I love the atmosphere here escpisally for when a good football match is on. The food is excellent and the Guinness is cold! Our server Autumn was very friendly and helped us navigate the menu and find meals we would enjoy! All around a great place for a meal and some good memories!
I liked the restaurant. It had a nice atmosphere. Very busy. So busy that we weren’t able to be seated at a normal table. They had to make one for us and the upstairs seating was blocked off for use. Had to pay for street parking. Overall it was a good experience.
As always, food is delicious and staff kind and efficient. One of my fave places.
Wings were hot and perfect flavor, thick blue cheese with it. The Reuben was great... and my cider was tasty. No one pushy, just nice and helpful bartender. Thank you.
On August 17th, I decided to try Fado Irish pub for the first time before I went to see Flogging Molly. I got a Guinness and some goat cheese at the time because I had just eaten at steak and shake earlier in the afternoon. I was so impressed by the scenery and atmosphere at the Buckhead that I wanted to show my family, namely my dad, the establishment. I spent my birthday at the midtown Atlanta location, but that was less about the Irish atmosphere and more about just a place to see the game.Yesterday my dad and I went to Buckhead they do some record shopping at Fantasyland records and then afterwards we were going to grab a bite at Fados Irish pub and restaurant. I was helping my mom would come with us,but she had just gotten done with a 8 hour shift and she was ready to rest up for the day. So I took some pictures so she knows what to come to expect for when she is able to come with us. This time I was able to bring an appetite and I ordered the Fado pub Burger and a Guinness black and black for my meal.Incidentally, the pub was much more crowded and I should have known better because it was during college football season. Compared to the first time during the mid afternoon it was a lot less crowded in much more peaceful, but during the evening its much more crowded and lively. so next time I will most likely grab some lunch there when its not very lively in the Buckhead area. There are plenty of beverages and food that I would like to try someday. Its almost like being in Ireland but without the passport and for somebody of Celtic Roots like myself thats a real nice treat.
Good pub food, salmon bites are pretty good. Also, the atmosphere here for soccer games is on point. Friendly staff are a plus and elevate the place.
The service was a little slow, but they made up for it when I got my food. The fish tacos I ordered for happy hour are probably the best tasting fish tacos I have ever had. Worth the price and worth the wait. This is a busy little place, but it has a great vibe and a huge selection of drinks, including whiskey and wines.
Great place to have a 1 or two drinks
Best place in Atlanta to watch a Chelsea match
Excellent corn beef and cabbage meal .....I had to get two orders! The bread pudding is off the chain ⛓️. Will definitely recommend 👌🏾 #iwillbeback
Food excellent, service from waitress was awful. Some others helping her were good but it took 15min to get a beer, never got waters, took another 15min to get second beers. She spilled my beer and when she poured it, it was half foam.... just not a sharp waitress. I would give one star but that’s not fair for the company. She has to go though. Pretzel was impressive.
Cool place, but the service was awful. Bartender was inattentive and not friendly at all. Weve been here a few other times, and had good service, so we will be back.
TERRIBLE service. Took us 30 minutes just to get waters. We had to ask 3 people for waters before we actually got any. Our waitress was no where to be found for half the night. The food was cold. Just terrible.
Went for my 28th birthday, and I could not have made a better choice. The place was not too busy, most of the crowd was watching a podcast on one side of the pub, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.Our food was absolutely top notch, and not at all expensive. You can get in and out for the same cost as any generic sit down restaurant, but with much higher quality food. Our waitress, Emily, was busy but still tried to be attentive. Her dry humor personality was appreciated, always a smile too!The (what I believe) manager on staff who had taken the reservation, Nick, was on hand and also stopped by once to ensure everything was going smoothly. Overall an excellent experience! Parking is free with restaurant validation!
The drinks were great. I really enjoyed their Old Fashioned. The food was just okay, but The dessert was delicious! (I had the bread pudding). They could use a little more speed with theor service, but I will be returning!
Ive been going here for two years now and its the Pub to watch the Blues of West London. Come on Down!Google Atlanta Blues
Didnt have the beer I wanted but I tried something else. Food and service were both great
Been coming here for gator games and its still an awesome place. Grab a pint and watch some sports and enjoy your life. Always a good time
Awesome fun family event. Went there this weekend for a Wedding Shower. The roof top deck is outstanding. Whitney and Tori were our bartenders and servers and could have not been nicer, friendlier and helpful. Food was excellent - Shepard pies, fish & chips, deviled eggs were a hit. This is a really great venue for a special gathering.
Great place to watch Formula 1 races with the locals. Early events you can get some very nice brunches.The Irish breakfast was perfect.Gotta try it!
First time at this Irish pub and I like the atmosphere. Will return
Nice, friendly welcome, all very clean. We just grabbed a quick drink before lunch.
Good Irish pub, we went on st. Patricks day so was pretty crowded and noisy. Food was good.
Great service, hot, fast and delicious meals! Had the crispy Buffalo chicken sandwich which was fresh and juicy, with the best crispy potato wedges on the side. Will be back!
Had the fish & chips and it was good. Numerous TVs to watch the games on and good customer service.
IRISH BREAKFAST served all day and night! ADD THICK CHIPS AND BEANS for the full Monty experience like you can get all over Great Britain. And specify what kind of toast you want. Other than that, let kitchen do their SWEET thing their way.THNX,RUSS!
We didnt expect it but we got a straight sports bar experience! There was a football game on and tons of yelling and cheering. I ordered the dinner size fish and chips. The tartar sauce was good but the fish couldve had more flavor.
