The habit of raw meat consumption in addition to the poor hygienic standards and lack of knowledge contribute to food-borne diseases outbreaks. The objective of this research was to assess the bacterial quality and safety of fresh meat from retail Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia. A total of 30 fresh meat samples were collected from butcher shops. Standard bacteriological methods were used to isolate and enumerate bacteria. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of  Salmonella  isolates. The mean counts of AMB, TC, and  S. aureus  were log 10 4.53, 3.97, and 3.88 log 10 cfu/g, respectively.  Salmonella  was isolated from 21 (70%) of the samples.  Salmonella  isolates in this study were highly susceptible to ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, and norfloxacin while they were resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline. High rate of multiple drug resistance was also noticed in  Salmonella  isolates. The microbial loads of meat were above the recommended microbial safety limits. Besides this, the isolation rate of  Salmonella  was high and high levels of drug resistance were documented for  Salmonella  isolates. Measures on handling and appropriate personal hygiene practices of workers in the retail shops are recommended to reduce the change of forborne disease outbreaks.
