Fado’s Irish Pub & Restaurant
Whatever it is that you’re looking for, Fadó is the perfect place to have a bit of craic.
Fadó, pronounced f’doe, is the Irish expression meaning “long ago”. The term was commonly used as the preface of old Irish stories told by the Seanchaí (Shana-kee) or storyteller. At Fadó we are telling the story of Ireland’s rich and celebrated pub culture. It is a culture of hospitable surroundings, good food and good drink, and friendly conversation- what we call “craic”.
We consider Fadó a different type of Irish pub. We blend the best of the old with the best of the new. Our decor and friendly staff evoke images of the great old pubs of Ireland whereas our style of operating - our music, food, beverages - connects more so with the contemporary pubs and bars of modern Ireland.

Fado’s in Chicago. I am sure there are hundreds of kick ass Irish pubs in Chicago, but Fado’s is the bomb. Fantastic live music, all Irish staff and all around good times! (it is a chain, I know, but what can you do)
