Beast and Cleaver is a popular butcher shop and restaurant in the Ballard area of Seattle, Washington. It has helped turn that region into a top destination for carnivores.

This business is an excellent butcher shop during the day as they serve local and imported steaks, house-made sausages and pates, chicken, duck, and pork products. They have experts on hand to give recommendations on how to cook the meats.

The celebration of meat picks up from Thursday through Sunday evenings when it turns into an exclusive tasting-menu restaurant under the name of The Peasant. They serve dishes like koji-aged beef and duck confit with Yorkshire pudding waffles.

The restaurant relies on reservations as their area is not large.

Beast and Cleaver expanded with a new location inside Fair Brewing in 2023. They serve their famous burgers there.
