Updated review from 3/20/17 Ive dropped my rating of this place from 4 stars down to 1, because of our most recent visit. There were only a few people sitting at the bar when we arrived, around 2:30pm. As soon as we entered, the blonde lady who was tending bar (and a blonde lady with glasses, who we assume to be a manager) asked us where we wanted to sit and told us that the front area was set up for a party set to arrive at 7pm (!) We opted for a booth near the windows. We were shocked to see how the menu here has changed since we were here last year. Its so much more Americanized, which is really disappointing. Also, the volume of the music here during lunch time is really silly. It doesnt need to be blasting loud to begin with, but when there is only a handful of people in here...yeah, its really unnecessary. Apparently, the barkeep was the only person waiting tables, too. We became upset when it took her several minutes, to come and take our order. (Again, there was hardly anyone else here!) I was just about to get up and ask her for the bill for our drinks, pay and leave, when she finally decided to take our lunch order. When she brought our appetizer, she asked if we needed our parking validated. We said yes, but we stupidly didnt realize at the time that she had only validated it for an hour! Because of how painfully slowwww the service was, our meal time was over TWO hours long. Rediculous! There are so many other pub type places in and around Atlanta. Were saddened that this Fado isnt even trying to keep people coming back anymore.

Nice decor, plentiful seating (inside and outside) and decent atmosphere. We went on a Monday evening, which explains why the Pub was almost empty. Good for us. Alcohol menu consisted of the usual - local and imported beers (bottle and draft), wines, whiskeys and a lot of cocktails to choose from. We ordered Scotch on the rocks and a classic whiskey based cocktail which was good We started with the chicken boxty quesadillas, which are basically Irish potato pancakes. They were quite interesting, different from the usual quesadillas but not too different either For the mains, we ordered the Sandwich and Soup combo. Soup of the day was Tomato bisque, that wasnt too thick and was well made. The Sandwich was grilled chicken and bacon on a hoagie which was an unexpected surprise since we werent expecting much from it Overall, an evening well spent for us As regards to the Pub, they have happy hour specials going on Mon - Fri from 4 - 7. We will definitely recommend this place for a few pints of beer and some decent bar food, especially if you want to spend an evening with your friends watching a game. Thats when this place comes alive, were sure

Not happy, unfortunately. I stood at the bar for more than 10 minutes before I eventually asked one of the floor managers [?] to know if I could order a beer. The barmaid saw me and served others who came in after me but decided she did not like my face and so did not bother to serve me. He was most polite but had it not bee for him, I would probably still be there waiting. Once I eventually got my pint, I was about one third through it, went to the bathroom only to discover upon my return that the barmaid had thrown my pint already !!! I was upset, naturally !! The barmaid then proceeded to tell the people next to me that I was drunk and advised them to move away from me !! I am not sure of her name but she is fat with an attitude. Now given the fact that I am Irish [ born there ], I take this personally and to heart. Maybe you should put a poster saying something like "ugly people not allowed" or "Irish need not apply for drinks here".... point taken ??

Two major problems with this so called Irish pub. First the food was below par especially the $12.95 Rubin sandwich. It was served cold and consisted of two tough pieces of meat between two slices of soggy bread. And my friends $15 hamburger was over cooked, dry and came with a bad after taste, probably old meat. Then the parking for their patrons was absolutely terrible! They hire a parking company to boot peoples cars and charge $75 to remove this boot even if you are 2 minutes late. Its one of the rudest things you can do to your paying customers. The management should be ashamed to have such a rude rip off company treating there customers this way. Three cars right next to mine were booted because they were 5-10 minutes late and the company made $225 off these paying customers. They make 10 times more money off the booting than they do off their poor quality food thats for sure. You can find a much better bar to spend your money at than this imitation Irish pub.

Came here for networking event and was sexually harassed and staff didnt care. Stranger outside of event approached female friends and I pointing at us suggestively and verbally harassing us. He continues to stare at and try to approach us as we walk away. He continues to harass other women at our private networking event and brings them to his table. I tried to warn bartender about him sexually harassing women and bartender doesnt care because the guy "is a usual" who they "sometimes need to kick out". Bartender REFUSED to listen to me and sarcastically asked if anything happened to me and said "sorry" in a demeaning way. I will be sure my network never holds events here and i hope staff become trained how to better handle sexually harassing patrons, whether they are regulars or not.

We came in for lunch around 2pm on a Monday, and the place only had a few other tables seated. The server, Randolph, was very helpful and attentive, being there when we needed him, and absent when we were wanting to enjoy our food. We tried the curry chips, and they were fantastic! Well have them again the next time were here. I tried the shepards pie, but it turned out to be cottage pie instead. I dont mind that it was beef instead of lamb, but its kinda like calling something a chicken sandwich and it being turkey. It was still very good, and Id definitely get it again. My girlfriend got the mini burgers, and they were all great. We were highly satisfied with our meal, and will be back.

Really nice spot. I dont really get the feel of an Irish Pub, though. It is pretty swanky on the inside and doesnt really have the trimmings of a "pub". This is more of an American style "fancy sports bar". Dont get me wrong, it is clean, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and there are nice views with great natural light. The seating is comfortable and their are good views of very nice TVs in almost every seat. If you are looking to hang out in a "public house" there are better options, but if you are looking to take in a game at a nice, comfortable spot with clean bathrooms and professional staff, then Fado definitely fits the bill.
