The Farm Bar & Grille

Started by two brothers and their cousin who left the corporate world to follow a restaurant dream, The Farm Bar & Grille brings a BBQ-inflected comfort food menu to Route 22 on the western side of Essex.

Fresh ingredients, generous portions, house-smoked meats, signature cocktails, and a lively atmosphere with outdoor deck seating and regular live music make this a popular spot for everything from casual weekday lunches to livelier weekend evenings.

The vibe is welcoming and unpretentious, kids are welcome, and the portions won’t disappoint. A well-loved fixture on Cape Ann’s dining scene.
