on Citysearch Sep 13, 2009We travel a lot and always visit an Irish Pub in the area. This is, by far, my most favorite Pub that we've visited to date. We have visited Fado on many occasions and have always experienced great service, great beer,... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 31, 2008Over the years I have been to Fado's on many an occasion, and for the most part have had a great time, however.. i think management MUST have changed! Simply put, they are watering the Non-beer or wine drinks down! Over... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 28, 2008I was in town for the Austin City Limits Festival. We were wandering downtown, and saw Fado's and decided to give it a shot. It was ok, but I don't think I would recommend it. I tried to order 3 different Irish beers, and... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 18, 2008I'm a native Austinite and I've had some awesome times for many years at Fado's. I've taken my "just off the boat" Irish friends there and they love it! Best damn Guinness in town. You can have bad service anywhere one... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 11, 2008Fado? How about FakeO. Though the furnishings may be imported along with some of the alcohol, most everything else is NOT IRISH. In fact, it appears be a local hang out for Upper and Middle Class Yuppies. I didn't go... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2008To me, Fado is two places. It is a decent place to get Irish food and also a fun place to get a drink. If you want to eat I would suggest going before 7 p.m. Then you'll be able to sit and have a conversation. After that it is... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 16, 2008I 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... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2008I 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... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2007I visited Austin last week and unfortunately happened to wander into this bar. When I ordered a drink, the draft beer was totally flat - when I asked the barmaid to replace the drink she first accused me of lying and only... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2007I used to go to Fado's all the time, but then got tired of it. I went back over the weekend and it was awesome all over again! We sat outside (there were 2 of us) around a huge 8 person table because there were no other seats.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 10, 2007OK, after some time staying away after a disappointing visit some months ago, I gave it another shot. Not much better. The bar still suffers from a cleanliness issue, one that pervades in both unpleasant odors and... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2007Great happy hour, good specials, fun to meet and enjoy time with friends. When I was in college all of the bars smelled the same at 10am after the staff had cleaned up from the previous nights doings. Fado has the same... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 25, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>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... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 10, 2006Good food, good deals on whiskey, and the freshest Guiness in town. What's not to like? And unlike an "Irish Pub" aspirant near by (which is not quite up to TGI Fridays' level of quality), you can actually decide on a... (more)
