Fadó Irish Pub

When i visited, it was a rainy day so there were just a few people but I'm sure it can be very busy at times. The place itself was very good. The waitress was quick and attentive. I had some buffalo chicken, a couple of beers and a bread pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious. There also was a girl with a microphone asking some kind of trivia which made it a bit weird when you just wanna go and chill out in peace, but it was not that bad. I will return for sure.

I went here for lunch, the outside of the establishment gave off bar vibes I was going to pass it up but I decided to say when I looked at the menu. We sat outside where they allowed pets which I didn't like because there was a dog barking when people walk by. My food that I ordered was a salad it was different because it had beet hummus which I never had it was very good the only thing I did not like is the minute amount of greens they had on my plate I didn't have a side salad I ordered a salad entree. When I let the waiter know he also brought out more spring greens, but they charged me for it which I did not like! But I paid for it overall the place has great food I don't think I would sit inside it seems old. But the food was very good and our waiter was great. The prices were not bad either for an establishment in the Buckhead area

It was a little slow getting somebody to come to the table and had to ask for it to be wiped, but it was nearing the end of happy hour, so I’m sure they were just pretty busy. By the time we ordered, it was technically a few minutes past, but they still honored happy hour pricing. Everything was delicious, served quickly by a friendly young lady. I had the cabbage rolls which were even better than I expected and my husband had the fish tacos (that I sampled) and they were also wonderful. My son had the shepherd’s pie that he gobbled up as if he were starving, but he did verbally say it was great. He didn’t eat the salad, but I ate some and it was very fresh. His friend had the fish and chips cup and he really enjoyed that. Music was decent and good volume and the decor was fitting.

Friendly service in a beautiful, traditional pub look. Live music on weekends. Big screens for games. There's ample outdoor seating. The food is meh, which is the main thing keeping this from meeting five stars

I chose this place to meet up with a work friend. The service is great. Perfect Guinness and Smithwick pours. The menu was good, and they were flexible with my keto diet. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area.

As I dipped my soft pretzel into the golden hot cheese and sipped my dark brown libation, I was hoping the rest of my fair would be as good as the start. I was not disappointed. Everything was brilliant. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. And for Buckhead the prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to go back and gain another 5 pounds.

My friends and I went to Fados for St Patrick’s day and has the best time! Food, live music, and staff were great! Looking forward to going back and using the coupons we received from the event!

Amazing food. Shepherds pie, lamb dip, and fish and chips were out of this world. Nice atmosphere and good service.

The huge, immaculate space is what I appreciate the most about this beautiful pub. It oozes a traditional atmosphere and I noted the centerpiece bar has a shape that affords privacy if you want that (rare at a bar, but they have spaces artfully sectioned off). Don't worry if, unlike me, you're an extrovert because there's plenty of open space at the bar, too. We had the nicest server. While we were there at one of those in between lunch and dinner hours, she was as attentive as could be, without being overbearing. I stuck to one glass of bubbles and my husband appreciated the large selection of tap beer and bar fare. Not much to choose from if you're plant-based, but I wasn't here to eat. It's a swell place for a drink and a break from whatever it is you're doing in this area (shopping, I'm guessing).

I ordered a chicken sandwich from this location via uber eats. My sandwich arrived hot and they followed directions by adding blu cheese on the side. Very delicious and I look forward to visiting in person.

We came here on St Paddy's day this year to start the day off right with an irish breakfast and some drinks. The service was the low point. She got our drinks out quick (a pint of Guinness to start the day) But then took forever to come get our food order. And we were starving! But the food got there. We got a full irish breakfast with eggs over easy. It was a great meal! I enjoyed every part of it! It was a busy day, so I hate to beat on the service too bad. But the food and drinks were great. The menu looked awesome! I would like to come back and try some different food.

Came here one night when it was cold and rainy, and this place was warm and cozy inside. Had some great comfort food, the Shepherds Pie, which was likely the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the "side salad" I was served with it had much to be desired. Full bar with lots of draft offerings, including some of your favorite Irish brews. Service was adequate.