Awesome place to watch the game or to just hang around and chat for a bit. Good food, good drinks, and good staff!
Had a work event Happy Hour. Loved the place. Great bites and drinks.
The first time I visit any restaurant I order the fish n chips. Its not as easy to make as it might seem, and its a favorite dish, so I use it to test a place. The menu states Fadó has the best fish and chips in Atlanta, and its not just boasting. This is absolutely a top contender. The fish is perfectly flaky and crispy, and the chips are hearty. I can absolutely recommend it.
The food is always a plus in my book. But i went to try their friday bottomless Moscow Mules. Im definitely going back! That was a major plus plus plus!and the bartender was very kind and attentive even though hhe crowd was thick.
I so love a good Irish pub, and even though Fado is a chain, they got it right! Three floors, loads of tvs for any sporting event, and a great wait staff. To top it off, I havent had a dish I didnt enjoy. Oh yeah, THE coldest tap beer in Atlanta. If youre in town, Fado is a must!
Loved the atmosphere and had a great meal! Porotions we great for what you payed for and the staff was very friendly. Drink prices were reasonable for happy hour.
Stopped by for an afternoon snack and drink. Very good. Will go again.
Had a great interior and beautiful bar area. Fun, but bartender man got quite frustrated with the tipsy group. Isnt that part of their job...relax. people are coming here for fun and good spirits....like the Irish!
Went to watch a F1 race, had a great Irish breakfast a well.
The service was prompt and attentive. The food was tasty but seemed expensive. Maybe its just Atlanta.It was good to be with Family.
Awesome service, we had bottomless mimosas.. and a plethora of delicious food. The waitress was amazing. I feel bad because I think we had so many mimosas I forgot to tip her. ☹️ We will definitely go back and I hope she is still there.
Manager was rude. Irish Brunch items are advertised as using Sourdough and American items use just Toast. But, apparently, they only serve Multigrain and sourdough toast. Sourdough bread taste like regular white toast. It’s just a marketing tactic to make the items seem “Irish.” The manager said, and I quote, “you’re the only one that’s ever complained about the toast.” Who cares? It’s not accurate!
Best English food and football. Like being back in the UK on game days.
Great Irish pub.
Went for a birthday dinner. Sat out on the patio and had a wonderful time.
I drove an hour and a half to come to this establishment because it’s one of my favorites in Atlanta, and based off of their Google hours they should be open until 10pm. I show up at 7:30 and they’re closed, what’s the point of having ours posted if you can’t let your customers know when to be here. Thats really bad customer service. I get if it was an emergency and they had to close, but they just change their hours and didn’t bother to update any of their pages. Super disappointed and definitely the last time I drive hours to come here. What a shame. Also would life to add that I had to pay $10 for parking which was a giant waste since we didnt get to eat. 😑
I went here the first time this afternoon to watch football and all televisions were on soccer.I asked a bartender do they play nfl games and she said yes. She said after soccer and I asked did she have an idea of the time and she said I dont know.(Now if you work where they do this on a weekly basis you could give me an average time... but ok.)So I left and went to another bar and came back after halftime. No one greets me. I asked a server if she knew which TV had my game on, (Ive never been here before and didnt want to walk around wandering) She said, I dont know and walked away.I then sat at the bar and the bartender from earlier just looked at me while others never said a word. I left!So rude!
A special shout-out to Russell for opening up early Sunday morning for the final Abu Dhabi Formula 1 race. Great service and Hospitality. Thank you!
I wasnt necessarily excited that the group had mad a reservation at the pub for dinner - who likes pub food? But this was GOOD Irish pub food. Several people had the shepherds pie and all said they were impressed, one person had a burger and said it was delicious. I had the chicken curry and I would order it again. Appetizers were good as well - a huge pretzel with sauces, the cheese dip with very good wedges of a type Ive never had before, and fried goat cheese. I was very impressed with the food quality.
In the most unreliable of times, Fado is always a constant. Safely serving great food and drink in a lively and welcoming atmosphere.I will know when things are really back to normal -- Ill be in a busy pub, watching a great soccer game. Cant wait.Happy St Patricks Day, Fado! Cheers!
Had fun here for the Harry Potter Prom. The food was pretty good.
Ordered online for a St Patricks day dinner. Ordered 4 Corn beef and cabbage dinners plus other things. All for pick up. What a total disappointment. The carrot and cabbage were raw not cooked. The potatoes and Corn beef were plan at best. In fact the cornbeef was more like hash with no flavor.... we threw all 4 dinners in the Garbage Garbage.......
We always love coming here for Saturday/Sunday morning games. They have a great menu - we are never disappointed with the food. The guinness bbq wings, quesadilla, fish and chips, and fish tacos are some of our favorites. You cant beat $3 mimosas and their Irish Coffee is the best Ive ever had in my life. Also, they validate parking in the garage across the street. Love this place!
3pm on a Friday (World Series in town) and there’s two employees working. At the moment I’ve been sitting and waiting on my food at the bar for 40mins. Bartender hasn’t checked back to ask if I wanted another refill on beverage since I sat down. The service is terrible and I won’t be coming back even if the food is good.
