The Federal (as most of the regulars call it) is one of downtown Hartford's oldest watering holes - unpretentious atmosphere, neighborly crowd. It may not be big on glamour, and it looks sort of like a setting for a prohibition era mob movie, but what it lacks in style and glitz the Federal more than makes up for in fun. Watch one of the 10 TVs, drink $2 domestic beers and play pool. There's no food served, but help yourself to free peanuts in the shell.
