Review from Marc P.
Bellevue, WA
Great food & the service is even better! Typically i have a Bleu Crunch Salad with chicken which is great, but there are other great plates to choose from. Some other good items from the menu that I have enjoyed are Lamb French Dip, Guinness BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Bacon Cheeseburger Mor, Chicken Boxty Quesadilla, Smoked Turkey RLT and Fado Gourmet Burger. There is also a curry soup, but unclear what day that is available.
P.S. They always have a good Soccer Game on the tube/telly... -

I love the decor here, pretty darn cool. My other favorite part, Happy Hour Hoegaarden, $4 I think, or a $5 Jameson and ginger ale. Amazing. The food was fine, nothing to write home about, but good for pub grub.
I once left a mug here, and the people were super cool, looked around and found it for me, and had it waiting with my name on it days later. Nice move, plus one star!
Thanks for listening! -

Although Fado has a rep for being a contrived version of a "real" Irish bar, it really has got a lot going for it. As a connoisseur of Irish bars back in my misspent youth, I can tell you that authenticity doesn't always equal "good". Fado is carefully constructed to remind you of every St. Paddy's day you've ever had, and if we're being honest here it really is a kind of theme-park restaurant, but since it's so well executed it somehow manages to be more charming than the "real" thing...most of the time. There's lots of cozy nooks and softly lit corners to choose from, and a clean, well appointed bathroom, not something I usually find at "more authentic" dive bars. The few times I've been here the crowd seems uniformly decent, so aside from a few sports fans howling at the Seahawks game it's a laid-back atmosphere.
Aside from the clever interior, the servers are friendly and efficient, and what little of the food I've tried from their extensive menu has been pretty good. I won't vouch for the cuisine since I've mostly come for drinks, but from what I've had so far I'll definitely give 'em another shot. Beer, wine and whiskey are pretty much what you'd expect to find in an Irish place, but if you've come to this neigborhood looking for cutting edge micro-brews you can always truck it down to The Elysian Brewing Co. a few blocks away.
I like Fado, and If parking downtown wasn't such a challenge then I'd be over to this place more often than the one or two times a year I visit now.Comment from Ellen P. of Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant 12/23/2011

Dear Fado,
My favorite winter coat was left at your bar on my birthday (not my choice to go there for such an important occasion but our friends band happened to be playing). I called beginning the next morning and have not heard anything back. Yes, it's my fault for forgetting the coat, but at least you could call me back. I believe one of the staff (or a patron) is now the proud owner of my only nice winter jacket. 1 star (and it doesn't even belong to you) goes to the band. One star for the timeliness of service, even with the packed bar.
Meh. The times I've had a bite to eat, the food has been overcooked and extremely greasy. And I always leave the place sticky...do you ever wipe the bar down?
I've had poor service at other birthday parties I've attended there as well, and ended up grabbing my beverages at the bar instead of waiting 1/2 hour for the server. -

We had our rehearsal dinner here to pay homage to the Irish side of my family. It was perfect. We had about 55 people in our party, including about 7 children and everyone loved it. The food that was prepared for us was wonderful, hot, and was kept full as we gobbled it down. The waiters were very attentive and the restaurant manager attended to every need that we had. IT was on a Friday so the restaurant area was crowded and had live music, everyone was having fun. I appreciated how organized they were so that the other patrons were not ignored...I've been on the receiving end and it sucks. Overall we had a great experience and we will be going back for sure!
We did go in about 3 times before to taste the food and to check out the atmosphere before we decided and each time it was great. I LOVE corned beef and cabbage and I have to say that besides my fathers real homemade dish, this is the best I have ever had. The mustard sauce is to die for. I have been to many of the other Irish pubs in Seattle, Renton, Kent, Bellevue, and Burien and I have to say Fado is much more consistent and flavorful.
MY RECOMMENDATION...try the PICKLE BACK....sounds crazy but oh so good!!! -