My friends and I were really looking forward to eating here. The menu looked amazing, the atmosphere seemed warm and inviting and they’re an Atlanta United pub sponsor so we thought this would be an amazing place to watch the game this past weekend. The first red flag was when we walked in. There was a sign that said to seat yourself. This wouldn’t had been a big issue if we hadn’t made reservations and had to confirm those reservations earlier that morning. We went upstairs and had a drink before we decided to find a seat to watch the game. We found a table for the four of us near the bar and were greeted by a server. He asked if we were getting food. We said not now but we would probably order something later and we’d order more drinks after we finished the ones we had. About fifteen minutes later, all our glasses empty, no one had come back to our table. The table to the right of us was served promptly, they finished their food, got the check, the table was cleared, and a new couple sat down and was served by a different server then the one that greeted us. Each of us made eye contact with our server. I had my menu open and no drink. I am READY to order and at that point I was hungry, so I was ready to order food as well (my husband and I really wanted to try the chips and sauces). We finally give up and order from the bar. I want to stop here and say this wouldn’t have been a big deal if he hadn’t come up to our table right as we sat down to introduce himself or if he had told us we had to order from the bar. After having to order from the bar we decide to leave after this drink in the middle of the soccer game. While we are drinking a couple sits to the left of us. They are immediately greeted, get their drinks in record time, their food even arrives before we leave all done by the server that greeted us. We were sitting there for at least an hour with no service. I’m not one to make assumptions but I’m hoping this inexcusable bad service, no, lack of service was because of short staffing (which on a Saturday night, during a soccer game, as a pub sponsor is unacceptable) and not the fact that my friends and I were not sporting designer bags or heels but instead were wearing Atlanta United gear and sneakers. I hope that as a pub sponsor, they take my review to heart and try to treat everyone that comes into their establishment to spend money the same. I don’t think we’ll be returning any time soon.
Russell and crew are the best! I love being there Always an enjoyable time. Especially during the EPL season. Great place to watch the games.
Loved the cozy wood atmosphere inside, and the rooftop outdoor seating area was so beautiful. We loved the corned beef and cabbage; so good! (But it was on the smaller side.) Nice craft beer choices and lots of televisions downstairs for watching the game.
The staff were quick and very helpful! Our company happy hour (20+ guests) was a hit! Thank you Fado! 10/10 would do again.
Fadó is a very unique restaurant.First, there are many unique shops across the street, so its a terrific area in general.Fadó has many, MANY unique beers on draft, occasionally swapping one beer for the next, so seasonal beer drinkers will be happy. The liquor selection is also terrific.The food is amazing. The cooks spare no expense on the presentation and flavor of the dishes.I personally came to Fadó because of a recommendation outside of the city. I had no idea what to expect, but even at 11AM, the service was top-notch and the food was delicious.The staff were friendly and catered to every need. I never had to ask for anything.
First visit was to watch a England World Cup soccer match. Had a meal (fish and chips this time) and drinks. The food was very good (hot, fresh, good portions and tasty) and reasonably priced. Atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends after work or to take in a game. You have parking options, either valet at the door or parking in the pay deck across the street (free for 4 hours with validation). Highly recommended.
My wife and I go here often. The food is always delicious! If they have the jalapeno poppers on special they are a must! My favorite entree is the lamb dip. The service is very friendly, but sometimes a little bit slow and the food is reasonably priced. They have a very good beer selection, but it definitely isnt cheap with most beers costing over $8.
This was my first & only time visiting this Irish bar but Id definitely recommend it to anyone thats interested in having a few cold ones if you catch my drift. Good service & it has everything that youd want an Irish bar to have.
It’s a pretty good restaurant with both outdoor and indoor seating. We had beers and burgers!
Friendly staff and food was good, atmosphere was great 👍
I came here for a private event. The staff at the bar were attentive. The food, oh my, SO GOOD! The black bean burgers were delicious. Even my carnivorous friends loved it. The brownie bites were also really good. I had an old fashioned. Well made.
Loved it! Bottomless mimosas! Fish and chips were very tasty. Super chill atmosphere.
They all of a sudden allowed the football games and season to overtake their brunch and breakfast menu, first it was an excuse now they don’t have breakfast. It’s so annoying. that was literally the best thing. Their pancakes and everything. Now they don’t have much to them but drinking to watch rugby or something. We want the pancakes back please !!!!
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.
The go-to spot for rugby watching! They open up for the world cups at all odd hours imaginable. AND still serve some food. They got my loyalty for that alone. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Just make sure you don’t park in the library parking... the city will boot your car.
Excellent Irish pub with high-end flourishes and good food. Happy-hour pricing on food and beer during the afternoon soccer matches make this my favorite Atlanta soccer pub. Valet park or metered street parking. Saw Manchester United win the 2016 F.A. Cup here so always a special bar for myself!
It used to be open pretty late before the pandemic. Now they seem to be fine closing almost an hour before their posted times. Either post the hours you will work, or stop being lazy about them.
I am blown away by the hospitality, smiles, and level of professionalism displayed by all staff members (especially the bartender, Whitney) at Fado in Buckhead tonight. I was planning on having 1 beer and getting St. Patty’s Day take out, and ended up staying for two courses and multiple beers. The food was only outdone by the service! I know that tonight should have been the most lucrative night of the year; for the staff and the restaurant, but the vibe was nothing but positive and welcoming. This was my first visit and I will certainly be back! Thank you for allowing me to escape reality for a bit and providing a sense of normalcy in the midst of all this chaos! 🍀
Good food ,good service good draught beer and watched the. Premier ship games also .
They have König Ludwig Weissbier on draft. And I enjoyed it. Good place to watch football (soccer).
Best pub to watch EPL matches! The food is also great. Highly recommend.
