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!

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

    A solid farm-to-table concept with an interesting menu crafted from quality ingredients. We tried the vegetarian appetizers and they were all well executed (except perhaps the Mac n Cheese which was ok but nothing to crow about). Both the roasted carrot and roasted cabbage dishes were delicious though I'd have liked to see a citrusy dressing (less creamy) on at least one of them. The dessert on this day was a bit of a let down (Honey and black walnut ice cream) being a bit too salty (almost inedibly so). I wish they could figure out a vegetarian version of the Gnudi - looked appetizing but we were informed it had a meat sauce. We ordered 3 drinks and 2 of them (Old Fashioned, Farmer's Remedy) were well executed. The V-day honey jar gift was a nice touch. Overall, service was attentive and unobtrusive and we will return if and when the menu changes and there are new things to try!

    Ram, thank you for taking the time to give us your honest feedback. We are happy to hear our team took care of you and you enjoyed some of our dishes. We are always appreciative of guests letting us know how they felt about their dishes, as it helps us further evolve our menus as the seasons change. We will take your notes and send them to our team to see where edits can be made as well as adding a few vegetarian options. Thank you again for your feedback. Stay tuned for those menu changes! Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads

    Excellent food and cocktails. The owner of the restaurant owns a farm in Wisconsin from which the restaurant sources many ingredients.
