the brand
what’s up with the shipping containers?
Owner Marvin Maldonado is an architect by trade, and in 2014, dreamed up the Federalist concept out of 7 steel containers.
Fun fact: Federalist has a green roof, covered in grass, flowers, succulents, and herbs, which helps with insulation to keep you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter!
please explain this “dangerous freedom” thing.
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery” is a translation of a Latin phrase that Thomas Jefferson used in a letter to James Madison in 1787: "Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem." It has also been translated as, "I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude."

Snag one of our super-soft tees, cozy zip-up hoodies, or Dad hats in our online store or at the restaurant. Everything has been printed locally by our friends at Garage Champs!