Here early on an off night (monday). Fish and chips and wings were excellent. Ordered a half serving of fish and chips and it was still huge! Good service. A very nice pub. Not crowded but Im guessing thats because of my timing. Bartender and wait staff were prompt and friendly. Would easily recommend this place for dinner and drinks. Prices were very reasonable.
Fado is one of my favorite places to go in Buckhead. It is great if you like sports--soccer is especially fun here, although it gets extremely crowded for soccer games. It is great to head here with your girls, especially if you can grab a seat on their rooftop. If you can climb the stairs (the many stairs), it is worth the journey to the roof. They have done a great job of giving it a rooftop-garden feel with comfortable casual seating. The staff is always friendly as well.
My boyfriend and I came on October 10th to watch Football/The Atlanta United Game around 6:00 pm. I made a reservation but we were about 10-15 minutes late. We got there and they said they were full, I told them I had a reservation. Not only did they still have a table reserved for me, but it had my name on it! Our server was busy but very sweet and our drinks and food were great and she got to us as quickly as she could. Since my boyfriend and I had our Atlanta United jerseys on, the hosts/staff (although they were busy) made sure that we had a TV facing us with the game on. At one point another group asked them to put on another game so they again made sure we had the ATL UTD game on a TV near us. We actually had 2 major football games and the ATL UTD game on 3 TVs facing us and we could not have been happier. We were only 2 people but they really made us feel like VIPs. Ive always liked this place but they have my business forever now!
Quick service. Good food for happy hour and good prices.
The food was of great quality, and the service was amazing. The only problem was the volume of the games - it was so loud, we could barely hear ourselves think! Its a good place, but be aware of the noise if you have sensitive ears.
Yo this place is pretty good. Its a nice upscale irish pub atmosphere with good food. Wish they didnt get rid of the skillet chips 😭
Imagine a millennial and modern Irish pub concept. The food is great. There are a ton of mixed drinks. Beer is beer. Visited at a very busy time. I have zero complaints but there is no homey feeling or friendly feeling of a traditional Irish pub.
Delicious fun and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food and libations. I will return
Small, very casual, a bit hidden behind the rotary and ramp to the Fore River bridge. The fried seafood platter I got was quite good and filling. The people running this place are super nice, which counts for a lot these days. Ill be back.
Really nice spot. I prefer the Buckhead location to their Midtown spot. Great location with lots of space inside. I had good service and the food is pretty good for a big ol bar. Lots of activity and a diverse crowd for soccer and football. Check out the rooftop bar. Not the best views but still a nice option to have to step outside and grab some fresh air.
Very nice pub. One of the best in the area. Their irish drinks are really strong, infect strongest I ever had. It looks like very happening place. We went there on 1st January so was not expecting many people over there.Will surely go there if I get change again.
Love the atmosphere here. Food is pretty good too. Sometimes when gets busy waitstaff can get a little snippy. But overall a great hangout.
My third trip to Fadó. The food and service were outstanding as Ive come to expect. I was very disappointed in the live music this time. Previously, there were live bands that played a great variety of music for people to dance, and dance we did! This time, a duo on a Friday night and tables in the dance floor. Instead of staying for hours and enjoying the bar when we needed refreshing, we took an Uber elsewhere. Bring back the bands and get 5 stars!
Cool huuuge restaurant and building. A pretty good drink menu and I really enjoyed the bar layout. This building has multiple stories and I did not explore any but the first floor. Id certainly go back. Maybe earlier to get food
Went to fado yesterday- party of one. It took 50 minutes for me to get the chicken tenders and chips. When the food finally arrived, the tenders were as big as my index finger- there were 5 tenders. They were very greasy. The chips were cold.Needless to say it was a horrible experience. Will not return.The only good about the experience was the kind behavior of the bartender upstairs.
Would have been perfect, if Iceland had won! ;-) Amazing bar though!
I called at 9:00 to ask when the kitchen closed, the woman on the phone asked and said it would be 10:00. After a 16 hour work day, all I wanted was some good food and a relaxing environment. I arrived at 9:35 and was told the kitchen closed because it was “so slow.” I was very disappointed because I called ahead, hurried as fast as I could and arrived to find out that the time I was told was not the actual closing time.She could have said they may close early and I would have chosen another restaurant. I completely understand their position, but I was very disappointed. I just wanted the ownership to know about my experience.
The people working here know what they are doing. The food is excellent and the deserts are pure perfection. To top it off the drinks are perfectly made with the proper portions. I don’t think I have ever had anything less then a perfect experience every time we come here.
The honey chipotle shrimp tacos were delicious and the smoked salmon app is a must.
Bartenders were very personable and friendly. The crowd was thin, but we went during the week so thats to be expected. Atmosphere was perfect blend of Irish pub and Buckhead establishment.
A little pricey but the food has always been really good. Only issue we ran into is the price of the bottomless mules on Fridays not being advertised. Its just advertised as bottomless mules from 7-9 p.m. every Friday, not that it costs $21 to participate instead of just buying an $11 mule.
Love fado here for boxing day and Guinness,got some Atlanta United scarves!