Nice atmosphere, decent food and drinks. We went for the Georgia Texas game & they had it playing on the smallest TV. Four patrons asked for the game to be moved to the larger TV (Florida & Kentucky two unranked teams) and the manager (the only FL fan in the building) declined stating Fado is a "Florida bar." Seeing as how we are in the state of Georgia and several people wanted to see the other game I felt this was poor business strategy. We moved to another section of the pub that was playing the game and got to the second quarter without getting service... most likely because nobody wanted to watch the Florida game, so everybody was at the other side of the bar. This overwhelmed the one server. We ended up leaving early and going elsewhere. Maybe they can get a Georgia booster to sponsor the bar instead of FL!

Food was amazing. My family and I just split some of the appetizers. The fried goat cheese was my favorite !! The jalapeño honey is perfect with it. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day. Ambiance inside is best as the patio is a little small, but didn't mind. Patio is dog friendly and they even had a doggy menu. Lastly, my mojito did not taste like a mojito at all and was a little disappointed. Irish coffee was really good. Will be back!

We love Fado! The salmon bites are good, and Nathan the bartender always takes good care of us.

The menu is posh. The food is delicious but it's only barely pub food. All the dishes have been polished up and some have been added that no pub anywhere would think to serve. NOT A COMPLAINT. Just a statement. Service is good. Ambience is lacking. It's a pub and all but the menu is begging for white tablecloths and the TVs, a more collegial atmosphere. Atlanta United no longer seems to be the showcase if pro football is on. Something to keep in mind.

Worst service ever. It took 20 min for two beers, no greetings, no water, no menu, nothing. The waitress was really bad with no manners at all. We tried to asked help from another waitress and she just ran away. I understand they're responsible for different sessions but still, the attitude was horrible. DO NOT go to this place. We deserved to be treated better.

Started watching the euro cup here and enjoy every visit! From the bartenders, hosts and other visitors, the vibe has been very welcoming. All recommendations from bartenders haven't disappointed me either. Definitely a new fave spot of mine

Very cute, old timey irish pub located in the heart of Buckhead. Came here on a Friday night and parking was surprisingly easy. There is a parking lot right outside of the pub, however you do have to pay. Upon walking in, we were seated with no wait since there was no big game that day. However, the pub did have live music playing that night which was fun! As for food, Fadó serves pretty typical bar food that would make a decent game day snack.

Visiting from LA with a big group, and Mike made our experience unforgettable! Despite us being a bit of a handful, Mike was super patient and gave great food recommendations that totally hit the mark. He kept the car bombs coming and made sure our bottomless mimosas were always topped off. His service was so friendly and attentive, making our day that much better. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and top-tier service, this is the spot--be sure to ask for Mike when you go!

Came here for the Champions Game final and it was packed! Has all the regular drinks/beers you'd expect from a normal bar (including tequila high noons). Food recs: Shepards Pie was delicious, hot wings were solid, and fried goat cheese balls were amazing. Pass on the Guinness Mac and cheese

Came here to watch English Premier league soccer on a Sunday. It was not crowded at all. It's probably either Sunday morning or it's not an important game. Got Guinness beer on draft, which was excellent. I really the decor, which made me feel like I was in Europe. Chicken wings were good and egg Benedict was tasty. I would come back to watch soccer again

Fado's is a nice open-concept Irish bar. Our bartender, Alexa, informed us there was a recent renovation, which certainly modernized the pub. My girlfriend and I visited on a Monday night and she frequents here regularly. I got the impression it's either completely empty as it was on this particular Monday or completely crowded with a line out the door (specifically on game days). There are multiple TVs to watch the games and 2 levels to choose from. We both had an Irish coffee, very strong and flavorful. I would have preferred more creamer vs. foam. The fish and chips were tasty and came with a side of coleslaw. Perfectly crisp, golden fries and quality fish. The service was great considering we were one of few at the bar. I appreciated the self-service validated parking.

