News \u0026 Observer food critic Greg Cox says: The atmosphere isn't fancy at this Durham bar, and the service can be erratic. So why does the place fill up most nights? The excellent selection of draft beers certainly doesn't hurt. But the real draw is the food, an offering which includes a charcuterie plate of house-cured meats, beer-braised carnitas, and a nightly changing chalkboard where... more

In Short Offering an upscale bar menu and DJs several nights a week, this Main Street locale is a hipster hangout as well as a good lunch option. Try the puff pastry pizza or the warm artichoke salad. Vegetarians will enjoy the roasted tomato, squash and buffalo mozzarella panini. When the music isn't spinning, catch the game on one of several TVs.

The food was good. I had a some kind of delicious beefy wrap with a side salad. The side salad is one of the best I've ever had at a cheap restaurant. Lightly dressed. no disgusting tomatoes. Both times I've been the salad has been good.

The Federal is a great spot for casual dining or having a drink with some friends. The menu is fairly broad, ranging from sandwiches (the ham and cheese is exceptional) to entrees (good steak, fish, etc.) and they have a decent (~10) collection of beers on tap with a focus on local brews. On a warm day, the outside seating fills up quickly, and atmosphere inside is dim and cozy.
