Editorial Review for Four Farthings Tavern and Grill – by Jennifer Olvera
The Scene
This bar and restaurant combo is decoratively inspired by early Chicago taps and is just as approachable. Wood-heavy, TV-peppered and bearing plenty of bar stools, the tavern side caters to casual 30-somethings done checking out scenes, while its adjacent dining room appeals to Lincoln Parkers seeking prime steaks, fresh seafood and upscale--but again, approachable--cocktails. In the summer, simple sidewalk seating offers a tree-lined breath of fresh air.
The Draw
Eighteen taps, plus a few more bottles, ensure something for every beer-drinker; single malts, ports, cognacs and wines satisfy those in search of finer things without fuss. Food-wise, sauteed crab cakes with country mustard sauce, zippy blackened flank steak and mushroom salad, and double-cut lamb chops with bourbon-rosemary sauce go beyond bar norms. A juke features standards from the Dead to Britney, while live music on Saturdays kicks it up a notch with Eagles and Beatles covers.

We needed a place for a birthday party and learned they had a FREE party room in back. The room was not large but easily fit nearly 40 people who could sit or stand around a large table in the center. The manager recommended that we order appetizers as we needed them. This worked very well. Appetizers were generous in portion, fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was excellent. Servers took drink orders and worked the room to make sure we always had what we needed. When our group got a little bigger, Four Farthings opened the side doors where we could sit at their tables and enjoy a beautiful evening. The tab was more than reasonable for all the food we managed to put away. Loved the charming atmosphere and will certainly return to sample the main menu from their inviting dining room. Valet parking was a major plus but I don't think my husband tipped the valet enough! Thank you Four Farthings for a great evening and for your excellent hospitality.
