Fado Irish Pub is an Irish sports bar and restaurant located in Chinatown. Decorated with gleaming dark woods and dim hanging lights, the pub also has a separate "whiskey room," which has intimate small tables and a checkered tile floor. The menu is a mix of American and Irish pub fare, with a selection of burgers and salads on the American side and dishes like fish and chips, corned beef and cabbage and bangers and mash on the Irish side. Beer dominates the drink menu (no shortage of Guinness here), but Fado also has a large selection of Irish whiskeys. Sleepy patrons can order an Irish coffee, a mix of whiskey, coffee and whipped cream. Fado Irish Pub is open for lunch and dinner daily.
