Fadó, pronounced f'doe, is the Irish expression
meaning "long ago." The term was commonly
used as the preface of old Irish stories told
by the Seanchaí (Shana-kee) or storyteller.
At Fadó, we are telling the story of Ireland's
rich and celebrated pub culture. It is a culture
of hospitable surroundings, good food and good
drink and friendly conversation- what we call
"craic".
We
consider Fadó a different type of
Irish pub. We blend the best of the old
with the best of the new. Our decor and
friendly staff evoke images of the great
old pubs of Ireland whereas our style of
operating-- our music, food, beverages--
connects us more with the contemporary
pubs and bars of modern Ireland
The Scene
For many, this pub is the one place in
Buckhead they don't mind going. Its unpretentious
vibe and running tap keep a party going
most nights, especially on weekends. Inside,
there's enough memorabilia to cover the
walls of an Irish museum. Once you recover
from the initial blarney blast, take a
minute to soak in the menu's hearty Irish
fare. A few continental favorites stand
by to rescue culinary xenophobes
The Draw
Young, upwardly mobile professionals colonize
this Guinness and Bass factory from the
time they leave work until they go home
to slumber. Live Irish music and televised
soccer matches on weekends attract the
serious Gaelics and an international crowd.
Fado also serves well-respected pub food,
making it a popular lunchtime destination
for Buckhead workers. The specialty is
boxty, an Irish rolled potato pancake stuffed
with a choice of seafood, Cajun meats,
steak or veggies
Given its international clientele, Fado
makes a great place to watch European football
(ahem, soccer) and rugby. It opens as early
as 6am on game days
