This place served great European beer on draft, including Guinness. It was also in an easy-to-find location. You could see it from the metro exit. More

Great atmosphere and service. The Bangers and mash were off the hook. Large bar/seating, not on top of one another. You'll think you're in Ireland. More

Reasonably priced beer, entertainment, trivia nights, karaoke, and Guiness. Is there more to life? More

We had a couple of burgers here at the end of a long day of sightseeing. The waitress was excellent - the food was delicious - the prices were reasonable. I really enjoyed the decor. We had visited Dublin about a year ago - and this felt the same as some of the better pubs there. The manager stopped by... More

Always been meaning to go to Fado for the longest time. First off think Irish Disneyland or Hard Rock, the decor is kinda over the top but it has its own charm. Tries a bit too hard to be irish. The waitress was splendid, service was very quick but not being pesty. The food, my niece had a chicken sandwich... More

Great location near the Metro and Chinatown. Friendly feel. Good pub fare. Enjoyable just to sit at the bar. One hostess seems angry at the beer glasses but the other,Lindsey is great. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. I would stop here again on my next visit to DC. More

We have been coming here for 9 years and Fado has never failed us. Their menu has changed over the years (we still miss those PEI mussels), but their burgers have improved drastically, so change can be good! For soccer (aka football) fans, this is the place for all your games - both for large events like World Cup and... More
