One advantage of City Beverage is it's down the street from work for me, 
so when you motherfuckers want to get a drink there after work on friday 
all you gotta do is holler.  ;)  Clientele seems much more 
yuppy/business casual than Federal, but food and beer are pretty good 
and sitting outside is nice when it's warm.  Not much of a view, but the 
patio is more spacious than the federal.
