Fridays are HOT

by jpoppin at Citysearch

The Fed Cafe is a chill place to hang out for any crowd. Friday nights there is a house DJ playing everything from The Beastie Boys and SUblime to DipSet and Daddy Yankee. Drinks are cheap, no cover, no dresscode, good times and good people.

Definitely a good place to go if ur sick of Hartford's weak club scene.

  • Pros: Drinks and Music
