The Federal Bar

Theres a tall handsome darker skinned gentleman that works as a bar tender and waiter sometimes! I forgot his name:((((( if anyone sees this review who works there...please fill free to add! He is an amazing "all of the above" guy. He didnt miss a beat when I was there...he had customers laughing ....ran back to the bar helped them, waited tables and all with the best attitude and charisma. I noticed others complemting him as well! He deserves all the praise and rewards....truly. I even wrote a note on the receipt to thank him ..plus tip of course! Oh yah and I've been coming here for years!!!!!! Best pretzels and best entertainment. best wishes to this business!!!

Went to the Rebels of Comedy show last week! It was outside in the parking lot and the set up was great! The Rebels of Comedy every Wednesday and Thursday night. So glad to be able to go out again and laugh! $15 to get in and no minimum. Full bar and menu available.

Great location, good drinks & live music!

I am a fan!

I've wanted to try this place out and so glad I finally got the opportunity.

I went on a Monday night and was super excited they had live music. There are not many places to sit and lounge but it's a pretty decent size for standing guest.
I liked the fact they served food until late. I tried their friend chicken and biscuit sliders and house fries. Enjoyed them both, but would have preferred a cranberry marmalade or something sweet on the biscuit as the gravy provided didn't have much flavor. The fries were fries...fantastic!

The drinks are a little pricey. $12 for a signature cocktail. I had the Flawless which was Grey Goose Pear Vodka, St. Germain Elderflower, Fresh Lime Juice and Prosecco. It was both refreshing and tasty. It also provided a nice little buzz 2 in.
I LOVED the music it was a great vibe to just drink and chat. There was a $10 cover so not sure if that's every night or just this special event so check to see what's going on if you aren't looking to pay.

They also have a very convenient lot nearby that's only $3 for valet. There is street parking around but its far and few especially for the busy neighborhood.

My new favorite restaurant. My friend and I shared the tuna poke salad, chicken biscuit sliders and the grilled asparagus. All were absolutely delicious. I am definitely coming back again and again! I want to try their Mac and cheese next time!

Nice restaurant/bar with a great atmosphere, and the staff were really friendly and attentive.
We had varying kinds of mac and cheese which were all delicious, and good portion sizes!
They also have different offers throughout the week e.g. Wednesday is free bacon night when you can add bacon to any dish for free.

I home here with some co-workers and friends on Monday nights for trivia. The food is great and the place has a great ambiance. Service is okay, can be a little slow at times. So far i've only really ordered sides and appetizers but it's all been very good. They have poutine that you can customize and I love the roasted pork belly appetizer. Great selection of drinks as well. Overall, great place.

I loved the Federal! I went during the week day for a business meeting. I had never been although several friends sang its praises for Happy Hour and eating. I was shocked at the menu. They had vegan options for me. I ordered the vegan Mac n Cheese that had soy chorizo and kale in it and I added crispy onions. Guys it was delicious!! I wish I had taken pictures. Definitely going to be a place I frequent since it's in my neighborhood.

Our date spot, prefer downstairs lounge atmosphere. Upstairs is ok though small and crowded when busy club, nothing special there. Downstairs when they have musicians is really nice. Great atmosphere in back lounge and front diner. Can be hard to get a seat in back when busy, not very large space in rear despite building appearing big from outside, plenty of room in diner. Prices are ok, not high or low, wont break the bank. Staff nice.

Had dinner here with a friend during a work trip to LA. I had the buffalo cauliflower and the Mac and cheese. Both were amazing and delicious! Our waitress was friendly, made good menu suggestions and was attentive. Will definitely be back here!
