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 had a fantastic dinner at Farm Bar. We loved the decor, the ambiance was relaxed, casual and not too noisy and the wine and beer we got at happy hour were great. Our waitress was friendly and professional. Our dinners (the salmon and two of the vegetarian mushroom dishes) were wonderful and we split the very yummy sticky toffee date cake served with vanilla bean ice cream on top. Loved everything about it!!

    Best cheese curds in Chicago, possibly in the world. I had the salmon which was also very good.

    Tables were placed very close to each other. We had difficulty moving between tables to get seated. The noise level from conversation was high enough that conversation was difficult. The food was adequate, not really special.

    Stay away from the pot roast. The outer portion is hard as a rock so only a small portion was eatable...

    Great ambience, tasty drinks. There was a 15-20min. wait with reservation. Service was slow and food was not as great as expected. Very dry with both entrees, pot roast and chicken. Might try again and try different entrees.

    the gnudi was absolutely spectacular, unbelieveable spice combination that was extremely flavorful without being spicy
