Fado Irish Pub

So I was in town for 3 nights and had the same thing two different nights. The shepherds pie is awesome and the consistency was really good both times I had it. The black and tans were great. Atmosphere is low key with great service. Can’t recommend enough, especially if you’re an Irish pub person.

Food was excellent. We had the corned beef rolls, fish & chips, shepherd’s pie, and a glass of Red Velvet. Service was fast and our server provided good suggestions. I knocked a star off of the atmosphere because the seats seemed really close to each other and the floor seemed sticky.

I went there with my son, we got the pretzel, pub fries, chicken sandwich, and I had a drink. The bar tenders were helpful and friendly, the food was very tasty, the atmosphere was great, other people there, futbol on the TV, not too loud.

Edit 10/11/24 - adding photos and had a much better experience with service. Original review below. Small irish pub themed place that plays sports typically on the bar tvs, has outdoor and heated patio seating, and great comfort food. Been coming here for years. My favorite regular meal is a crabbies with fish and chips. However I do think the service and quality has slightly declined through the years, but not so much that it prevents me from returning. My last visit: Cheese dip with boxty. I LOVE their boxty, personally. It's a potatoey, soft and crunchy bread with a cheese dip that has like a pico in it. No complaints! It's heavy, not a light starter. Salmon entree. I decided to try something new. A+. The fish was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Columbus places often struggle with salmon (either sad, rubbery and white or downright undercooked). Good work. The bed of greens was great. I'm coming back for this. My co-diners spicy bloody mary didnt seem to have hot sauce in it only a small bit of pepper. Bland. I got a mule which was okay, then a crabbies. Didn't give me a lime with me drink. If the service becomes a little more tentative (it used to be top tier, loved the service there) and breathe a little life into the interior with a little "spit"shine, 5 stars. Love this location for its noatalgia, memories, and great comfort food.

We got in just before the rush. Our server greeted us promptly and returned with our beverages. We ordered apps for lunch. The food came out without delay. The wings were fantastic and generous in size. The corned beef rolls could have used a bit more punch but were tasty. The salmon bites were super yummy. The pretzel was huge to say the least but the $14 price tag stung a bit. The Guinness N/A seemed a bit watered down and the unsweetened iced tea was quite pale. All in all it was a good experience. The soccer crowd truly enjoyed the games and the staff were all super friendly.

Food was delicious - and huge portion, I could only eat half of my short rib Guinness Mac and Cheese - and service was great. I sat at the bar and the bartender, Echo, was amazing! 10/10 will come back!

3.5 atars.We ate for restaurant week 2025. Out of Brussel sprouts. Caesar salad was good nice size but a bit too salty. Chicken dinner was good. Bread pudding was also good but would be better warmed up.

The waitress was outstanding, split a full order of fish and chips which was not very good. The chips were nice but the fish was really just oil soaked. The coating of the fish when broken was oil literally running out. The place has a nice vibe and rather relaxing. Next time I will try something new.
