About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for brunch
Farm Bar is a neighborhood farm-to-table restaurant with locations in Ravenswood and Lakeview. We serve approachable midwestern fair with local, organic ingredients from our own Brown Dog Farm in Mineral Point Wisconsin. Stop by for dinner to indulge in our Classic Burger and famous Wisconsin Cheese Curds, or bring the whole family for lunch. Our mixologists behind the bar will happily shake up handcrafted cocktails or pour a glass of local wine to pair with brunch on the weekends. Join us for homestyle cooking, friendly faces and a table that feels like home. We limit our environmental footprint by using a digital menu linked to our tables with a QR code. We understand that some guests may require a paper menu, and one can be provided with a list of standards items upon request. In order to meet added costs from the city, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We understand that rising costs affect our guests too, so we will remove this fee upon request.

    I am extremely disappointed that the Beet Tunen had been taken off the menu. That was the whole reason I went there!

    The local ingredients made this place really special. I wish we could eat there every day! The sangria was amazing and the sour cherry jam on the burger I will never forget. :)

    I’m so sorry I forgot the name of our darling server today. She’s from Wisconsin. The only thing better than the food was the service. I can’t wait to go back.

    Outstanding service and food! We loved being able to park once in the neighborhood and walk to dinner and then the theater. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. A gem of a place.

    Booked a reservation at 8, they were closing. Told we could order but, they served a salad without dressing before drinks even came out. Canceled the rest of the food/drinks and went somewhere else

    What a lovely date night we had! The setting wasn't overly crowded, as so many restaurants are these days. The food was creative and delicious. And our server, Veronica, was a true delight. Honestly, she took the experience to another level. And not because she did one particular thing...she was just really kind...encouring...and appropriately attentive. We both just really enjoyed her. Now, to the beverages. I had the Old Fashioned. It was really good! Then Veronica recommended a Chablis...oh my. I loved it! Food: - We started with the beer cheese soup. So good! A generous portion that we shared and the flavor was exceptional. - Eric had the pot roast. He commented that "the carrots tasted like they had just been pulled from the ground." That's how fresh they were. - I had the kale salad...really good. Ricotta. Roasted squash. And the most amazing chicken breast, cooked to perfection! - The date cake was outstanding. As was the ice cream on top. Needless to say, we will return!
