Mr. Bartley's reopens in Harvard Square

Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burgers, a Harvard Square staple that has been serving up political slander and pop-culture worship along with its killer burgers since 1960, is back in business.

A grease fire on Saturday, Sept. 20 forced the owners to close down shop for the first time in almost 50 years.

The iconic Mass. Ave restaurant caught on fire after a buildup of grease in the grill's hood became combustible. Fire and smoke damage is estimated around $90,000.

Mr. Bartley's is famous for spotlighting B-list celebs and politicos with tasty burgers named after folks like Dick "a heart beat away" Cheney, Arnold "this is no girly burger" Schwarzenegger and Al "they all lie" Franken.
