausages Wagyu of your Choice Anything with lemons (they bring them from Sicily, I think) Chef knows the way of fire and so much more. And the vibes are good. Highly recommend. A bit ashamed to say it....was too busy enjoying and didn't take pics. But trust me, your senses will all thank you.

Excellent dry aged meat in a beautiful hip space with thoughtful menu options. Reservations Reservations recommended, easily done online. Try to make a reservation a couple of days in advance, as the space is limited, but you can try your luck with the bar seating. Ambiance Relatively small interior, but there are a variety of tables including those for slightly bigger groups (8?) and small wooden stools for seating. Decor is warmly lit, with pink paint, murals, dried flowers, and marble tops. A cozy feel and stylish. Nice ceramic lamps are beautiful accents to the bar area Menu and food and drinks The menu is a single page with a lot of showstoppers, designed for sharing. There's always a market salad available, a range of appetizers, steaks, charcuterie boards. The drinks menu includes bubbles, orange and pink wines, whites and reds, all have by the glass options with non-alcoholic options and cocktails as well. We ordered a glass of the nebiolo and a glass of the velias, both very interesting natural red wines that paired well with the steak. Appetizer: the beef tartare is a must order. It is made with dry aged meat, from the picanha cap portion of beef. A deep, beefy flavor. Seasoned with garlic and also served with a quail egg yolk, with bread and olive oil. Stunning, unlike traditional tartare but in an excellent way and one of the best I've ever had. 25 day age purebred Australian wagyu steak, served with a shallot marmalade (deeply flavored), pairing well with the medium rare sliced steak, which was so soft that we didn't need anything but our bread knives to cut. The broccolini was charred over charcoal, really well cooked and was a delicious smokey side to the steak. Parking Street parking is readily available, a luxury and Silverlake. Service Service was friendly and welcoming. They mentioned that this place has been open for just 4 months! Our server was very helpful to help us decide on drinks given what we were ordering on the menu. Overall, an excellent experience in a beautiful spot, and we would definitely love to be back and try more on the menu!

la is full of wine bars but I will say this one stood out to me. the food was tasty and the servers were so much fun to be around. we ordered a couple dishes but the wagyu and sausages are a must! really liked the inside, it was cozy and intimate. worth checking out!

The Butchr Bar is a recently opened restaurant that specializes in salami, and Australian wagyu steak. Some of the dishes I ordered with my husband were the cheese platter, dry-aged wagyu, boar salami, and beef salami. The cheese platter had a good combination of blue cheese and goat Gruyère. Although I'm not a fan of goat, the Gruyère had me blown away. It was overall a well-rounded cheese due to its nuttiness and sharp taste. The cheese platter was complimented with roasted macadamia in beef tallow. This had to be the best macadamia I've ever had. The beef tallow brings out the flavor of the macadamia itself, making it a great snack with the cheese. Another unique item I tried in the restaurant was their boar salami. The boar salami had a good mixture of fennel seeds, fat, and meat. Like their wagyu steak, the salami itself instantly melted in my mouth. The beef salami, I would say, is another great choice. Although it wasn't as fatty as the boar salami, it was still a nice meat to eat with their cheese platter. The server, Ricardo, made the experience more enjoyable. You can tell the love, and passion he has for food. He even helped my husband find his new favorite red wine! The Butchr Bar is a hidden diamond in Los Angeles. If you are a fan of cheese, salami, and steak, you have to give this restaurant a try.

Stumbled upon this cute little steakhouse restaurant in our neighborhood. It truly is a small space inside as they don't have many tables, and the ones they do have are very family style, large sharing tables. They also have additional bar seating. We ordered the small charcuterie and tartare to start and shared a steak after. Charcuterie was good, but very expensive for what it was.. and the slices of the meats were quite thin and about the size of a nickel... I don't know if that was exactly worth the money but I'm glad I tried it. The blue cheese paired well though and quite possibly the best blue cheese I've ever had??? I usually hate blue cheese so much.. haha. Tartare was yummy and so was the steak! I do wish the steak came with another little side or something though.. possibly some broccolini or carrots or even fries would be nice! Service was quick and friendly and food came out fairly quickly. Would come back if we feel like splurging a little again as this place did get pretty pricey!

I had a great time here! Had the the boar salami and a rib eye and both were phenomenal. The staff is friendly and eager to explain their selections of wine and meat. Very reasonably priced as well. Nice digs and parking is pretty easy to find. Love it!

Very much a wine and charcuterie place. I was excited to try the beef tartare as I had only seen it in magazines. It was sooo good! The aged beef was perfectly salty and the quail egg on top made the dish much more flavorful. My party got the trout sampler and it was tasty. I usually don't like trout so it was a very good surprise. All the cheeses paired well with the various wines served and I could have eaten all of the olives. They were tasty! I also love that the place is nestled in an area that has so many windows so you can watch all the cute neighborhood dogs go by. There were so many dog walkers!!

To say I love this brand new bar/restaurant in echo park is an understatement! I feel like this gem of a place deserves a detailed write up from me. Walking into Butchr Bar on date night with my husband, transported me to the feeling I had walking into the warm vibe of family run restaurants in Italy. The pastel colors throughout, the tiles decorated at the end of the bar & in the bathroom. The large concrete bar stretching across 1/2 the width of the room with stunning lamps on both ends was so inviting for us as a couple. I also saw a number of singles sitting enjoying a glass of wine & soaking up the bar ambience. They had a few larger communal tables & two tops which could cater for any combination of walk ins so you could definitely go with larger groups of friends too. We immediately sat at the bar and got excited to watch the Chef and kitchen through a big glass window right in front of the bar. We could see them prepare our delicious seared pork sausages. We ordered the fresh market salad, the chef selection cheese board served with local bread, preserved green olives ( so good), the fermented local tomatoes and the headliner was trying the Lamb salami & Boar salami charcuterie board. It was beautifully presented and so delicious that we will be back to try each option on the menu. There were a number of options with small and large charcuteries, including cured Smoked Rainbow trout (which looked mouth watering). We had a really friendly server who told us about the organic wines & the regions they came. I drank 'The virus on the dance floor' which was perfect and my hubby had a beer. Honestly, the overall the experience was a solid five star, the quality of the food, the natural wines and the ambience was so thoughtful & personal. I might have finally found a place where I can relax and be a regular in LA.

Me brother and I stopped by because the smell of bbq caught our attention. The wagyu steak was phenomenal great experience would definitely come back

Absolutely beautiful location in Echo Park with top notch imported dry aged way beef, lamb, pork sausages, charcuterie boards delicious vegetables and more. There's great wine, olive oil, beef jerky and even dog treats.

The only food we crave. We live an hour away and stop here whenever we get the chance. Each item on the menu is so fresh. The wine is the best we've had. The ambiance really ties it together and it's the perfect date night. Not to mention the staff and service feel like family. They're so attentive and such good company that I threw my 30th birthday here! I can not stop raving about this place. Best spot in La
