About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Good for business meals

We are fine-casual dining with a fire at the core of its heart. Through the smoke and whiskey ashes of the previous iteration which closed its doors in 2020 rises a new haze of smoke and whiskey as we bring back this iconic brand, smoked meats, bourbon, beer, deep hues, and various spaces to a new location in the North Loop. Butcher & The Boar will honor its beloved roots, while spreading new ones in the fresh foundation that will help our guests embark on a journey with notes of nostalgia that carry the torch forward with new tastes and experiences.

With immense gratitude, we invite you to Live Full Boar with us.

Food and service were great. We were told that the food came kind of like family style. Our group ordered the steak salad ($28) long ribs ($54) and chefs choice which I think was a steak with curly fries and cheese curds. ($85 I think) and the salmon ($28) very small portion. Two people sharing the meal was not enough for our group. But, for others it might be just right. I felt it was a little over priced. However, I understand prices are up all over. They had Valet parking for $10 which I thought was fair. Hard to find street parking at times.

The service and food are outstanding across the board. The wine list is very pricy, especially with so many retail brands on the list.

So glad we finally got to try Butcher & thr Boar! We will definitely be back. The ambiance and food was exactly what we look for. The tri-tip was delicious to get that smoked flavor with it still getting cooked to a medium!!! Great place to go for a date or an outing with friends. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

An exciting menu, I had no idea where to start. The food was outstanding, the restaurant was crystal clean. Love the restroom hallway with the layer of pennies covered in clear epoxy - nice touch!! Service was slow, but otherwise an experience to share....I shall return!!

Beautiful restaurant!! Love the look! Server was engaged & funny. Had the salmon entree , the chilled cucumber salad & the shrimp /fried green tomatoe appetizer . They were amazing. Unfortunately I can’t say that about the long ribs! It was all fat & half you couldn’t even eat. It’s $85.00 so it should be better than that. I didn’t realize how bad it was because I took that home because I was full. I tried to eat it the next day & had to throw it out. I get the long ribs every time I go there, so I know what they should be, and that wasn’t it! Overall it still was good & I will go back.
