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'm really into Irish pubs lately. This place is pretty good. Woudl recommend if you're looking for the Irish hang-out and don't want to go too far north.

This pub has many levels and the rooms have themes which make it an awesome place to go. My favorite room is the one that is made to look like Victorian Dublin, but my friends like some of the others better. Make sure you walk around and see them all. Another great part of this bar is the fact that they have live irish music almost every night, but you should call before making the trek out there to make sure that you are going on a night with music (or without, if thats what you prefer)
