The drinks are the main reason to come as well as for watching games and hanging. Basic looking place but it used to be even more so before they renovated it a while ago. It's the same one that was formerly known as Keegan's. There's a mix of Irish flags and sports memorabilia covering the walls. A lot of the guys here will be drinking beers. There's a few on tap including of course Guinness. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. There's plenty to choose from beyond Jameson. Has no food. They let you bring in stuff. Going here is kind of a throwback experience. It's actually a lot cleaner than it used to be when it was like how dank and dusty bars used to be around here. They're located close to 106th on Western.

Everyone left happy! We had fish and chips, a salmon bowl, and a raspberry cocktail and a couple of local tap beers. Service was laid back but professional and prompt. The bar and dining area are pretty much one in the same but that was no problem. The fish and chips were not greasy and portions were big, and the salmon was nicely done. Tasty and not over or under cooked. As Goldilocks would say, "Just right!" Like I said this seems more like a pub than a restaurant, but that fits the bill if you want a laid-back, low-key, lunch or dinner. I'd happily return to Fado when in the area!

My husband and our friends each ordered the fish and chips and finished their plates. My very favorite bite though was the smoked salmon appetizers. I will dream about those perfect little wonders for a long time!

The ambiance is one of my favorite parts. It has that cozy Irish pub feel but still feels lively and fun, whether you are there for brunch or dinner. It is the kind of place you can sit, relax, and really enjoy your time. Overall, just such a great spot with amazing food, great service, and a really good atmosphere.

We stopped in on a Friday midafternoon (May 2026), and found a moderate crowd, good food, and good service. For starters, we had perfect calamari. Crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. It went well with the medium-spicy salsa they provided. This is already a win with any cold beer and any game on their many tvs! We would definitely it get again! We had their shepherd's pie: really flavorful Guinness Irish beef stew under a deliciously creamy layer of parmesan mashed potatoes, nicely crunchy on the outside with a lightly toasted top, and Irish soda bread. Delicious and satisfying! We loved the pastrami reuben sandwich, and we're not even big fans of sauerkraut in a sandwich. But in O'Toole's version, everything came together in a perfect union - the pastrami, the thousand-island dressing, the sauerkraut, and the griddled marble rye. We deliberately left off the Swiss cheese, and maybe that's the trick (for us) to balance the sauerkraut? Well, it worked nicely this way. We were still there towards the end of their weekday 3-6pm happy hour, so we got the $9 Chicago Handshake! A shot of Mälort & an OldStyle chaser! "Mälort-face" free of charge!
