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!

    Always enjoy the experience at Farm Bar either eating at the bar or seated at a table. The challah bread appetizer with flavored butter is great. Fried cheese curds were solid. Only app that we haven't enjoyed are the various renditions of hummous. The salmon dishes, either on salad or in a main, are very tasty. The sunchoke puree, steak and cabbage was great for the meat eater. There are 2 solid veg entrees. Overall, it's just a solid restaurant, priced appropriately with good bevvies and service.

    A cozy spot for a friend and me on a slushy night. Good cocktails and beer and yummy food. We particularly Ike the cheese curds.

    Ordered a burger-just cheese & extra grilled onion on it. No pickles no special sauce no lettuce. Got a burger with everything but extra grilled onions. It's not hard to follow instructions written by the server. The chefs were not paying attention.

    Thanks for taking the time to share a review, Angie. We're disappointed to hear that although you enjoyed your service table-side, it sounds like there may have been some miscommunication from order to delivery. We always want you to address any issues with your dish in the moment as we would be more than happy to fix what went wrong. We will be sure to pass this feedback along to our kitchen and hope that we have the chance to exceed your expectations sometime soon. Best, Your Friends at Farmheads
