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.

The restaurant was beautiful inside and all of the sides were amazing! We personally thought the pork belly was lacking a bit (and for the price of it) but other than that enjoyed everything! I think next time we’d just go for a different cut of meat and stick to enjoying pork belly at home. Mac n cheese and Brussels were great! And LOVED the wedge salad too. Also had the Texas hot link which was good. The apple tart for desert had phenomenal cinnamon ice cream too!

This was my first trip to this restaurant and it was amazing! I've heard so many great things through the years and FINALLY made it. I was not disappointed. The food was outstanding with everything elevated and presented so well. My wife and mother-in-law are not necessarily meat lovers so they were a little nervous but both were overjoyed with their entrees. This might be my new favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities!

Fantastic service and the staff were very accommodating to our party. We came 30 mins late due to traffic and they we very understanding. Our server did a wonderful job going over the menu with us. The food came out perfectly and most importantly all of the staffs were friendly, kind, and attentive to 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.
