Today they would be called delicatessen.<br \/><br \/>In the early years of the twentieth century it was remodelled to its present appearance and functions as it does today. When digging the well to place the current bar, buried corpses were found, probably victims of the terrible yellow fever epidemic that affected Buenos Aires in 1871. Another dramatic event occurred on the site when the owner's daughter was murdered by her boyfriend when he found out that his fianc\u00e9e was unfaithful.<br \/><br \/>Several films have been shot in its facilities, such as \"Cafet\u00edn de Buenos Aires\", \"El Tango cuenta su historia\", \"Custodio de se\u00f1oras\" and \"Desde el Abismo\".<br \/><br \/>Today <strong>The Federal<\/strong> is part of the declared <strong>Notable Bars in the City of Buenos Aires<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":76176,"template":"","blog-categoria":[43],"class_list":["post-76166","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","blog-categoria-historia-e-historias"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>El Federal - El bar m\u00e1s antiguo en la ciudad de buenos aires<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"El Federal naci\u00f3 en 1864 en Per\u00fa y Carlos Calvo.
