Book Chicago Restaurant Week now! 1/24-2/9 | Brunch, Lunch, Dinner

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.

    Kind of noisy but certainly energetic. Don’t like the only online menu. Especially for drinks.

    farm bar is great. My only complaint is that they don’t have fountain soda. You get cans of Diet Coke if you order that. If they step up their game there, this place will be perfect.

    Thank you for the kind feedback, Brian! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your Farm-fresh bites and our team took care of you. We will take you request for fountain soda back to our team and investigate further. We're always looking to improve the guest experience so we truly appreciate the note.
