"Fado Irish Pub, known for its live music, trivia nights, and popular Irish coffees, has permanently closed after a 22-year run. The pub, which debuted in March 1998, was famous for its fish and chips made with wild-caught North Atlantic cod and corned beef and sausages prepared by third-generation Vermont butchers." - Tierney Plumb

I had a beet salad with lots of substitutions. #allergygirl had avocado, oranges and walnuts changed to almonds and pears. While the flavor was good the salad was a bit limp. The pita looks great until you turned it over... it was very burned. They did make it right and the next one was soft and perfect. The service was terrible our drinks (tea and water) were never refilled. Even after I asked. It was trivia night and that was fun!

The location is perfect! The service was very good! The food was okay. The chicken tenders were really good but the shepherds pie was not so great. The drinks were good too! They have a great selection!

This is one of my favorite Irish Pubs in the city. They have really great specials on drinks. The shepherds pie and old fashioned are a cant miss here. Highly recommend this spot for a pre and post drink if attending a Capital One arena event.

A nice, standard Irish pub in downtown DC. Many choices of Guinness beer among many other drinks. The roasted red pepper hummus appetizer tastes great if you are looking for a snack! The service was a bit slow, but overall it has a pleasant atmosphere.

Today was the day my friend and I discovered the Chicken Boxty Quesadillas. No tortillas here. Instead, Mexican-flavored chicken filling is served inside Irish potato pancakes. If you love latkes, you should try these delicious appetizers. The fish and chips were crispy and not greasy. We'll have to come back on a Friday when they're BOGO. I hope some day they'll bring back the Boxty entree. Not a light lunch, but it was so good.

Food is good. Atmosphere is not. Way too loud in all the wrong ways. Drinks are cheap but they also tasted kind of cheap. Pick your poison I suppose. Definitely recommend sitting at the bar for faster service.

The food was great and the table service was good for the amount of people who were in the bar. The only downside is they needed more people working the bar, we were passed over about 9 times before we were waited on but the bartender was very apologetic & very friendly. Place looks great inside.

The pub was regular like any other pub. The bar tender was nice. I just wanted to nibble on something so I ordered chicken fingers and fries. The chicken was tender and moist but they could make a “signature” sauce to make it special or garnish it a little.