In town for the weekend. Staying just a block away - we usually love Irish pubs. But sadly I wasn't fully happy with the experience here. The ambiance was nice, but the food was only okay, along with the service. It's a seat yourself type of atmosphere. We sat at the bar and nobody noticed us there for about 15 minutes. That's fine - moving along. The drink I ordered was a strawberry lemon drop - suuuuper good (and v tart - my fave). Boyfriend got a beer. The appetizer was the fried goat cheese - we expected it to be an equal part cheese to batter. I personally didn't care for it but my boyfriend ate 3/4 balls lol. The cheese is very abundant and poignant. It's like a thin layer of batter around it. For entree I got the zucchini noodles and shrimp and he got the lamb dip sandwich. Both were pretty good but nothing to be impressed about. The gravy for the dip sandwich was pretty thick, we're used to thinner au jus so that was slightly different. But overall - not horrible experience. But not our favorite.

I came here for lunch on Thursday afternoon at noon. It was pretty empty as they had just opened, so it's great if you have a large party. Service was pretty quick with the group we had. I ordered the Lunch Fish and Chips (supposed to be $14.95) and it was pretty tasty. The fish was kinda oily, but pretty on par with average oiliness. Not excessive, but wish it was less. Fish was nice and flakey! Fries were good as well and nicely seasoned. When I got my bill, the total before tip was around $20 which I was shocked about? After tip it was $25. When I looked at the lunch menu earlier it said $14.95 and I even checked online to write this review. Maybe I was just charged the dinner price at noon? I was with my co-workers and needed to get back to the office so I didn't cause a fuss, but pretty disappointed in that. If you charge for a dinner portion, it would be nice to get that dinner portion. Mishap, yes? But, I would like to give the benefit they would have changed it if I brought it up. My co-worked LOVED the chicken tenders while another did not like the reuben at all!

Omg, the pretzels are huge!!!!!! Bar is fully stocked: from a tequila sunrise to Long Island, a traditional jack and coke to vodka sprite. This pub has all the right ingredients, staff, and safety in place with Covid. Live music some nights, with a small dance floor; and again, that pretzel! I don't have a picture because I was too involved with it, but order it if you dine-in (perfect for 2-3 people). Dress: Casual- the atmosphere is dimmed lighting, and the crowd is inviting. Gypse Kitchen is two blocks away as well, so you can skip over there too for a "Fifty Shades of Purple" as well!

the food is delicious! there is so many different things on the menu. it is a nice and clean place and when i went there the service was pretty friendly. it can be really loud.. when there is soccer. i like watching soccer so its fine but it could be overwhelming for some people. overall i LOVE THIS PLACE! also i love how its in buckhead village!

Took forever to be served, then when we were, only two of our 3 drinks came, and for the last one it took 30 minutes for me to get my drink and i had to walk to the bar to get my drink. The server never checked on us, not to mention if you are an international you better bring your passport because they don't take international IDs. I love Irish bars, but this one was far below my standards.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Thank you for being so accommodating to our large group!

Go during the day and sit at Russell's bar. This man was born to be a bartender. Complete w English accent, it seems like he just left his old job at a London pub yesterday.

Fire food, good beer, good service. Always a good spot to go for a night if you like a good Irish pub. Only downside is no free parking but that's buckhead for you.

Great place to catch a game, eat wings, and share a traditional Guinness pour in an Ireland themed restaurant.

Service was terrible. There is no host and we sat for 30 minutes without being served while tables all around us were getting food and drinks.

Great spot for Brunch! Usually filled with people watching whatever game is on. When it's not crowded they have bottomless mimosas and a delicious corn beef and cabbage dish! The people are always friendly. The only downside is their hours and deals (like bottomless mimosas) aren't always consistent. Sometimes I've popped by there and they have been closed though it was during normal business hours.

