Farm Bar, Chicago, IL

This quiet corner bar is Farmheads Restaurant Group’s fresh take on their popular Farmhouse concept. The exterior tells the story—a real barn from Wisconsin was carefully dismantled and repurposed as siding, bringing authentic Midwest farm charm. Inside, the original mahogany back bar was lovingly preserved and rebuilt, while the main front bar was crafted from a black walnut tree grown on the co-owner’s Wisconsin farm. Whitewashed tin ceilings and paneled walls set a simple stage for rustic murals inspired by vintage barn ads, painted by artist Peter Hurley. It’s a warm, genuine nod to farm-to-table roots in a modern neighborhood setting.
