Part butcher shop, part restaurant + bar, Metzger Bar & Butchery is our favorite kind of modern-thinking concept. A one-stop shop, the East End eatery serves seasonally inspired German fare with a ‘from-scratch’ mentality alongside house made sausages, cured meats and more. With concrete floors, chunky wood-block tables and tile walls the vibe recalls an old-world butcher updated with modern sensibilities. Rustic in all the right ways, Metzger Bar & Butcher is the type of restaurant where you could enjoy a beer with a co-worker, take your parents for a culinary adventure, or to bring a group of friends to start a raucous night out. A combination of all three owners skill-sets, we’re thrilled to see Metzger Bar & Butcher establish itself as one of Richmond’s best new dining hotspots.