I've been to Fado several times over the last few years and have always thought it was a neat place. Last night, I met with four friends to catch the end of their happy hour (which runs from 4-7pm). We arrived at 6:30 and found a big table near the bar that was perfect for the five of us. Our server greeted us right away with a dry sense of humor, which I appreciated. He was quick with the drinks and good at helping us select food without being annoying or fake-friendly.
For food, we shared the happy hour onion rings. There were only six-or-so rings, but they were huge and tasty with three different dipping sauces. I ordered the veggie burger which was good quality and filling. My friends ordered sliders, a cheese steak, a cheeseburger and boxty quesadilla (boxty is an Irish potato pancake... I had to look it up). Everyone liked their food. Also, one of my friends was delighted to find out that Fado makes a proper snakebite. She says that most Irish-themed pubs have the Harp and the Strongbow, but few have blackcurrant juice that apparently seals the deal.
Anyway, I was pleased that we easily found space to sit with good food and great service on a Friday evening in downtown Seattle. I wasn't sure if that was possible, but it is! -

I have added a star to my review based upon the response form the staff here to my feedback. The breakfast was sub par but the service during my stay and after leaves me with the desire to figure out what does work well here and support it. My guess: After work Jameson shots.
****
I joost retarned fram a week in Oierlund, and am looking far an oothentic Oirish Breakfast exparience in the stets.
This was, emphatically, not an authentic experience, and the reasons for that were not for lack of ability.
The puddings, while tasting about right, were tiny and dried out.
The sausages were loose on the inside and over crisped on the outside, as opposed to being dense and hearty and lightly crisped skinned.
I think the rashers were actually SALTED, and almost inedible.
The eggs, tomato, and mushrooms were palatable. However, $14 was too much to pay for that breakfast. as this meal paled in comparison to even the low quality fast-food versions of the TIB I had in Ireland.

Review from Rebecca S.
Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA
Fado is my Monday hangover rescue.
There's nothing a (vegetarian) Irish breakfast and a cold guiness can't fix. The Irish breakfast usually comes with two eggs, sausage, blood pudding, fried potato toast, mushrooms and tomatoes, but I ask for no meat and receive potatoes instead. The breakfast is usually about $15, but for vegetarians, it's about $10, which is a fair price to pay for the cure.
Service is super friendly most of the time - I adore the Irish lady at the bar who calls everyone love. -
Review from Mario P.
11/13/2011
We were looking for a place to (1) get out of the rain for a while, (2) catch the UW vs. USC game, and (3) get a beer and a bite.
Having been in quite a few Irish styled pubs across the country, this is a decent representation, though pretty high mileage. Broken up into separate little rooms, it helps control the noise. Pretty typical beer selection with a few local micros and seasonals.
Our service sucked. The place was only about half full, so i do not know if they were understaffed or if our server was inefficient. Whatever the reason, it took forever. I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a diet coke. It took about five minutes for my beer to come. It took another 5-10 to get my wife's pop. She said she would come back with menus. She never did, so we borrowed one from the next table. When she brought my wife's pop, we ordered. She suggested the corned beef sandwich on a hoagy roll. It was dry and, well, . . dry. I live for food, and I didn't finish it . . . [gasp] . . it was that bad.
The only thing worse than the food and the service was the Huskies' performance against USC.Comment from Ellen P. of Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant 11/20/2011

Fado is excellent. The staff is friendly. The manager and the owner have both been great. Good food and good happy hour prices too.
I host a good amount of events in Seattle where dozens to several hundred people show up, so I get all sorts of feedback from everyone about what has gone wrong. It is rare for us to leave a place without a single complaint. But Fado is one of those places.Comment from Ellen P. of Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant 12/23/2011

Yeah, I'd have to say Fado is a pretty cool place for a happy hour. It's located in a great area in Pioneer Square, perfect for getting your pre-funk on before a Mariners/Seahawks/Sounders game within walking distance. There seems to be a nice selection of Irish pubs in Seattle and I think you can throw Fado into the mix.
The inside is a little dark, much like other pub-like restaurants. The service was actually very nice and attentive. We got a table almost immediately during a busy happy hour session. On a nice sunny day (you know, those rare occasions here in Seattle), you probably want to grab an outdoor table.
I was able to sample different items from the happy hour menu, each costing around $3-$4 a plate. The fresh potato chips with bacon, blue cheese, and green onion was freaking awesome (I plan to try to duplicate that for a football day at home). The bbq chicken pizza was alright. I thought the crust was interesting.....kind of like naan bread. The onion rings with 3 sauces were great. They were nicely breaded and full of flavor. What really made the happy hour were the lamb sliders. Flavorful chunks of lamb with cheese on slider rolls. They came with a dipping sauce (au jus) which made me salivate just by smelling it.
Fado is a fun/social place where you can bring your friends/family/date. I'll definitely be back! -

