We were in town for a show at the Convention Center and looking for a good place for lunch. The pub fit the bill and was just a few blocks away. It was a busy Saturday and most seats were taken but we found a table in the back where we got great service from Casey. The food was good... More

Typical Irish pub repleat with all of the usual "Irish" themed decor but it is more athentic than most More

We “experienced” Fados in downtown D.C. (near the convention center.) We have come to expect a sanitized version of Irish pubs such as the British Open Pub on Hilton Head, but this is not the case with Fados. The pub borders China town, and strolling through the door, we really had the sense that we were visiting a real Irish... More

Just popped in for a drink and ended up eating dinner. The trinity steak boxty was delicious!!! Oh whiskey garlic sauce I will be dreaming about you. More

Great place to go before a hockey game - right around the corner from arena. I did not know until I checked the internet today that this was a small chain. The place seemed pretty independent. Certainly it is frequented by regulars - who were enjoying the rugby match when I visited. A vast selection of beer - but Murphy's... More

Food and service was ok but wouldn't go out of my way to go there. I didn't like the tall chairs and tables as... More

Irish theme with Irish style food, but really just an American take on it all. I had the Bangers and Mash, which was a lot of food but not very tasty. My friend's steak Boxty was much better. But, no sooner had we finished our food than the waitress dropped our check and a "reserved" sign on our table and... More

food decent: good trinity steak boxty, if you like potatoe wraps. our waiter was slow and seemed annoyed that we were there. the restaurant was loud w/ people and music. they have live music. NOT a family place for young kids, or anyone less than 21. this is definitely a local singles hangout/gathering spot. drinks are the priority here, food... More

I know it's been awhile since my husband and I ate at this restaurant (almost a year) but when we were reminiscing about the great food we had in Washington DC, I felt I must get on here and give kudos to Fado's! Excellent service and food! Our waitress was a sweetheart. The night we were eating there, it was... More