As an Irish women this bar is in no way Irish another fake Irish bar/restaurant in the Atlanta area. They have four Irish dishes on the menu with farmed fish as starters I am not ok with that. The cod was apparently not farmed but I am suspicious about it. It tasted good the food is reasonable ok pricing but be jaysus the drinks are expensive $10 for a gin and tonic is a bit steep like who do you think you are. We had a very poor server and were told by the host it was his first night going it alone but why should that be my problem? The server chandler and the manager John were great but I don’t see why when I am paying the price I am that I should accommodate an under performing waiter. I won’t return due to the pricing and that this is not an Irish bar you can take that to the grave as again I am an Irish women I call it as I see it
Impolite and high-handness . no matter even if you are ordering the best scotch and doing few rounds. ($). they have disconnected waiterswaitresses. you would find yourself at the mercy of getting an eye contact to order something..the place has rave reviews because of the location and ambience. you loose a customer there is someone else always coming in.. So...!read all reviews and you would find the same theme..
Reagan Goodwyn thanks for the accommodating service and a great atmosphere for the LFC vs MC game...
It had been nearly 20 years since I had been to Fado. Back then, Fado was part of the Buckhead bar scene when Buckhead was know for its nightlife. Back then it was a one floor Irish bar with a great atmosphere that made you wanna drink Guinness and eat cornbeef and potato soup. Fast forward to June 2019 and to my surprise Fado is completely different from years ago. The place has multiple floors. Beer and food selection is great and the service is even better. Since this place is a Liverpool club bar and it was the UCL final, the place was packed. Despite the inordinate number of people there, we were able to get drinks and food very quickly. I can only imagine the place is more intimate when there is less people there. But for such a big event, this place was rocking and I liked it.
Their fish and chips are DELICIOUS and in huge portion. The service has always been good. The rooftop area is really cool. Their St. Pattys Day event is totally worth it also.
This is a pub not a bar. The food, beer etc is great. The staff are fantastic. Its a really good, safe and friendly place to go. I could go on and on, but just go there and find out for yourself.
Way bigger on the inside than I was expecting! I like the upstairs patio and the pub feel on the inside. The bar was a little crowded but its a solid spot for a Friday afternoon beer. Cant speak for the food but Ive heard good things about it, too.
The staff are awesome!!The food is great!The atmosphere, prefect!Great place to go, any time with anyone..best of all, great for a date, or with the one you already love!!Great service!Thank you!Went with the love off my life, and couldnt be happier!!
Good beer collection, ordinary bar food. The help there is good. As far as atmosphere its like many chain and suburban type mega bars you might see an any metropolitan area of the US. If you want a bar that is more interesting and has its own individual style find something nearer a city center. In Arlanta something like Manuels Tavern at Poncey Highland or nearby Atkins Park is much more interesting. Or Apre Diem next to the Midtown Cinema is much better.
Prefer the Midtown locale. Drinks are mediocre (not sure why a whiskey sour would be fruity sweet) and so is the service. Two times the server got our drink orders wrong and for a place with full bar was kinda surprised they couldnt accommodate a request for a simple drink. Parking sucks and area is congested.
Super friendly staff and the fish is fantastic. Very loud, but its a bar, so I expected that... Unfortunately pubs seem to be the only places in America to find authentic Irish/British fish!
Always a great time and great food at Fados. The only weird thing is their to-go cups are thin paper coffee cups so a ice water to-go ended up soaking up the cup. But I give them 5 stars just cause thats after the yummy food and great service. But seriously upgrade the To-go cups ; )
I realize this is their flagship location and they use this location to try out new concepts but it really just ends up being a gargantuan frat bar. The place is just huge. Their beer list is really really average. Not a single interesting item on the list. All their food is run of the mill and leaves me thinking was this frozen.Our work goes here from time to time and rents out space because they have so much of it. I probably wouldnt ever come here on my own though.
Fado is one of my favorite Irish pub chains. Food is always excellent, but the menu at this Buckhead location seems smaller and slightly different. The traditional fare of things like fish n chips or shepherd pie is amazing but theyre missing all the different dipping sauces for the fries of the other locations :/
The place offers an awesome variety of fresh food. I love dining here. Staff members are always super friendly, prices are convenient and the spot is always kept clean.
Cocktails are great. My only problem is I feel like the menu is lacking a bit more variety. Nonetheless, it is a good experience, and the atmosphere is very lively
Owned by a couple that I provided physical training to. They gave me a gift card and I was thoroughly pleased. One of her favorite dishes is the Rueben sandwich. Oh my god it is bomb. Nice live music as well. The Irish culture there was fun for me to learn.
Absolutely love this place. The wait staff was super friendly and the service was great. We stopped in prior to a concert for a couple drinks and an appetizer. Drinks were cold, and the appetizers were delcious. My wife and I are already planning to go back just so we can get a full entrée!!
Great food, drink and service
Went to watch the USA v Argentina Soccer game on Tuesday night. Sooo crowded you could even move through the place . . it was hard to stand. An enthusiastic crowd is a big part of such events but I really cant see that the place earned more revenue allowing number way past what jurisdictions any fire code. I could even buy a beer . . . waiters would take order except from table and the people were 5 or 6 deep trying to get a bartenders attention. Next game Ill probably look for a place with a more responsible entry policy . . .
Top Notch Staff.Chatty and welcoming.Had a great irish breakfast, just perfect.Also host of Liverpool FC supporters club.If your from Liverpool, its a must venue to visit. When i return to USA I will be returning here.
Great atmosphere for any major sporting event or even to have a cold brew. Their Guinness rub wings are always a go too. You will definitely find something or someone you like at Fados. Cheers!
Came here with friends and had a great time.
The best spot to watch soccer, especially the world cup. Everyone has a great time. Food is quite good for a pub. I never hesitate to go...
