Bear & The Butcher

Bear & The Butcher is on Euclid Avenue in Chevy Chase, near the University of Kentucky campus. The venue calls itself a Wildcats gathering place and lists an unusually detailed setup for an independent bar: 14 TVs, a 150-inch projector and game-day sound. Its sports subscriptions include NFL Sunday Ticket, ESPN+, MLS Pass and Bally Sports, with cable and streaming boxes to manage multiple broadcasts.

House-smoked jumbo wings are the signature item highlighted by the restaurant; the menu also offers starters, sandwiches and pub fare. Reservations and ordering are linked from its website. Hours vary by day, the venue is closed Mondays and opens earlier on Fridays and weekends, so kickoff does not always line up with opening time. The location is a short drive from several university venues, according to the business’s own information.

Customer comments often mention the wings, burgers and game-day atmosphere; the focus on college sports makes UK dates especially busy. The website does not guarantee dedicated parking, so check nearby options and event timing. The official site links Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, where the business posts news, menu information and announcements for its followers.
