About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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!

    We met friends and it was our first time with this new management. Creative and delicious cocktails, nice (if very noisy on a Saturday night) atmosphere, classic dishes and some creative ones. Only a few ice cream options for desserts, we ended up at the Greek ice cream place across the street.

    Nathalie, thank you for the honest review. We're thrilled you could return to Farm Bar, as we've evolved a bit, and happy to hear you enjoyed your farm-fresh bites. We will be sure to pass along the note regarding ice cream to our team. Maybe some new, fresh ice cream flavors will be coming to our menu sooner than you think. Thank you again for the feedback. Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads

    Farm Bar is a great place to enjoy excellent food and great service. The happy hour prices are enticing and make it worth going early to enjoy 50% off apps and drinks. Callie delivers great service and has an amazing talent for dialing into the needs of the variety of patrons from special occasion diners to families with kids.

    Food was exceptional!!! Service was a little slow, but it wasn’t a real issue due to the holiday, and it wasn’t nice to not feel rushed. We will come back!
