I stumbled upon Federal while exploring downtown Durham, and I'm so glad I did! 😊 The Fish & Chips were exquisite, crispy on the outside and flaky inside.

We also tried the spicy pimento deviled eggs as an appetizer, and they were bursting with flavor. The bartender was attentive, and the atmosphere was both cozy and trendy.

Don’t miss their Prime Rib sandwich - it’s a must! With a superb beer selection and friendly vibes, this place is definitely on my list for my next visit! 🍻✨
