Welcome to Farm Bar, your neighborhood farm-to-table destination in Ravenswood and Lakeview. We bring the best of Midwestern fare to your plate, using ingredients from our own Brown Dog Farm in Wisconsin. Whether you're here for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch, we’ve got something for everyone.

Enjoy juicy burgers, crispy cheese curds, and fresh seasonal dishes that highlight the bounty of the Midwest, paired with a handcrafted cocktail or a perfectly selected glass of wine.

When the weather’s fine, head upstairs to ARRIBA, our rooftop margarita bar with Latin-inspired snacks and great views.

We're also committed to sustainability with digital menus linked via QR codes at each table.

As of July 1, 2024, The Chicago City Council mandated a steep increase in hourly wages for food service teams. In order to meet this added cost, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We can remove this fee upon request.

Let’s eat, drink, and connect at Farm Bar and ARRIBA!

    The hostess was a bit rude and wouldn't seat us until our entire party arrived. I've been several times before and have always been sat upon arrival while waiting for the others to arrive. It was very uncomfortable for 5 people to stand at the front door to wait for the one person parking the car.

    Thank you for this honest review, Valeria. We are disappointed to hear that you were met with anything but the highest level of service and kindness upon your visit to Farm Bar. We will pass these notes along to our team and address what went wrong and how we can improve moving forward. We completely understand how that could be uncomfortable and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you for your honesty and we hope you will give us another chance. Best, Your Friends at Farmheads

    Our waitress was really nice and the food was fantastic. I would recommend this place to everyone. If you're vegetarian there are many great options.

    Food at the restaurant is always great. Servers are little to anxious to take your unfinished food plate or drink away. So, hold on to your plate!

    We had a fantastic dinner at Farm Bar. We loved the decor, the ambiance was relaxed, casual and not too noisy and the wine and beer we got at happy hour were great. Our waitress was friendly and professional. Our dinners (the salmon and two of the vegetarian mushroom dishes) were wonderful and we split the very yummy sticky toffee date cake served with vanilla bean ice cream on top. Loved everything about it!!

We're happy to hear you enjoyed you farm-fresh bites and our team took great care of you. The Sticky Toffee Date Cake is pretty amazing, right? We hope you'll stop by to see us again soon!

    Best cheese curds in Chicago, possibly in the world. I had the salmon which was also very good.

    Tables were placed very close to each other. We had difficulty moving between tables to get seated. The noise level from conversation was high enough that conversation was difficult. The food was adequate, not really special.
    Farm Bar - RavenswoodResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for this honest review, Evan. We are disappointed to hear that your dinner did not meet your expectations and that you felt and sort of discomfort during your dining experience. We will pass these notes along to our team and see if we can adjust table spacing to be better suited for conversations and alleviating the noise level within the restaurant. We appreciate your honesty as we're always trying to improve the guest experience. We hope you'll give us another chance and stop by again soon. Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads

    Stay away from the pot roast. The outer portion is hard as a rock so only a small portion was eatable...

We will take your notes regarding the Pot Roast back to our team and see what went wrong.
