Love the atmosphere at Fado Pub & Kitchen! It somehow feels both upscale and cozy at the same time. The space is beautiful, the staff is always welcoming, and the food never disappoints. Everything feels thoughtfully done, from the cocktails to the authentic Irish-inspired dishes. The veggie burger is a personal favorite, and the live music and energy make it such a fun spot for a night out in Bridge Park. Definitely one of my favorite places in Dublin to relax, grab great food, and enjoy a true pub experience. read more

Haven't been here for awhile so my daughter and I stopped in for dinner. Happy hour you can get a 9oz pour for the price of a 6oz glass of wine . We tried the fried goat cheese which was very good . My daughter had the roasted beet salad with shrimp and I had the lamb chops which were very good but I would ask for extra sauce the next time .i also had the Irish spice bag which comes in a paper bag . It was different and I didn't care much for it . The chicken was ok but mostly French fries. I would not order it again . Our server, Sully was great . Friendly and knows his wine. Monday it's half off on fish and chips , Thursday is half off on a bottle of wine up to 60.00 I believe . Live music on Friday. We had a nice dinner and will be back . read more

Fadó is a great spot nestled in Bridge Park for a warm & tasty meal this time of year! It gives upscale Irish Pub vibes with all of the authentic decor & great atmosphere! The staff is very welcoming & you can have a meal here for any occasion! The fish & chips are perfectly crisp & filled with flavor, & the smoke salmon bites are a fun way to start the meal! The Shepherd's pie is a classic that you can never go wrong with. Be sure to give them a try the next time you're in Dublin! read more

Was just okay unfortunately. Menu shrunk a LOT. The last time I was there was maybe 2 years ago. Good: there's a live music, very nice. Food arrived hot and nice presentation. Friendly and okay server. Bad: I'm not too fond off being touched by stranger (server touched my shoulder). Food on a cast iron plate on top of a regular plate, I didn't realize the cast iron was a "hot plate", wasn't warned by my friendly server......my fingers were almost burn (I stuck them in my ice water immediately). Taste wise....it's okay - not too impressed. Server returned once to drop a take out container, never asked to refill water for me or my friend's beer. Oh well. Will I return? Maybe not anytime soon, there are other options in the area. read more

Fado Pub & Kitchen - Spanish Chicken and Rice - Irish Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

Stopped by for happy hour - several discounted apps. We got the bay bites which were really good and pints of Guinness (good pours per the tilt test!). For dinner we had fish and chips and chicken cordon bleu. Fish was awesome and some of the best tartar sauce I've had. Truffle fries were really good too - more like potato wedges. Also got the cookie skillet for dessert, candle for our bday celebration (not a deal breaker, but we did have to pay for the birthday dessert, just so you're aware if you go to celebrate). Service was very kind and accommodating with our celebration request. We loved the atmosphere and have been for soccer games before as well, the bar area is the best. read more

Went to Fado in Dublin for the first time. Inside is warm and cozy with lots of wooden accents, a large bar and lots of tables. Food was average. I had the seafood risotto. Came with scallops and shrimp. Rice was cooked well but wasn't creamy or luscious like most risotto. It was more like well seasoned rice with a topping of seafood. Had the cheesecake for dessert which was good. Service was quick and attentive but didn't recommend any dishes or signage drinks. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Beautiful space, amazing staff, yummy food and drinks!!! If you haven't been you are missing out.

Yikes I tried. My favorite thing was the grapefruit refresher. All appetizers were salty. For the price I was disappointed. Date night date don't. Chicken lollipops.... Forgettable. Garlic chili shrimp extremely salty .... Bread accompanied inedible Salmon bites ok When you save up for the date night this was sad $70 of sadness.... Service was lacking and slow.

We roomy and high ceiling restaurant with visible ductwork so as you would expect noise travels well. This did not detract us since it is a pub and expected this. They also have several TVs with football on when we went. We did get seated quickly and were attended to just as quickly by a pleasant waiter. Proceeded to order our drinks. I ordered a Guinness Nitro Stout which was excellent. Wife had an Irish Coffee which she said was one of the best she's ever had. Raved about it all the way home:-) . The lamb burger was also excellent. Got mine well done and it was still moist. With the wonderful melted blue cheese. Topped with tomato, pickled onion, and arugula. Along with the wedge fries. Top notch! My wife had what would be considered more standard fare, fish and chips. But it was made to perfection. Some of the best cod around. Short of fishing your own. Great batter also. Along with the cole slaw and fries, it was a complete meal. Highway recommend this place to anyone looking for an Irish pub with authentic food. (Just saying this as someone who has traveled Ireland) read more

