About Us

At Urban Farmer Philadelphia, everything we do celebrates the spirit of the city we call home. From the warm, modern-rustic design to the locally sourced ingredients on every plate, our restaurant reflects the energy and flavor of Philadelphia. As the city’s modern steakhouse, our menu highlights sustainable ingredients, simple preparations, and strong partnerships with local farms, ranches, and fisheries. Behind the bar, you’ll find Pennsylvania craft beers, cocktails made with local spirits, and a vibrant wine program featuring regional vineyards.

Nine floors above the city, Assembly Rooftop Lounge offers one of Philadelphia’s most exciting views. Overlooking Logan Square and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this stylish rooftop pairs panoramic scenery with sparkling cocktails, champagne, and a lively, city-chic atmosphere. Our associates bring these experiences to life by anticipating guest needs, creating memorable moments, and supporting one another to deliver exceptional hospitality.

If you have a passion for great service, a “make it happen” mindset, and enjoy creating experiences people remember, Urban Farmer Restaurant & Assembly Rooftop Lounge may be the perfect place for you.