I walked in wanting a Guinness and an Irish breakfast. Here is the bullet point review: Bar dirty Cannot get the Wi-Fi password - received a shrug from the bartender Guinness is served too cold & poured too quickly. Crispy black, burnt ends on the sausages x the centers were nice though Rubber eggs (over medium but the edges were brown and appeared to be an over hard) The puddings were nice, especially the black Mushrooms were meh. The stems needed to be trimmed The Irish bacon tasted good & had a bit of color though they were drier than I like

Came here for St. Patrick's Day, and it feels mostly normal. The big issue is for some reason they've decided that they can't serve you a beer and a glass. Despite the fact that most every other place simply washes their glassware. A $10 beer out of a plastic cup, just doesn't taste the same. I won't be going back until they start glassware again. I don't know why they think that a dishwasher won't kill Covid. Every other restaurant that I go to gives me we glassware, real silverware and real plates.

It is an Irish Pub, but a better than the normal one so I give it four stars. It makes me cringe a little because other places I give four stars are on such a higher level of the atmosphere, food, and drinks, but for an Irish Pub, this is my favorite. It also has enough "normal" food on the menu that my nieces had choices for lunch. Many of the places around here are too specific cuisines for my nieces, and they couldn't find options they would try. It is also a perfect place to watch sports, Atlanta... United!, and hang out with your friends. Don't expect fast service as it is Irish. They make a decent old fashioned even though they don't use the correct cherry. All the food I have had here is good. It is maybe one of my favorite black bean burgers since Vortex doesn't have theirs anymore. The chicken quesadilla and Reuben made my friends happily full one time when I visited while another time, the quesadilla and burger made my nieces happy, and a salad made my sister happy.

Great place to watch EPL on the weekends! $15 bottomless mimosas and good brunch options. Tables can be limited for later games, so try to get there early.

I love the food at Fado's, especially the chicken tenders. Basic AF but please leave if you can't appreciate a good piece of fried. I love the beer batter and the generous serving they give you as a "snack." Because of the pandemic, they serve a limited menu, which sucks because the wedges with cheese dip are fcuking fire. BRING THEM BACK! I need them! My friends and I shared both their house salad and the pear and blue cheese salad. The dressings for both are really good, and although i wouldn't ever drink it, Id sure as hell drown my salad in them. The reason for the low stars is because of their COVID practices. Our server kept bringing down her mask to her chin to speak to her tables. Which is I suppose fine if you want to get infected. But I would've appreciated it if she had kept hers on while speaking to us. We watched as she got within six inches of another patron to have a lengthy conversation, and it made us uneasy everytime she interacted with us. However, she was attentive and nice, so I can't hate on her too much. Unless, of course, I test positive....

Favorite bar in Buckhead. Really liked atmosphere and the food was incredible. They also played the Chiefs game!

Downright the most disgusting bar I have ever been to. Waitstaff is EXTREMELY rude, not helpful and made fun of us. Do not go, save your money and go somewhere else.

Great bar and staff, decor is awesome too. Right in the heart of Buckhead and walking distance to other restaurants. Great spot to watch soccer and any sporting event at. TheBreakfast Boxty is more like an omelette, but it was still really tasty, and their breakfast potatoes are amazing!

Went to watch World Cup, and the atmosphere was electric. Watched multiple games and had a blast with the friendly crowd! The service and food were great, and of course, enjoyed several of the best Guinness pints in town.

In town from Kansas City and wanted to watch the Chiefs game somewhere. Showed up here and they delivered!! best service around I've had in ATL all week!

