I absolutely love an Irish pub and Fado was great. It's a little on the fancy side for an Irish pub, being a little more classy inside and having a slightly nicer menu. But the experience is still all there, good food, good drinks, tv's showing sports, etc. They have Guiness and Smithwick's on tap which is Irish enough for me most of the time. The food was also truly good, and I would love to have revisited if I'd had the chance. read more

Fadó Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Probably one of the nicest Irish pubs I've been to. It's everything you can expect from a pub- loud, rowdy at times if an ATL sports team is on. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. But it's pretty clean and a bit more elevated than the typical dusty pub. The food was decent. I just had a chicken and pear salad but I actually really enjoyed it. It's nothing over the top but can make for a decent meal. We came in Friday night so it was judy and the service was slow. read more

Slow service, small portions and all around underwhelming. I'm sure it's a great place to get drunk but as a restaurant it's average at best. read more

10/10!! I love an Irish pub and Fadó exceeded my expectations. Amazing staff, lots of seating, plenty of TVs, and a perfect Guinness! Only got the pretzel food wise, but it was great. read more

Me and my wife stopped by this Fado's to grab some lunch on a Saturday. We were craving a glass of Guinness, and this place was perfect for it, so we ended up getting lunch too. We got some buffalo wings to start with. They were really good! It was nice and hot too (temperature wise and flavor wise.) They were literally steaming for a good 5 minutes after our server brought them. My wife got the blackened chicken salad wrap with fries for her main, and I got the fish and chips lunch portion. Both tasted INCREDIBLE. Her wrap was really good, I had a few bites. It was packed with toppings and the chicken tasted really good. My fish and chips were GREAT. I got the lunch portion, which comes with one piece of fish, but the dinner portion comes with two I believe. I didn't realize it was only one piece for the lunch portion, otherwise I would've gotten the dinner portion...I was hungry!! The fries we both got were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got some BBQ sauce to dip my fries into. I also doused my fish and chips with vinegar...you got to to do it that way! Our glasses of Guinness were fresh and poured really nicely too. They were also nice and cold! Our server was really friendly too and was always checking on us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and we'll definitely be back! We have been to this location a few times, and also the one in Buckhead. We have been to the Buckhead one more, as we used to live right in Buckhead, not too far from that location. read more

I had a pretty decent experience here. We came here to watch the Arsenal versus Manchester United game and it definitely was a pretty lively atmosphere. Everybody that worked there was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. I think that was the best part of my experience, especially from my bartender. He was really personable and took care of me. I liked my drinks as well. The only thing that I would say wasn't the best to me was the taste of the fish and chips. I expected a lot more especially because this just seems like the type of place to get fish and chips and they highlighted it on their menu but it was pretty basic to me. The fish was fried very nicely, but I just felt like there was not enough salt or seasoning so it kind of had a bland flavor. However, I also got to try the Belgian waffles and those were really good. They definitely had a really authentic Belgian waffle texture and taste that I like so they definitely did well with those. I also got to try some of the American breakfast and the sausage was surprisingly really good. That was the best thing that I tasted during this visit however, the scrambled eggs were kind of similar to the fish and chips...basically no flavor, no salt, no seasoning and just tasted really bland. It was also served with applewood smoked bacon, which to me was overcooked, the bacon was really dry and too crunchy. To me the food could've definitely been better, but there were a few menu items that stood out and were actually really good. Overall this is definitely a good place to watch games and to get drinks but the food is nothing to write home about. read more

Fadó Irish Pub - Coffee with baileys - Irish Pub Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I wanted to report this setting due to frustration of my wife getting groped by an intoxicated man at the bar here in which she begged for my help. I did not want to instigate anything as we are here for World Cup just to enjoy a good time. I stepped in in which he grabbed me and drunkenly start trying to attack verbally and then proceed to grope me. I maturely pulled the manager aside and ask for him to please be escorted. The manager stated, " he's intoxicated and doesn't know where he is. He also is a member of our pride community here ALT." My wife, several others in bar all frustrated spoke up to manager saying that his behavior wasn't appropriate. We ended up walking out. I would like this review to be under investigation with upper management as we are frustrated that management did not handle this appropriately. We could've retaliated physically but we don't behave this way in public. You should not be groping women and verbally attacking people in a public setting. read more

