Much like silent film theaters and do-it-yourself dental schools, butcher shops remain a quintessential part of the American neighborhood. Taste the tradition of take-home meat with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of premium meats and grocery goods at The Meat House. This Groupon is only valid for redemption at the Brookline location.

The Meat House serves up a selection of quality meats to calm carnivorous cravings, along with an array of equally stomach-soothing deli products and gourmet grocery items. Meat options include freshly butchered beef, lamb from New Zealand and the American Midwest, Iowa-bred pork, and exotic meats such as buffalo, alligator, and ostrich, or, as it's more commonly known, the mega-chicken. Customers can run up meatometers with the marinated steak tips ($17.98 for 2 lb.) or the filet mignon ($12.99 for 8 oz.), while poultrygeists can enjoy the clucking curse of lemon-and-pepper chicken breast ($9.98 for 2 lb.). The Meat House's premium proteins are dressed with signature Meat House marinades using a tumbling process first conceptualized by a team of synchronized swimming bovines.

Beyond butchered meats, The Meat House offers customers gourmet grocery goods including fine cheeses, fresh produce, artisan breads, epicurean coffees, exotic teas, and flavored oils. The Meat House also features more than 200 wines from around the world, and each staff member is trained by a certified wine educator in the fine art of wine pairing.