As good as it gets! Great ice cold beer which was incredibly fresh tasting. Love the English soccer

Went back here for brunch. Really enjoyed the food options, and service was quite attentive. This spot has an interesting vibe. It can be calm and relaxing; it can also be exciting and borderline boisterous. I would be happy to return

If pubs are your thing then you need to visit Fadó Irish Pub in Buckhead. They currently have new business hours, but the customer service remains excellent. Upon arrival I found plenty of on street parking near the restaurant, and with a short walk I was at the entrance. I was warmly greeted, my afternoon reservation was found, and I then chose great outdoor dining on their covered patio. I chose high top bar seating. From this view you'll see passersby walking dogs, shoppers heading in, and out of nearby department stores, singles, and couples sitting on area benches, and socializing. Many people can be found out, and about, and enjoying a beautiful summer afternoon. The atmosphere is full of moving good energy. For my entree I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, and thick cut fries. This grilled all-beef patty, American cheddar, Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion topped burger is worth the visit to Fadó! The side of hot, and perfectly seasoned fries was the right choice. If you haven't visited Buckhead dining options lately. You now have a new reason to. Thank you for reading, and sharing this blog Dining Today!  For your next dining out experience I hope it's amazing, and make sure you are wearing fantastic accessories from  Diary Talk And More.

Friday was the first BOOKCLUB meeting of the year and we were excited. It was a good friends turn to pick the location and book. So, she went with Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant. Let me tell you about my experience. Well, here we go: Fado Irish Pub is located on the High End Shopping area in Buckhead. On my way, I passed by some of the most expensive stores in Atlanta. The pub sits directly next to the Buckhead Library. They offered Valet parking but, we went with parking at the library for $7, which would cover the parking for the night. As we waited for the other girls, I started for the bar just to have a drink as we waited. However, mins later the girls were there and we were seated in a nice little corner away from the noise. I looked around and admired the space and the music. They had a DJ playing during happy hour and was still there when we left 8:00PM. We were greeted by our waitress Shana! OMG she was AWESOME! She didn't missed a beat, she suggested the best menu items on the list and I was listening because I was hungry, LOL. She gave us different menus: Drinks and Food. On the dinner menu, everything in red was happy hour items and were $6/each. Most of the girls ordered appetizers, including me, lol I ordered the Roasted red pepper hummus, which was garnished with feta cheese, mint oil with a choice of boxty wedges, flatbread or veggies. I went with the boxty wedges. OMG! Boxty wedges was almost like a pita chip but softer and the flavor was AWESOME! I ate the wedges so quick, she had to bring me some more and a second order was $1. As far as cocktails, I went with a Manhattan! I hadn't enjoyed a Manhattan in years. Great stiff drink. A Manhattan is a Black Bush Irish Whiskey, Carpano Antica Vermouth, Angostura bitters, garnished with a Luxardo cherry Classic Version with Crown Royal Rye. I also had water. I wanted to order something a tad bit different for dinner, but couldn't decide, so I went with a burger. lol. I ordered the Classic Cheesy Double Stack, two Angus beef patties, American cheese, lettuce, NO tomato, EXTRA pickles on a potato bun. My side was the farmhouse salad with blue cheese and no tomato. The farmhouse salad mixed greens, cucumber, red onions, dried cranberries, toasted almonds and Asiago cheese. The burger was the BOMB, very flavorful! I had no room for dessert. LOL and neither did the girls. We sat for a while and discussed our book. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves. Before the night was out, I observed the scenery and the decor of the old books and bikes in the restaurants(Pictures attached). We finished the night with a great picture outside, among the beautiful light on the trees. Thanks Shana and Fado!

I just happened across this place while I was walking around. Been dying to try it out. It's really cute and well decorated. I really like everything inside. Service is good, not great. I had to ask for water and silverware. They might be a little understaffed which is OK. No one was rude everyone was really nice. I got shrimp tacos which were pretty good. I got the spritzer drink which took a long time to make and it was a little watered down- not as strong as I thought it would be. I also got the brownies with ice cream which wasn't that good. The brownies were dry and not that flavorful and the ice cream wasn't my favorite. Overall it's a great bar they have lots of selections for drinks and it's a fun place to go. They do have TVs inside. It's a cute place for friends to meet up to do some work. I did see people on a date there but I'm not sure it's the best place to go on a first date unless you just wanna grab a drink. It's in a beautiful location and there's street parking. Prices are also very decent. I would definitely go here again just to hang out and watch the game or something and grab a beer. My 3 stars is for the watery cocktail that took too long to make and the average food.

