"An eclectically decorated, airy steakhouse with a vaulted glass ceiling and numerous dining nooks, Urban Farmer is the underrated restaurant and bar within the Nines Hotel. When the trend of barrel-aging cocktails took over the city, the bar team here went one step further with a “solera” system for its Vieux Carre, which means each drink is a mix of different ages of barreling. This lends the already complex New Orleans classic — with rye, brandy, sweet vermouth, and benedictine — even more depth. It’s a lovely start, or finish, to a steak dinner, or just for a nightcap." - Alex Frane
