The Butcher & The Brewer

This food-forward concept from the owners of the nearby drinkers' Farmers' Cabinet, B&B is certainly a good place for beer and cocktail nerds, but the demarcated beast diagrams on the outside of this Center City haunt should tell you that it's all the meat. That focus on the first B-word of its two-part name manifests itself in the form of housemade charcuterie (check out the house-aged prosciutto and beef tongue pastrami), plus side-adorned main plates like Green Meadow Farm pork chops, Wagyu ribeye and bison short ribs.

Ask about the ever-changing whole-animal option — the kitchen acquires an entire beast and breaks it down for diverse specials each week.

Taking over the space formerly occupied by The Boilermaker, The Butcher and The Brewer opens with 40 beers on taps and a menu specializing in charcuterie, meat and more meat, but punctuated with vegan options carefully curated by chef Jennifer Choplin.