Amazing location to watch the game. Its big and spacious. The interior and ambiance is very different and nice. The best part was they opened early for the games and we were able to go in at 9. They served brunch and the food was great as well. We got eggs benedict and fish and chips. I recommend both of those. The staff was friendly and everything was great honestly. Will be back!

Super spot to catch World Cup and anything soccer related really. Jessica was amazing during the US match today and all pub food was great for snacking. Deliciously cold Stella on draft.

First visit - 4 stars My first visit was some time in May 2017. I had always been wanting to go to Fado for their fish & chips. There is always something about fish & chips that lures me into a place. I honestly don't know why there is this attraction about fish & chips that had on me. Someone told me Fado's fish & chips was pretty good. Finally I had a chance to visit Fado and ordered the dish. Fado is an Irish pub, not exactly my type of eating place. I mean I had been to many pubs in London when I stayed with my brother for weeks. I usually just had lunch there. I don't drink, I am allergic to alcohol. However, I do find some times the pubs (at least in London) do have really good food. However, as a general preference, I prefer a nice quiet restaurant to have my lunch or dinner. So my first time at Fado, we were seated on those tall chairs. My company teased I looked out of place. I just smiled. He went on and teased that I looked too prissy to be there. I was not amused. Ugh! I just wanted my fish & chips!! The place was definitely noisy. Then again it was expected to be noisy. I was glad finally my order of fish & chips was out. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Would I order it again, most definitely cos I could not find any better fish & chips in Atlanta. 2nd visit - 2 stars Fast forward to my 2nd visit which was last night. I did not order any food but just Shirley Temple. The service was so slow. Warrant we were a big group (about 15 of us) but I could not believe everyone got their drinks and some of them food, yet my friend never get his coke. Seriously, it was just coke, just gave him a can of coke and some ice already. When he asked the staff, he was told it was coming. The coke never came. Eventually he told the server to forget about that coke. I asked my friend to just take my glass of water. I was not happy he did not get his drink, it was so ridiculous cos how hard was it to get a soft drink? The staffs were friendly and nice but that was it. They could not really cope and some of us were given someone else burger or beer. It was funny but really not. One of the guys at my table said the next time Theresa would suggest the venue. You can bet I would not suggest Fado for a party more than 5 persons. I had fun though but just strictly cos of the company.

I've been here twice. I came here for the unlimited $25 Moscow mules on Friday nights. I also ordered the Big Soft Pretzel. The Moscow mules are great. You also have the option of ordering the regular or with strawberry. Another time I was here for brunch. I ordered the belgian waffles and the hashbrowns. Both were so delicious. The waffles came with a brown sugar spread that was great!

I've been coming to this place for one day now...the staff, food, and over-all vibes are on fucking point! The MGMT and servers/bar all love one another and have fun talking trash while they work//have fun. They also care about their clients and treat regulars and new people with respect. Def glad I almost got hit by a car jogging and discovered this spot CC Tosha4.0. In the words of my Uncle Arny,I'll be back!

This place is pretty great for a particular scene. Not everything on their amazing is blow your taste buds up BUT... their fish and chips is the best I've had anywhere in Atlanta. If you're going to go here, I strongly suggest it! This location has an amazing rooftop where I've done my birthday in the past. It's laid out beautifully and the atmosphere is always fun. It gets particularly crazy on game days, especially if futbol is on. Fun music, fun vibe, it's just an overall good place to come chill out with your friends.

Just ok. We had appetizers, Cheese Dip and Wedges and Sweet Chili Jumbo Wings. Both were tasty, however, there were far too little cheese for the wedges and only 2 of the 5 wings were jumbo. Two of the wings were very tiny and didn't appear to be a whole wing. Wine was perfectly measured to the ounce