Music was loud and unappealing. Think boho chic and radio music without the chic. But the crowd was louder, and anything drowned out only gave way to a catatonic hum that left the place...wanting.
The scene itself was absolutely fabulous. Half the place was sectioned off for a singles greet and meet. After walking through that half, my bf told me to do so, too. I did, and a girl literally turned up her nose and looked away. During my quick stop in the bathroom, I was greeted by a lady who started complaining about her hair color and blind date. omg.
The other non-formally singles scene was just as single - except qualified mostly by men.
The bartenders did not look happy either. I don't blame them! -

I used to come to Fado's for a Bass beer and their delish Lamb Dip.
I ended up here after a very wet Sounders game on a busy Saturday night.
It was standing room only and definitely very crowded.
We didn't get to order any food since we stood the entire time but still a great place night or day. -
Review from Doug C.
6/1/2011
I recently saw the movie Fast Five. It should come as no great surprise that a movie starring Vin Diesel and The Rock would have a predictable plot (almost free......except they need to do....."one last job"), but it reminded me of Ebert's Glossary of Movie Terms. You only need a minimal amount of information before you can guess the rest of the movie. For example, the Classic Car Rule: Whenever a beautiful classic car -- usually the prized possession of an unsympathetic father --- is introduced at the beginning of a film, that car will be wrecked by the end of it.
I suspect that the same theory could be applied to bars. In the example of Fado, I could say that it follows the Moderately Upscale Irish Pub Rule. Would I need to say anything else? You could guess that it would be mildly overpriced. Or that it would be decorated with dark wood with some green trim. Or that the servers would be dressed in black and could serve as extras in a Riverdance line in a pinch. Or that soccer would be prominently shown on the telly. Or that a Guinness poster could be found on at least one of the walls.
You could guess these things and be correct. But it's probably worth pointing out that the food, while mildly overpriced, is fairly good. For the Happy Hour (4-7 pm M-F), the pub sliders and onion rings are a nice surprise. It is also probably useful to point out that Fado does tend to get quite crowded around the end of normal work hours (5 pm). Have a buddy stake out a table before then. -

This is a nice place to unwind and have a drink. We sat in the small area immediately to the left of the entrance and it was quiet and relaxed. I've been to the one in DC and had similarly positive experiences. They pour a good Guinness.

In context as a post-game drink stop...
Pretty nice. Handled the post soccer crowds admirably and had a decent selection of euro beers on draft. Crowds were a bit much but not heinous enough to be a deal breaker. -

This place is great, both day and night! I've only been a few times, but I definately will make a point to frequent it. I went a few years back for lunch with friends, and the food was excellent. A bit pricey, but definately worth it. The staff is very friendly and the service was fast.
-The place is very clean, comfortable, and fairly spacious.
-Their Happy Hour specials are great!
-They really liven up at night, too.
-Nice people, great crowd.
The most recent outing was during one of their 'theme nights'. I was looking for something fun to do for my friend's birthday,that we could take our men to without them being bored. It happened to be their 80's dance night, which was even better. We love the 80's! Another friend mentioned dressing up so we did. People were dressed up....but more dressed to the nines than the cheesy outfit I was wearing!
But everyone had a great time. Like I stated above, great crowd. Never judge a book by it's cover, no matter how fancy it is! This place wasn't like some of the others I've been to, where people are dressed well, and very stuffy or snooty. We felt right at home with everyone there. And, the DJ's ROCKED THE HOUSE! Super friendly, and took lots of requests. -

