About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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!

    All our food was farm fresh and incredibly flavorful. Monday night welcomed us with half priced wine by the bottle to match our wonderful meals. The service was excellent, so I would highly recommend a meal here.

    Order the cheeseburger but substitute the pimento cheese for the cheddar. Very sloppy and very, very good.

    Please be thoughtful in allowing staff to come by and try to clear plates. We felt extremely rushed and the restaurant was empty. Also, can you fix the drying door setup to reduce cold draft. Why seat people up front when the restaurant is empty?
    Farm Bar - RavenswoodResponded on 31 March 2025
    Morgan, thank you for this honest feedback. We'd never want you to feel rushed when dining with us or uncomfortable at your table. We will make sure to remind our team to allow our guests to enjoy their escape at a relaxed pace and also make sure to note we are aware of the draft from the door. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best, Your Friends at Farmheads

    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.
    Farm Bar - RavenswoodResponded on 24 March 2025
    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
