About Us, Burger Bach | Carytown, Richmond VA
From New Zealand, With Love

Our Story

A New Zealand inspired gastropub where grass-fed quality, genuine hospitality, and Carytown community come together in every bite.

BACH
/bætʃ/, rhymes with "batch"

A bach is a small, often very modest beach or holiday house in New Zealand, a place where life slows down, food is honest, and everyone is welcome. That spirit of warmth and simplicity is what we bring to every table at Burger Bach.

The Journey

How It All Started

The Beginning
A Vision Takes Shape
Inspired by the laid-back culture of New Zealand and the quality of its grass-fed livestock, the idea for Burger Bach was born: to bring the best of NZ agriculture to an American gastropub.
Carytown
The First Bach Opens
Burger Bach opened on West Cary Street in the heart of Carytown. Word spread fast. The grass-fed difference was real, the craft beer list was deep, and the vibe felt like home. Richmond had found its gastropub.
New Chapter
A Fresh Start
Davanté Hicks took ownership with a clear mission: honor everything that made Burger Bach special while pushing it forward. Same NZ sourcing, same quality, same Carytown soul, with fresh energy and new ideas.
Today
Where NZ Meets Carytown
24 craft beers on tap, grass-fed burgers ground fresh daily, and a team that treats every guest like a neighbor. Burger Bach is Carytown's gathering place, where the spirit of New Zealand lives in every bite.

We believe the best burgers start 7,000 miles away, on the lush green pastures of New Zealand, where cattle roam freely, fed by nature, untouched by hormones or antibiotics.