Fado's was suggested to me by the ladies at my hotel... I was looking for a place to go as a gal by myself and not be unsafe or uncomfortable. I'm so glad they steered me here! They have a decent selection of beer, and on the night I was there (a Wednesday), they had excellent live acoustic music. I had the mozzarella and tomato sandwich, which was lovely, and got a free pint because they have a deal with my hotel! I felt very comfortable here, and enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. I also loved that it had dark wood everywhere, and was dimly lit, with the focus on the bar and the music. My kind of bar! :)

I loved fado already, but what sets them apart from virtually EVERY other Irish pub in Seattle is the service. Elizabeth was one of the most incredible servers I've had in Seattle. She not only waited on a group of over 50 quickly and accurately, but she was such a sweetheart in doing so. She remembered everyone's drink and made mela lifetime customer of me at Fado. When you come in, be sure to ask for her! You won't be disappointed

I'm Irish. Pale. Red hair. Green eyes. With a penchant for dark stouts and whiskey.
Fado isn't what I would call an authentic Irish pub. Its Americanized, but in the best way possible. The place is a surprisingly large building, with dark heavy wood, dusky lighting, plenty of hidden corners and football (american or apparently what the rest of the world calls football, "soccer") playing on several tv's. Give it a moment and you will realize the music playing is UK artists only.
Standard pub fare abounds (fish and chips, burgers, etc), but you get your Irish niceties in with boxty aplenty, your standard Irish breakfast, and a pulled lamb sandwich that made me want to cry. Yes, a pulled lamb "french dip" aint very Irish. But good lordy it was tasty. It's topped with English cheddar and accompanied with an au jus so good I wanted to drink it. This is quite possibly my new favorite sandwich.
Drinks offered are what you would expect. Had an Irish coffee that was just right. Not too much coffee, and not too much booze. They pour a lovely pint of Guinness, and there is a whiskey list with offerings to make anyone happy (from the cheap to the pricey -- Johnnie Walker Blue anyone?)
The service here was awesome too. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive (while not being overbearing). Our drinks were always fresh and we didnt feel neglected (even though the boy chose to sit at the very VERY back of the restaurant).
Simple things add up to a lot of good here.Listed in: Beer. Beer beer beer...., Sandwiches are beautiful,…

Happy Hour is decent, I'll give them that. But when the waitress starts flirting with my date, Happy Hour becomes Back Up Off Hour. Granted, the date never turned into anything substantial but still.
The little slider thingies tasted like shredded reject meat soaked in BBQ sauce. The "crab" cakes consisted of three teeny tiny quarter-sized lumps of mayonnaise and bread crumbs. Did they run out of crab that night or something?
Lots of beer on tap which I appreciate. Happy Hour on a Tuesday was completely dead which made the ambiance kind of calming and comfortable. I like the decor and the layout. Apparently Fado used to be a bank way back in the day. Awesome pub conversion.
Perhaps I'll go back and order something different off the menu. Perhaps my company (and luck) will change and I'll get a male server. Perhaps I'll have a better overall experience. -

They have Guinness. They have decent Whiskey. They have interesting Irish randomness all over.
However they carded my friends when we moved from the bar to the restaurant. The friends were holding pints at the time. I find this unnecessary.
Also, it's a chain...and I have a hard time giving chains 5 stars.
Still...it's cozy and fairly inviting. And they have Guinness... -

