Your Ballard Neighborhood Butcher Shop & Restaurant

About B&C

Beast & Cleaver is a family-owned, neighborhood whole-animal butcher shop and restaurant driven by one obsession: sourcing the best possible meat for your family and the planet.

At Beast & Cleaver, sustainability and great flavor start with how our meat is raised. We partner with trusted local farms — about 80% in Washington and another 10–15% across the Pacific Northwest — so you can count on meat that’s ethically sourced, raised organically in practice, and better for the environment. We also use the whole animal, which cuts down on waste, respects the farmers’ hard work, and gives you the best possible cuts and flavor.
