The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

    Another great meal for four in our group. Payton was a great waitress and Kristi was very pleasant when we arrived taking us to our table by the fireplace which we love. Krista seems to have a very organized staff all working very well together. Chicken parm and seafood ala vodka were great dishes and I had a great margarita. Our experience is always wonderful and this one of our favorite restaurants.

    The kitchen was a bit slow tonight, but service from Beck was attentive and the food was great as usual. The French Onion Soup gets a gold star. It's never salty, always delicious with oohy gooey cheese. My partner loved the fish tacos.

    Always a favorite! A great place to relax and enjoy some of the best Italian-inspired dishes around. The portions are hot, fresh, flavorful, and filling. There is a great beer and wine list to satisfy everyone's taste and their appetizer menu has different flavors that everyone can enjoy. We love the atmosphere as it is warm and inviting; you can definitely relax and enjoy the company of those you are eating with. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We'll be back!