Went there for company happy hour and dinner. Great atmosphere, beers and cocktail. Beef tenderloin was excellent

We wanted to try something new for brunch and then walk around the bridge park area. I love this area so much. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The service was just enough. I really appreciated the waitress respecting we were having a fun conversation. We all got the Irish breakfast. It wasn't great. However, two at my table ordered the bread pudding and they oooh and awww'd as the enjoyed every bite. read more

Party of 4 decide to have dinner on a Friday night at Fado. We made a reservation for 6:30pm. We arrived about 10 minutes early and was greeted by friendly staff and we were seated right away. The place is nice and cozy. Good for a large group. As for the food, for the appetizer, we decided to get the Maryland Crab Dip for the table, which was just ok. For the entrée, since it was my first time visiting Fado, I asked the server what she would recommend from the menu. She said, "hands down the half chicken." So that's what I ordered, Brick Roasted Half Chicken. The food arrived promptly after we ordered. The portion size was pretty big. My chicken came with side of Brussel sprout and mushroom sauce and mash potatoes . The sides were good, especially the mash potatoes, very buttery. However, the chicken was just blend. Even after mixing the mushroom sauce, it was still just blend. Not sure if I will go back here but if I do, I will definitely not get the chicken, instead try something different. read more

Love FADO ! Great Food Great Bar Great Location Great Atmosphere Fun place to hang with friends , date night , small party read more

Great food and service. Their happy hour specials used to be great, however now I would say, just "ok".

The Full Irish Breakfast is to die for: two "Bangers" (sausages), two eggs you way, Black Pudding, White Pudding, Rasher bacon, grilled Tomato and Mushrooms, and toast. I had the same thing in Killarney, Eire, and in my opinion, Fado has nailed it. read more

I went to Fado for my friend's campaign event. There is plenty of parking for the restaurant. It is located across from the Dublin Link bridge. I just parked across the street by the Link and crossed the street and walked there. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. There is a covered and uncovered patio section as well outdoors. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is nice. My friend had gotten a lot of appetizer orders for everyone to try as well as desserts. For appetizers, we got to try the deviled eggs, chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce, stuffed mushrooms, and beef satay with sesame dipping sauce. My favorite was the chicken satay, it went perfectly with the dipping sauce. For desserts, we had individual strawberry panna cottas and bread pudding. Both of the desserts were delicious. Will definitely have to go back and try their entrees sometime. read more

I usually stay away from reviewing chains, but this is a nice location in a fun area, and though it deserved a little data for visitors. This is a pretty nice place to hang out, have beers, and watch a game. The facility is big and comfortable, and the bar is well stocked with a good selection of both beers and spirits. The outside seating area is welcome on nice days, and also if you are with someone who gets cold in the typically crazy AC in restaurants (e.g my wife). The River Park location is hard to beat, and is close to lots of other stuff for date night or boys night. I'm not sure I would call the cuisine "Irish", but they do have a few Irish inspired selections. I typically eat appetizers at the bar when here, and the sauerkraut balls are decent, as are the chicken lollipops. Overall good bar food, but not fine dining. I'm only giving them for stars because the place could be a little cleaner. That said, I'll be back. read more

I love the atmosphere at Fado Pub & Kitchen. Today, I had the Ruben sandwich with a side salad for lunch. The Ruben comes with Fado's Signature corned beef, coleslaw, swiss, and Marie rose sauce on Great Harvest rye. For appetizers, my group shared the Chili-Garlic Shrimp which comes with shrimp sautéed with chili flakes, garlic and soy sauce, served with crunchy french bread for dipping. We also had the Fried Goat Cheese which comes with beer-battered goat cheese with jalapeno infused honey and fresh thyme. All of the food was delicious and the service was truly incredible!! read more

Gnarly service at the bar. Staff was beyond rude. Had to ask for check twice ( not even my issue ) once bartender could spare 5 seconds our bill was launched at us from across the bar. She didn't say a word to us as we left and quite frankly had the worst attitude I have seen in a while for being in the service industry. Would never go back nor recommend. Yikes read more

Fun atmosphere, that is open and inviting. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was even a bit jovial. The elapsed time from sit down to serving was a bit slow. There were four of us who had different dishes that day, and some dishes were better than others. For example, my daughter had a bowl of soup which she said was tasty. My wife had a salad, and she was pleased as well. I had the fish and chips which were a bit on the greasy side, while the fries were lackluster and not very hot. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being high, I would rate the food 7. The one thing that held my rating to just three stars is because any time I walk into a place that promotes themselves as an Irish Pub & Kitchen, I expect them to offer a corned beef sandwich on the lunch menu, or at least a Reuben. The waitress told me that they used to have it on the menu but took it off. Really I must ask? read more