From the moment we walked in the ambiance welcomed us. My friend and I sat in the cozy round seating area with soft banquette cushions. Our server Daisha came over immediately and brought waters. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share with a couple drinks since it was happy hour. Everything was absolutely delicious and our server was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The music was great and not too loud. I would definitely recommend! Great spot to meet friends. read more

Having had missed almost every Celtics game, my friends coerced me into coming to this one, which was evidently one of their first losses in a while (how ironic). My friends were already quickly becoming regulars and were able to get a bench which was perfectly positioned at the center of the room to view the game from one of their 10 screens available. We shared a few order of their wings which were delicious regardless of the flavor you got (bbq, sweet chili, buffalo, lemon pepper). Drinks were great, I had my first Black & Gold - Stella Artois which was delicious and something I'd like to get again. Our waitress was really on the ball on taking orders and cleaning our table as the night went on. Overall, we had a really fun time with good food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend checking this place out and not shying from utilizing their kitchen! read more

Nathan the bartender is amazing! Very attentive and makes a mean margarita. We always have a great time when he's working.

Fado is always a guaranteed good time in Midtown with the best sports always on and a great atmosphere. I've been with work and with friends and it's always consistent! The food to me overall is nothing out of the water but standard bar food that gets the job done. They have some of the best mules in my opinion and the drinks are always delicious. I've tried most of the appetizers and the chicken quesadillas and the fried goat cheese are some classics! This time we came for the Atlanta United game on a Saturday and got a table for 7 people really easy which was awesome! The host even mentioned he had the game with volume in the back which was great. For an app, we got the cheese dip which was delicious. For the main, I got the cheesy double stack with fries and it was good! For me a little it was a little dry but the appetizers are the best thing on the menu. I also got the southern mule to drink which was delish! Overall for a great and consistent time we love Fado! read more

Great location, parking validation for up to two hours (garage is directly behind and connected to the restaurant/shopping boutiques). Had a wonderful time celebrating a close friend's birthday, with quick service, great hospitality, and delicious drinks (order off menu beverages if you can; the bartenders love to show off!). The pretzel is a must order- it's HUGE and perfect for two people. read more

Fadó Irish Pub - Restaurant is right behind me! - Irish Pub Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

They usually have great food, but the fish tacos were completely drenched in Tabasco instead of the usual chipotle aioli. It was overwhelming and unpleasant since all I could taste was Tabasco--definitely not enjoyable. I mentioned it to the older lady serving us and asked, "Does this normally have hot sauce on it? It tastes off," but she assured me this was how they're made. As a regular who's had these tacos many times, I know this isn't how they're typically served. Since it was a busy Sunday, I didn't want to make a fuss, so I ate the tabasco drenched tacos anyway because I was starving. Better quality control before food reaches the tables would make a big difference. read more

The service here is always hit or miss. The waitress did the best she could (I think she was the only one). I got the fish and chips which were actually very good. My bf got the pub sliders which were dry. The wings were solid but not great. read more

Fadó Irish Pub - Fish and chips- very good. - Irish Pub Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Fado's a pretty fun bar not too far from Fox Theater in downtown. It has a plush modern glitzy but cozy vibe about it. Plenty of space for friends gather over a few drinks and not as loud as some of those places in Atlanta are where music is so loud, you can't really hear the music let alone your thoughts. I guess the youn'ns prefer noise over conversation. Service here is friendly and flirty and fun but also dependable and reliable. read more

Any place heavily decorated for Halloween is already a 5 star for me. It shows dedication to employee experience for such a short lived holiday! Service was excellent considering there was one bartender on a Thursday afternoon during a UEFA league game. He was super attentive to everyone at all tables and the bar. I loved my pretzel! So large and really soft inside. The fish tacos were also really tasty. Nice vibes and commadery with other fans as well. Recommend for game watching! #MANU read more

This place has lost its charm. Drinks, food and service were below average. I would take my business elsewhere

