Let’s start from the bottom up. We are two brothers who grew up in the restaurant business and our success evolved from the ground up. Experience kindled our ambition to open our own burger bar one day. Ideas brewed and years of planning took us to a new level and that one day was about to happen. But, where would our burger bar be? So, the search began until we stumbled upon a beautiful basement in the 100 year old historic COOK & COMPANY building, in Downtown Farmington. It was love at first sight. In 2010, the first BASEMENT BURGER BAR® opened and continues to thrive. Whether you build your own burger or salad in our unique basement in Farmington or the upper levels of our newest locations, we offer the same good food and dining adventure. Our name, BASEMENT BURGER BAR® will always remain the same, no matter what level or location we take it to.
Cheers! – The Azar Brothers
