Editorial Review for Fado Irish Pub – by James Scott Bankston
In Short
During the day, Fado hosts quiet sippers and diners; at night, it's packed with cheery students, professionals and Irish expats, all with tongues loosened by free-flowing Hibernian beverages. The pipes of Shane, Elvis and Van are sometimes replaced by live musicians. There's Guinness on tap, plus Bass Ale, Murphy's Irish Amber and Boddington's Pub Ale. For hard drinkers, there's always Jameson Irish whiskey. The extensive menu includes classic fish-and-chips and baked Brie in phyllo pastry.

I went here on St Patty"s Day 2008. This is bar is a false Irish Pub Delux. Cover to get in and highway robbery for a beer or drink. Of course it was crowded, poor wait staff and poor management. This place shoud be avoided always not just at St Pattys day. I rate this the worse Irish bar ever.
Pros: Location
Cons: Food, value, service, everything

I just wanted you to know that my friend was having her birthday party at Fado recently. Normally we have a wonderful time but unfortunately this time we did not. Kathleen was supposed to be helping us out. She was the WORST ever! She was rude right off the bat and she took forever to get out drinks and forgot orders over and over again. I understand Fado is a busy place. Believe me I have worked in bars and restaurants for the past 6 years. I know. But it was frustrating because we could see her taking her time and talking to some guy who apparently works at Fado as well instead of doing her job. I just want to say that I have never done this before. I usually understand people in restaurants and bars being busy. But this was ridiculous. Kathleen was just so rude the whole time for no reason! She made it seem like we were a huge inconvenience to her the ENTIRE time. I mean from the moment we got there we were some big burden on her. My friend told me it was the worst birthday she has ever had. I have to say that I expected more from Fado and my friends and I will have to think twice before coming in again all because of one terrible waitress. I hope that someone will have a talk with her, and perhaps her co-worker (whose customers I'm sure were suffering as well) about their behavior.
Pros: Normally a fun bar
Cons: Kathleen's service
