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!

    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.

    Really bummed because I’ve been wanting to try out this spot and we got a reservation for New Year’s Day! We got sat and the place was maybe 20% full and had LOTs of employees staffed as well. I sat with my 2 friends for almost 25-30 minutes and no staff member came back up to order our drinks and food. We were starving! I worked in the service industry so I get it if your understaff and holiday busy - but this was NOT the case at all. Bummer I couldn’t try the food and might not come back due to how the service was :/

    Hi Nicole, We're really sorry to hear that we totally missed the mark yesterday. This is not how we operate and we would like to have another opportunity to show you what we're all about. I would like to invite you and a guest back to dine with us on me. Please reach out to me at your convenience and I will make a reservation for you. Happy New Year, Bonni
