Bridgetown Finer Meats and Wine Shop

When Bridgetown Finer Meats opened its doors in 1979 it was with one goal in mind and that was to sell products matched in quality only by the staff's excellent service. They have succeeded, for on the Saturday before Easter when I stopped by to pester them for an interview (certainly a busy day for a meats shop), I, and all of the other customers, received nothing but up-beat kindness and chatty warmth from the Bridgetown Finer Meats employees. Take, for example, the fact that they were whistling while they worked...literally! The shop prides itself on offering only choice and prime meats (higher qualities than what you'd find at the ever-so-popular "hypermarkets" of today) and even raises it own steers (male cattle) on an Indiana farm.

The shop offers a variety of other snacks and homemade treats including an excellent turkey salad and salsa. When asked what his favorite product was, employee of 10 years Mike Flikinger didn't hesitate to promote the shops secret weapon, homemade blue cheese dressing, or of course, "a nice juicy prime steak."

In the late 90's the Bridgetown Finer Meats opened an adjoining wine shop, offering the same up-beat customer service and friendly atmosphere. The shop offers wine tastings twice a week on most Fridays and Saturdays.

Perfect for?

Picky eaters, quality conscious shoppers, and elderly people who feel (and constantly tell you) that service today isn't like it used to be.