Came in on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. Was promptly seated and ordered up my first Guiness. Started with the chili-lime shrimp. Boy, what a surprise! These were delicious! Perfect amount of spice tossed in fresh Cilantro which really made the dish soar! For lunch we had the hot ham and cheese with soup and the pub burger. The soup was roasted red pepper bisque and was most excellent. The sandwich had grilled ham sandwiched between 2 pieces of cheddar with a Gyure cheese sauce spooned over the top. It was also outstanding. The burger was good, but nothing to brag about. Asked for medium well and got well. The fries were crazy hot, but big wedges that I'm not a fan of. Prefer them thin and crispy. Waiter was super friendly and the food came out very fast. Will come here again. read more

We had 2 drinks, an appetizer and a lamb burger and seafood risotto for the entrees during happy hour. We were greeted and seated very quickly. The restaurant was very clean and our waitress was nice and personable. The drinks were excellent and the crab appetizer was great. My burger was dry and overcooked and the seafood was bland along with the risotto also very bland and dry. The bill (including tax and tip) was over $96. Based on price, food quality and portion sizes, we will not be returning. read more

There were 9 of us for New Year's Eve and the service was fantastic! Our server was attentive and we had the traditional Irish toast at 7pm. They had live music which only added to the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant! I ordered the Reuben it was okay, probably not order it again, it needed more saurkraut, thousand island dressing and a touch more corned beef. The fish and chips looked great, I would try that. However, for great service on a busy night, ambiance, great drinks with bottles of wine priced right...I would definitely go back again!!! read more

I am OBSESSED with the Fado location in Dublin. First off, free parking around the area? Okay, SOLD! When you first walk in you think you are in a very upscale restaurant because the ambiance is so nice. You get the dimmer lights to create a darker atmosphere, but then a pop of the white tiles. It is not a restaurant where you need to dress up, but you can. Those are the perfect kinds of restaurants. I have been here a few times and I keep on returning. There is always plenty of seating and I do not think I have ever had to wait for a seat. They can get pretty busy though. During the summer, they have outside seating where you have a little view of the river. Every waiter/waitress I have had has always been nice. They get you water right away and take drink orders. Every time I have come, my water and drinks always comes within the first 15 minutes of sitting down and ordering. They have a HUGE variety of alcohol from wine to cocktails to varieties of whiskey. If you are a wine or whiskey lover, you are in the right place. Their menu is not huge, but just big enough to make it difficult to pick just one thing. I have tried the cured meats and cheeses ($14.95), lamb burger with a side of fries ($13.95), roasted beet hummus ($10.25), the big bavarian pretzel ($10.95), half the jumbo wings ($7.95), and tomato soup and salad ($9.95). Their appetizers are perfect to share to get a little taste of everything. The roasted beet hummus really surprised me and was absolutely delicious. The beets gives it a beautiful purple color and the pita is so soft. My favorite part of the cured meats and cheeses are the pickled vegetables that help cut through the heaviness of the cheeses and meats. The Bavarian Pretzel is HUGE. You could probably make this your meal. The soup and salad, burger, and wings were just okay. I did appreciate the pickled onions and fried egg on the burger though. The meat could use a little bit more flavor. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants in the Dublin area. A must try! read more

I've been here a few times and really enjoy it. Compared to the other restaurants in the bridge park area, it's a cheaper option, without the quality suffering. I went her with my husband and a couple friends for drinks and appetizers. The pretzel is huge, plenty for 4 people. The mustard is really really good and I'm not even a mustard person! It also comes with a cheese sauce that's hot and really good. We also ordered wings (10), for the table. I split an avocado toast with one of my friends, and my husband ordered a burger. We had a bunch to drink, ha! The avocado toast was really good! Bread was thick, but I was able to cut through it nice, the flavors worked well. Yum! And one piece was a lot more filling than I thought it would be. The fries from my husbands burger were really good, the wings were juicy and we had a lemon rub sauce, very good. I will certainly be back as I live close, it a cheaper option in the area, and it's good quality food, decent service and good drinks. read more

It wasn't super busy. The food arrived promptly after ordering. The Avocado was fresh and creamy. The bread was finely toasted. The egg on top was a welcome addition.