Great place to watch any sort of sporting event. They have soccer games on throughout the entire day and there’s a wise selection of beers here. The food’s also pretty good
One of the most fun, chill, nicely designed places Ive been in Buckhead! And on the patio is a chill atmosphere but great views.Im a bit annoyed though that I was there on a Sunday and they have a 3 dollar mimosa special... But decided to tell me that wasnt valid on a certain kind of day (Euro 2016 or something), but kept the advertisement on the table. This was only mentioned after I ordered 4 mimosas and was given my check. I think you should be clear about what special is and isnt going on.Nontheless Id come back for food... On actual $3 mimosa day
No better place in ATL to catch a Liverpool match, an F1 race, or a drink and a bite. Great staff, always on point even when the lot is filled with soccer hooligans. Good selection of beverages, tasty food, and fun atmosphere. Cheers!
Purchased a burger whose steak came burnt. When mentioning it to the waitress she simply told me that they use a grill and that sometimes the flame jumps up. My burger was still burnt after that and I didnt eat it.
FUN, BUSY, BIG IRISH Pub in Buckhead. Watch sports on big TVs, drinks are great, lots of atmosphere and often a dance area in the back. More about the fun than the authenticity. However, our last server was indeed Irish and very helpful and friendly. Worth a visit if you are in the area. LOTS nearby. Buckhead is GREAT!
This place is awesome. Lovely atmosphere. Great food. Even better service from my waitress Erika. Best Manhattan I’ve EVER had. I’ll definitely be eating here whenever I’m in town.
Stopped in after world cup. They were kind of slow, but grabbed a couple Irish coffees. They were great and my fiancee loved them. Great service, well be back!
I love the atmosphere above all else. Great staff and food (the wings and irish menu are fantastic). Theres a big table on the first floor with big King chairs by the fire. Its my go-to spot. Katie, the waitress at Fado may be the best in the business.
I didnt make it to the Old Fado, but 4 years ago I had my first Guinness here and enjoyed it so much, I moved around the corner from the pub and have been a regular ever since. Walk in, ask for Russell, and enjoy yourself. This is my absolute FAVORITE bar in Atlanta. Cant say enough about how much I like this place.
Great night life! Whether Im seeing a friends band, a random DJ, or a soccer game, this place is awesome. They have a great beer selection, so do yourself a favor and order something other than a Bud Light.
My go to spot for drinks and football (European). Really good, hearty menu offerings pair deliciously with the great drinks. Love the chips w/ assorted sauces for snacks. The entrees that never disappoint are the lamb dip sandwich, fish and chips and the full Irish (cures all what ails ya! Guaranteed hangover cure, especially with a bloody Mary. At least thats what Ive been told). it is the kind of place you find yourself staying much longer than anticipated. Two hours can turn into six in the blink of eye!
I have loved Fado for over 3 years, and the fact it is within walking distance is a great boon. Yet last night, I ran into a manager named Kevin who was impolite to say the least. I wonder if his presence is the cause of 3 of my favorite bartenders leaving the establishment. I do not know if I will bother returning near weekly, and if I find that he is working, I do not doubt that I will leave immediately. It is a sad situation for such an otherwise excellent establishment. I only hope that the they rectify their management so I can enjoy their business again.
We were leaving the braves game last night and someone told us about how great this place was. We checked the website and it said they closed at 2 am. We got a lyft from suntrust to your establishment at 11 pm, only to find out you were closed. The lyft cost a ridiculous $70 dollars and it was a complete waste because you were closed. I definitely do not recommend this place.
A really good selection of draft beer choices and all of irelands most popular choices, the best fish and chips around, great people and nice staff. Definitely try this place out while visiting Atlanta.
Get the Corned Beef and Potato Dumplings 5* dish! Lots of beer and whiskey too!
If you are a football (soccer in American) fan and especially looking for a place to watch the World Cup games, come here. Come early. Good breakfast and good beer. Even better atmosphere.
My favorite pub in town! Fado has a great seasonal tap list as well as a few beers that are always $5 a pint. Food comes out of the kitchen fast and hasnt let me down yet. The bacon burger and reuben sandwich are safe bets, and the skillet chips with Guinness cheese are not to be missed.
This is probably my favorite bar in Atlanta. I love fado for a fun night out with a group or a drink or dinner with a friend but it is also GREAT for events. They will reserve a section for you and have a designated waiter/waitress for your group. Separate tabs are never a problem. The rooftop bar is unlike anything else in Buckhead and although it can get super packed, its great most months out of the year. The people who work there are very nice and the crowd varies depending on if there is a soccer match going on, the DJ is playing or its a random weeknight. Ive seen lots of first dates there because there are places to sit and the food is good too. The Chicken Boxy appetizer is the best thing on the menu.
Eh nothing fancy typical chain restaurant bar. Decent beer selection, large bar, and a nice open eating area
Didnt eat there because we were not greeted as we came in. We were not acknowledge until we decided we decided to leave. It was not busy when I went. Food is good as I have been there before, just today, there was no servers and the bartenders didnt even offer a welcome.
Great food, great atmosphere.
In town from Texas. Stopped in for a drink around 10:45pm and promptly was told this is last call. Bartender stopped serving at 11pm. Found out Fados is was supposed to stay open until Midnight. Bartender cleaning entire time barely acknowledging customers. Cool place but disappointing experience.
I went to the location in Buckhead. I gave 4 stars because theres a $5 cover charge for live music, which not only was not that great, but we couldnt see them from our seats. Great drinks and food though!
The staff here was accommodating for our party. My friends and I came for the Florida vs. Georgia game. Definitely try the Guinness wings or the Boxty wedges. Highly recommended venue for a classy experience.