Located in Midtown. I parked at the Metropolitan parking garage only a block behind the restaurant. The restaurant is about five or six blocks away from the Fox Theatre. Which we visited after brunch. There are a variety of drinks and bottomless mimosas. The menu was also varied and healthy. Service was friendly, and the restaurant/bar was clean as were the restrooms. read more

We had a friend coming in town to visit so wanted a place that could host a larger group plus put on the Atlanta United game! We were seated quickly, although service was a little slow once we were seated. Fado's food is pretty typical pub food but solid choices. I had a mule which was delicious. We split a couple appetizers, including the cheese dip and wedges as well as fried goat cheese. These were super delicious and easy to share!! For dinner, I had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. It was alright, nothing super special, just a standard chicken sandwich. My friends all enjoyed their meals. Overall, a decent Midtown spot! read more

Great battered fish. You'll need to spice it up some, but it's tasty, generous and the chips (fried) are fuggetaboutit!

We made a reservation to watch soccer. The staff was so great! They were understaffed and busy. They held the reservation that they told us they would keep for us. So much respect to management for standing up for us so we could watch soccer during a major college football game. 1 lady was unruly and rude. Staff handled her even though she was swearing and being a Karen. Thank you fado for being amazing!!! read more

Fadó Irish Pub - Black berry bramble! Yummy - Irish Pub Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food was just ok. Fish & Chips was a lot of breading. Cole slaw needed something, it tasted off. Rueben sandwich was made with coleslaw, no sauerkraut, (every Irish pub I've ever been to has made it Reuben with sauerkraut.). The potato wedges were good.. my bloody Mary came with a full piece of celery, with wilted leaves, and dirt in the folds of the salary. The drink itself was good. Our other cocktails were good. The waitress served us right away and she was very efficient. Too expensive for subpar food. We sat at a hightop table facing the bar, and as you looked at the table in front of us, the chair cushions were filthy. Something spilled.. you could see the dust on the top of the lights. It's a little rundown. Probably a fun place to go when they're having game night.. read more

We had a lovely time here! There was a soccer game that started while we were there and it was fun to see super fans trickle in while we ate. Service was a tad longer than average but seeing as it was a pretty packed house I'd say they did a great job! We ordered the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese as an appetizer but devoured it before I remembered to take a picture. For our mains I chose the Fado burger and my husband ordered fish and chips. Nice portions and amazing taste! Fun crowd, delicious food and overall a wonderful experience. read more

I am biased towards Irish pubs. Ambience is good for a typical Irish pub. While the food has mostly American bar favorites, there are several "Irish" fare such as corned beef rolls and Shepherd's pie which are both hearty with a pint of Guinness. Service is good for the slow Monday night but I suspect it will be busier for holiday season. It is definitely my go to in Midtown Atlanta. read more

We placed a reservation for 7 on Saint Patrick's Day a month ahead and they cancelled it without telling our group. When we reached out by our own accord, they told us we could walk in and grab a table. I love a little hope sprinkled on my chips, but someone in our group tried that last year and was unable to find standing room. Sure, the food may be good, but mismanagement of loyal customers is how you go from a business people people love to a bar people flock to on a once-a-year holiday. We will not be back. read more

I enjoyed Fadó Irish Pub for a midafternoon bite in Midtown! I ordered the pub burger and an unsweetened iced tea. The pub burger was tasty - flavorful beef and good proportions of everything. I really liked the bun. The fries were a little limp but they were plentiful. The tea was as expected and the waitress kept it coming! Overall, pretty good service and a good spot to watch a game or grab a beer with friends. It's not incredibly impressive but it hit the spot on Saturday. Halloween decorations were also on point! read more

