Editorial Review for Fado Irish Pub – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Part of an American chain that has true Erin roots, Fado has "Irish" decor down: stone formations, looms, trunks and garish Celtic imagery. The first floor is bar, angles and alcoves. The mezzanine is a faux ship's deck, with one long, curved banquette and few tables. Second-floor tables are mostly tiny, with little elbow room; seats are hard, backless stools.
The Draw
This faux olde Irish pub offers theme-entertainment and a full bar to tourists and River North office workers, plus it serves an undeniably nice pint of Guinness (and many other brews), thanks to the state-of-the-art European gassing system. This and the occasional live Irish folk music lend warm authenticity. The food menu offers the usual suspects of fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and boxty (potato pancake with filling), as well as American favorites like chicken fingers, sandwiches and salads.

I thought the pub and the entire staff were great!! From the moment I walked in it felt like home. I love the fact that I received a specialty glass for my pint of beer. It was a nice touch that I appreciated. Food was great and service reminded me of when I was in Ireland as far as their friendly disposition. We came for a pint and stayed for the night!
Pros: Friendly Staff, Decor, PINTS!, food

Cowardly security men! Ladies beware! I suggest the nice manager at this Irish Pub re-think his big brawly security guard!
Cons: SERVICE