Ambiance and service is fantastic but the drinks are expensive. their special of the month costs 5 dollars (usually something like stella artois). great place to watch soccer games or any big sporting event.
Irish bar which is great to watch sports, especially world cup. They have a few beers of the month which are $5. Always a good atmosphere. As a plus they also have a roof top.
The food was decent and the drink selection was about normal for a restaurant/bar of this level. The atmosphere is really what sets Fado apart from the nearby grungy bars. Hang out on the roof for a really great experience.
Its a busy bar. Servers dont seem to care to much. Food is good but you wait forever for drinks. Even when its quiet in there.
A group of friends and I went here for the USA vs. Jamaica Gold Cup soccer match. This place was packed and had great atmosphere for the event, but thats about all the good that I can say about my visit.The service was incredibly slow. For a major event like this, wouldnt common sense dictate that more servers would be on staff? Apparently not. It took about 20+ minutes to get drinks whenever wed order them, and one of our group members had to go and track down our server since she was so busy.Further, the kitchen was so backlogged with orders at one point. The server informed us that they simply were not taking any orders for a certain amount of time in order to get the kitchen caught up. Again, if there is a major event going on maybe there should be more staff scheduled to compensate for the crowds.The food tasted alright - we ordered BBQ wings, bacon & cheese fries, and some of the guys ordered dinner for themselves. I made the mistake of ordering the fish tacos during my visit. They made me sick, and I ended up going to the doctor because of it. I did reach out to Fados via Facebook about this, but that was less than useless.The GM was supposed to call me one day, and never did. Furthermore, it wasnt until the following week that I decided to follow up with Fados about this. When I informed them that I was getting the BBB involved, I suddenly had received a call from the events coordinator. Not sure how this helps my issue, but that is the person who followed up with me.After a nasty bout with food poisoning, and having to track down people at Fados in order for them to do their jobs correctly, I know that I wont be back. They stood by their point that I was the only reported case of this happening, and more or less did nothing to resolve the situation.If youre looking for a place that has god-awfully slow service, then go here. If youre looking for overpriced drinks, then go here. Beware.
Best irish breakfast on Atlanta. If you’re irish/ British. Is the only place to satisfy the fry up crave. Wish they served curry sauce with their fish and chips though
There again... For the rugby. $20 cover charge is a little steep for the early birds but the place is humming with passionate fans and super helpful staff. Every time is a winner.... Unless you are an Everton fan
Was there for a private party on the top deck. Smoked salmon, slider, s fried chicken tenders are outstanding. For me, cost of a straight scotch is also a big plus!
Dark and stormy Irish themed pub, thats three stories. Gets very crowded and hard to manuever. The bar is a place for beer or shots. Not a mixology destination. Food is palletable, and mildly better with each drink.
Chicken and chips are my favoriteSo are Chelsea footy games - 5 stars
Went for a wedding reception. Excellent service. The buffet was kept stocked, empty plates and glasses were swiftly removed, and the bartenders were creative and fast. Highly recommended.
Fantastic food but service was meh. I think she was spread thin. On a busier Sunday, you need more than one server.
Its a pretty chill place, not too bougie.
Good beer selection and food. Great ambience and good ambience.
Got to watch Manchester City win here at the crowd went wild. Rugby crowd on in the other half of the bar was just as awesome. Food was great.
Russell is a super nice bar tender- keeps you laughing and engaged as well. Decent burger but would pass on the fries - served cold and over done.
I know when Ive found a great restaurant. When your table orders different dishes and everything is good! And the lamb dip is to die for!Sign up for Lyft and use code (ONEINAMILLION) to get up to $50 in free ride credits!
Nice place for adults. No booster seats or high chairs for children. Love the food but its not a child friendly place. Server was nice and got everything correct but was not very personable.
The environment was awesome, the server was great (Rachel) and the food was OK (Pulled Lamb French Dip - borderline not worth it), but the bartender Lee was a huge jerk. If youre a dude, he wont give you the time of day.
Last night we had the worst experience at this place, while we were at a table eating with friends, there were three men at the bar exposing their genitals in plain sight. We spoke to our server and asked what they would do about this and we never saw the manager at any point. This is a very nice place so we were very disappointed that this happened.
I really like to go to Fado on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Its probably not the authentic Irish experience... but who cares! The place is Big, with 3 levels where people are mingling all over the place. Beer selection is everything you would expect in an Irish pub. Food on the other hand is way more than what you expect from bar food. Yes, there is quesadilla on the menu, but it is made with a crepe dough, chicken wings are made with Guiness and the salmon bites are to die for.
Used to love this place. Went for brunch, asked for mimosa a little after 11. The guy, in a pretty rude mood, said no, citing state law, cant serve until 12:30. Ok, cool, what ever, law is law, sunday, no biggie. Well about 20 or 30 minutes go by, not even noon. Look around the restaurant and pretty much every table has beer or other alcoholic beverage on their table or at bar and see bartenders openly and willingly serving up. Just thought it was pretty crappy the guy was such a dick about it to us, but not to other patrons. If youre going to break the law, you may as well break it for 10/10 people and not just 9/10 people.
Asked the bartender for a water he said sure one second 30 minutes later still hadn’t got it so I asked him again and I was told he was busy taking care of paying customers, so I could either order an alcohol drink, or get out of his face. Completely ignoring the fact that I have been drinking alcohol the entire time I’ve been there and the 15 or so people there were ordering drinks for all with my party. I asked him if he would like us to leave, and he said yeah Kinda, Who do you think you are showing up with 20 people at 11 o’clock at night without telling us.Also I might should add it’s illegal for a bar to refuse to serve water to its patrons.