My girlfriend and I discovered this charming but slightly over decorated Irish pup in January 2011 and have been returning at least once a month since. (I've managed to sneak in a few extra times without the girlfriend)
I prefer to belly up to the bar where the service is handed out in timely manner with a smile and a hand shake. The management I've met seems to be down to Earth and takes the time to say hello.
The wait staff may need a little work here and there. It's a roll of the dice who you get to take orders and serve your food and drinks. Most of the time it's been spot on service...when it's not busy mind you. I've sat down and waited in an almost empty room for longer than necessary for service and when we did it was less than adequate. Once in a dozen or so visits isn't bad in my book. Everyone has a bad day but like a cold if you have one stay home.
All and all I like this Irish Pup and will return from time to time staying away from peek hours where a packed house may be for some folks it's not my cup of tea. -
Review from Alan N.
3/25/2011
I have been here a couple times now. The first time was for St. Patty's in 2010 and came for seconds after hearing about the Yelp Event happening here last Friday. I definitely enjoyed the experience inviting a number of my friends from out of town to partake in the great happy hour deals that lasted through the night.
+++ Service: By far the best and most hospitable waitress I have ever encountered works here at Fado. Her name is Toni and if it were possible to ask for someone with better service would probably be a near impossiblity. I think she was the only one handling all of us Yelp! users in that room. There didn't look like there was a single moment that she wasn't getting badgered for food and drink orders. Never once did she seem to get flustered or confused about the orders even hours after we had arrived. It also helped to receive some freebies from Fado's after it was all said and done.
+ Food/Drinks: We ordered some appetizers off of the happy hour menu (i.e. Calamari Rings, Brushetta and at least one other item which I cannot remember). We ordered several different drinks as well(i.e. Guiness, Harp, Irish Car Bombs and Widmer). All were reasonable portioned, came out quick and were really good. I was surprised by the Calamari Rings, usually I find those suckers to be chewy at bars but Fado prepped them to be really tasty and soft.
+ Location: The place is dark and has plenty of space for parties, groups or even smaller tables for singles to mingle. It seems like a giant space that is organized to feel a lot more cozy.
- Prices: This is where I feel like Fado falls a little flat for me. Total, my tab in the Yelp event was only $9 for the night but when I left the room to go have a quick Irish Car Bomb with some friends at the bar it costed I think $9-10 a piece. The pints even at happy hour prices costs $3.75.
I think I would definitely come back here for special occasions like for a birthday party, prefunk before a Sounders game or some such but otherwise I would rather go elsewhere on an average weekend outing. It also helps to have a wonderful woman like Toni serving you! -

this place was tasty. my partner and i came here because we were starving, and our hotel (marriot) gave us a free drink or appetizer coupon. i got a jameson and ginger, he got some random beer, and we had the cheese sauce app. i ordered the tomato mozz sandwich, and it was okay, but lacking some flavor. he got a burger and it was sizeable and tasty.
the service was friendly and prompt.
when we checked in on facebook several people responded that they love it here. so if more than 5 californians have been there i imagine it's quite popular. -

Fun place to go and hang out. I've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed. This place is definitely busy on St Patrick's Day and you need to get there early if you want a spot inside.
Recently I met up with a friend on a Friday night for dinner and drinks. Our waitress Jocelyn was very nice and friendly. They have great happy hour prices AND their happy hour goes to 7pm! Whenever I go to an Irish place I always get the corned beef. I was not disappointed with theirs. Lots of cabbage and potatoes to accompany the corned beef. They slice the corned beef into strips. Oh man. It's making my mouth water just thinking of it!
I think another visit is definitely in order...soon! -

So we show up here on our happy hour hopping trip to Pioneer Square and arrived to Ladies 80's night with fun music and a dance floor hopping with people. After we finished our absolutely amazing shepherd's pie, we also hopped onto the dance floor for a few songs before heading out to our next destination. It was a wonderfully memorable part of the evening.

I happened to walk in here on a Thursday night, and I was unpleasantly greeted by the sounds of really bad live music not unlike.....REM? What? A cover band is here? No. Not even close. There were just some really, really drunk REM fans in the back. Annoying.
I had a pint of Guinness ($5.00 well spent) and my friend and I tried to order some bar food. We wanted chicken tenders, the cheese dip, and brown bread ice cream. We were hungry - stop judging.
Our waitress came back with chicken tenders, cheese dip, and...no ice cream. We reminded her about the ice cream because we were serious about it. She came back with the check sans ice cream. We reminded her about the ice cream again, and she said, "I thought you were joking" and walked away. Thanks, YOU STUPID ICE CREAM THIEF. -

swallowed the impulse to end him, and found one of the evening managers instead. When he came out to our seating area, it was immediately obvious that he was on a first-name basis with the offender,
who I suspect was an off-duty employee. He did force the punk to leave,
while the loser screamed profanity at us over his shoulder. Doubly disappointing---the manager's nonchalant, half-hearted "sorry about
that." Fado is off of our list--permanently. -
Review from Brady A.

I had a few drinks and the shrip appetizer, all of which were good. Great group-gathering venue.