Well, I discovered this place one night while I was headed to the nearby comedy club. I'm not gonna lie,they had me at fried goat cheese. So, on my next visit to a show, I stopped by and glad I did. First, you step into a very deemly lite but very inviting atmosphere . My waiter soon greeted me and took my order. I told him my love of goat cheese and ordered some fried goat cheese. He let me know that they were on the happy hour menu. You get 3 at a reduced price versus 4 at regular price. He brought them to me, and OMG, they were heavenly. I wished I had ordered a full order . Then I settled on sheppards pie. That was simply nothing but a meaty goodness. I honestly was either so excited about the food that night ,are was hungry. I forgot to take pictures of the Sheppard pie. The food was great. However IMO they could stand to have more things on the menu. I felt like to me they had a very limited menu. I will trust, though, that they know what they are doing. I will surely return. read more

Came for Brunch and was actually pleasantly surprised. Had their Irish Breakfast (with my choice of scrambled eggs). Came with a pretty big plate of food, including sausages, rashers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast. (I learned that "rashers" are like slices of ham .. the "Irish bacon.") Food was very tasty and very filling for $14. We also got their bottomless mimosas which came in HUGE glasses. Our waitress was very observant of our drinking speed and frequently dropped by to refill us to the brim. Rest assured, we got our money's worth. Only downside would be if you choose to sit outside, they're doing construction right across the street. Be wary of loud noises and construction dust flying into your food. Would definitely brunch here again! read more

I had such a great experience recently that I just had to write another review. My boyfriend and I stopped by for drinks and light fare around 2pm on a Sunday. The sign at the entrance instructed guests to wait to be seated and after a mere few seconds, a server pops up to seat us. The restaurant was packed so I feared we would be seated at an awful table but our host rounded the corner towards the back of the restaurant and sat us at a nook for two that I didn't even know existed! We were greeted by a warm, friendly server with a fantastic smile and received excellent service throughout our meal (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, but kudos to the petite curly-haired brunette!). I was pleased to learn they serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and their brunch menu is definitely work checking out if only for one reason alone: bottomless mimosas for $15! I was so excited for bottomless mimosas but that I immediately placed my order, but was warned by the server that the cutoff would be at 3pm so I would only have an hour or so to enjoy the bottomless experience. I went for the challenge! The server was so sweet - she kept an eye on us the entire time and stopped by the table multiple times to refill my glass. My glass never came close to being empty! The boyfriend and I munched on The Big Soft Pretzel: freakishly big Bavarian pretzel with whole grain mustard and cheese sauce, but we subbed mustard for double cheese at no extra charge. The pretzel was warm and tasty and was the perfect brunch snack. Will be back, thank you for the amazing service, Fado! read more

Fado's brunch is always a good time with $17 bottomless mimosas! I ordered the chicken and waffles and the pretzel to share. Chicken and waffles was so good and flavorful. I didn't care for the verde sauce on it, but the cinnamon butter was a nice touch. The pretzel was also super good, but a bit saltier than I would like. Service was amazing and our waitress was so attentive and we never had to ask for refills on our waters or our mimosas! read more

Very terrible experience from management level. She didn't want to reveal her name. She has to claim that I need to leave where I told her what is wrong and why I need to leave. She told me that I am undermining her with her staff that I don't have clue what that means and she asked me to leave the premises. I will never comeback to that place unless that woman is revealed from her duties and resign read more

Came by this place to celebrate a friend's early birthday for brunch! Definitely recommend putting in a reservation at this place if you visit on a weekend since the crowd does pick up. I ordered the chicken and waffle dish which looked too pretty to eat in my opinion but had to go all in! I liked how the chicken did not make me feel too greasy or heavy and the waffle was nice and fluffy. The butter on the side was flavored as well with a hint of sweetness and paired well with the syrup and strawberries. Can't wait to come back here again to try some other brunch dishes! read more

Friendly waitress, prompt service. Corn beef rolls were excellent and went well with my properly poured Guinness .

Went here on a Saturday morning to get some brunch with a couple of friends. They did not have any coffee based beverages which was disappointing. Our server looked disinterested and unconcerned about providing us with a good customer service experience. The food options were average at best. I ordered the chicken and waffle, which was very basic tasting. It came with your classic waffle and syrup with a piece of fried chicken over it. A few of my other friends ordered their Irish breakfast, which was also average tasting. Their bread wasn't fully toasted either. Overall, it wasn't a great experience, but decent for a quick brunch. read more