Russell was an awesome bartender.
The fish and chips are tasty. I was last here Saturday, March 14, 2015 for the Saint Patricks Day event. I was unhappy with their selection of beer- they had four choices. Guinness, Goose Island IPA, Bud Light, and Sweetwater IPA. And that was it. They lost money because I did not want any of that.
Very good ambience. The day I went there was an Liverpool game. There were a lot of fans and the game was an enjoyable experience. The food here is also good.
Best food, friendly staff, constantly good vibes. They charge reasonable prices and the food quality is awesome. Fantastic work.
WS a really busy but I like it
Nice place to watch soccer games in Buckhead
Ultra quick service - didn’t have to wait at all for my drinks.
Beers were good. Do not park in the Library parking lot or you will get booted. Management is receptive to adding this info to the website and possibly adding a sign on their building to warn you.
Solid place for a pint of Guinness and football.
Lovely Food & Drink, nice atmosphere.
Over-priced and over-rated tourist trap. Unless you enjoy $12 car bombs and $8 Guinness, save your money and time by going to Meehans or some place similar where you and your wallet will be more welcomed and appreciated. This place is a joke.
Always close before closing time!!! Bartenders aren’t really attentive. I have been here 4 times over the last month and I received poor service continuously. However the atmosphere is a really chill vibe.
Great little hole in the wall. Food was really good and so were the drinks. Really nice place to just hang out and get a drink with friend.
Great food and atmosphere. Many locations try for Irish pub foods, but the quality and flavor was good on everything por large party ordered.
This bar has good vibes and good service. A little pricey for the quality but to be expected in the area. It is oberall a fun and happening spot.
I come in just about every weekend for the Liverpool matches and couldnt be happier. Great food and service and man what an amazing environment to watch a Liverpool match ! YNWA
Its aight... Typical bar/club but the foods we ordered were pretty good. Would go again. We only reason for 4 stars is they closed the food at midnight I believe.
Good food very fast service...good customer service. Loved the food and had a great experience. Would recommend and definitely would come here again. Everyone who lives near should try this place once!
Lots of beer on tap but they dont how to treat them. Therefore some beers from tap are a bit stale and lose the intended flavor. Het this is common in the states.
Best place in town for Guiness !! 😍
Good atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Tasty breakfast burrito. Opens weekend mornings for Premier League Soccer.
Great soccer pub and all around sorts bar. Food is on oint an the beverage selection is diverse. Love the place!
Great place. Go there often for work lunches. Anything on their menu is delicious. I usually order their Shepards pie out fish and chips
Nice Irish bar. went to a professional meeting here. it was a little noisy but nice waiter. good bar food and beer selection.

2021-08-21Irish pub food in buckhead! They have my favorite shepherds pie and fish and chips! They have a dinner and lunch fish and chips where dinner is two pieces more. I recommend the pretzel and salmon bites for appetizers. The bread pudding is good as it’s not too heavy. It’s vanilla ice cream and hot bread pudding. Valet parking is available or validated parking deck.

2021-09-18The service was excellent here. The location is stunning and loved it. We were at the rooftop bar and it was beautiful. I loved the woodwork inside and felt like authentic pub.

2022-03-26Nice place for a brunch and the bottomless mimosas was a good addition to the brunch. The food was really good.
Review №4
2022-03-22Nice furnishings, but some seats need repair. Shepherds pie tasted fine, but was priced about twice as much as the small portion size warranted. Salmon bites were good. Server never brought part of the order, and was not really paying much attention, even though it was not busy. Bathroom dirty.

2022-07-12Irish Sports Pub with tons of TVs for sports viewing. They also open early for Formula 1 Fans on Sunday Morning and provide us fresh coffee.For brunch I recommend the breakfast tacos! Delicious.

2022-05-31Drink prices are a wee bit high, but hey its Buckhead. Drinks were very good and the staff and servers were very nice. One of my favorite spots in the area.
Review №7
2022-07-04Terrible. went in on a Saturday afternoon. Empty other than 4 or so other people. Waited for 15 minutes for a bartendar to show up behind the bar. Ordered a beer, bartendar doesnt say a word, turns around and walks toward the taps on the other side of the bar. I wait for another 15 minutes and still no beer, no bartendar. I get up and leave. Wierd place with a depressing vibe.

2019-02-23Excellent food at reasonable prices. The fried goats cheese is OUTSTANDING! service was right on and friendly. Although I didnt drink they do have an extensive selection of beer and booze. Parking, I believe is free although we parked @ a meter across the street. Nice atmosphere can get a bit loud but thats just everybody having a good time. A must go, 6 people with 2 appetizers and 6 dinners was under $150.00 including the tip.

2022-04-17They keep taking my review down. Very antisemitic place. They are best friends with guy named Ness from Croatia who harrases everyone and has a swastika on his back and celebrates Hitlers bday. English bartender said all Jews need to leave Georgia and go back to where they came from.

2019-02-09OMG! This place is super dope. So many Guinness half and half drink options and of course plain Guinness. They offer a variety of other good craft beers and plenty of mixed drinks and other liquors but they have Guinness and pretzels and I couldnt be happier with how good it was. I really enjoyed this place and look forward to coming back. Definitely worth a revisit. Check them out if you havent already.
