Butcher Boy

Chinatown & the CBD


Meat lovers will love the Asian-inspired creations by chef-owner Andrew Walsh, formerly of tapas haven Esquina, in this dimly lit shophouse grill and bar. Perfectly charred, the tender black Angus rib eye is not to be missed, and the masala roasted cauliflower has vegetarians swooning. The good vibes keep on rolling with wickedly strong cocktails.

Happy hour runs 5pm to 7pm daily and the bar seating is great for solo drinkers and diners.
