Fast-casual concept Jar Bar debuted in Northbrook, Ill., this summer.
The 30-seat restaurant, founded by former TV producer Karen Firsel and her husband, commercial real estate developer Adam Firsel, focuses on fresh, nutrient-dense meals across breakfast, lunch and dinner — with many items served in mason jars.
Designed by starrdesign, the 1,400-square-foot restaurant features an industrial chic appearance with an urban vibe.
A motif in the floor tile mimics the building’s original tin ceiling. A locally made community dining table centers the space. Green accents and blue seating throughout the space contrast with the dark woods.
