Awesome food. We ordered home delivery and the food arrived fast and was nice and warm. The prawns in the prawn tacos were very large and succulent. Nicely done. The sliders were nice. The chicken quesadilla was delicious. Overall great experience and looking forward to our next order.

This cute little Irish pub in Abu Dhabi was such a random choice for us to do brunch in Abu Dhabi... And for the prices they quoted, we just wanted to explore it!

So we booked a table for their brunch, which starts at 12:30, and they have two packages: AED 89 (with soft beverages) & AED 189 (with unlimited selected beverages). We obviously went for the one with the unlimited beverages. 

The food is served on your table, and it's really not a lot of selection, which is even better because we didn't feel like a complicated food experience, specially when it's in an Irish pub!

I loved their chicken wings, and their sliders were some of the best I ever had.

The glasses were never empty, and the staff were extremely attentive, but that's probably due to the fact that the place was practically empty.

Go there for a good value for money, and a peaceful brunch experience.

Always friendly service. Ryan is always willing to accommodate their patrons. Their food is some of the best around town. Try their fish tacos! Wow! Ivan, their door man, is probably one of the most friendly person we've met in our area. Go check them out!

The place is a small Irish pub in the Khalidiya neighborhood. A bit dark but decent drinks menu and prices.
Service could be a little friendlier but otherwise the place is good for a couple of pints or a couple of glasses of wine.

Visited Fado several times and the food was always divine. Highly recommended if you love great service and tasty food. The cheese dip was a great starter. The shepherds pie was equally amazing. Bursting with flavour. Loved it and looking forward to dining there again.

One of the best pubs I've been to in Abu Dhabi food & ambiance wise. We ordered Shepherd`s pie, cheese dip and Fish & Chips all of which were delicious and in large portions. Loved the live world cup. Great lighting and a nice place to catch up with friends over a beer. Our waiter was also really helpful & pleasant.

We visited Fado to watch the World Cup quarter finals. It was quite full, however service was efficient. The atmosphere was good though the tv screens could be bigger. We tried a beer and a little by island iced tea and both were good. The happy hours are applicable on all beers, wines and other drinks except cocktails. We were not very hungry so we just had the pretzel with cheese sauce. This was all right. Only feedback is it would be wonderful if they could have some nuts/ chips or popcorn served with drinks as in most pubs.

Been there recently with group of friends for mid week outing and we were not dissapointed at all as Fado was above our expectations!!!
Some of us had only drinks, for me I had virgin mohijto and that was just perfect.
Others had some cocktails and beers which they enjoyed alot .
For food I had BBQ chicken wings which is rich in sauce tender spicy and simply yum!
My friend had Fish and Chips which I did tried a bite with them and this was so good too.
Staff are so friendly helpful and knowlwdgable.
The venue is nice not much smoke as some other pubs and it is really perfect for day weeks and weekends as I came to know they have some DJ Music on fridays. unfortunately I had no photos for this visit will be taking photos next visit and post it here.
Definitely will go there again and again.

Randomly walked into this pub over the weekend. Visiting The Fado Irish Pub was a definitely unique experience. A very friendly bartender and fellow staff serve you ice cold beer and cider. We really enjoyed the time there. Awesome drinks, absolutely delicious food. Never had a long wait for anything. Genuinely the best place I've ever been for food or drink. My advice is to experience this place. Would give more stars if I could. Kudos to everyone!

Interesting discovery I made with this place. Tucked away in the lobby of a hotel that is tucked away at Khalidiya. I don't know how it gets the name. I believe Fado is a form of Portuguese music. The pub, however, seems Irish.
I did get ignored at the table for a very long time after I sat down & I had to flag down a waiter and ask for the menu. Hence the score is not a full 5.
But the rest of the evening was satisfactory.
I'm not a Guinness fan at all, but this place has the option of mixing the Guinness with other beers. I tried the Velveteen, which is cider & stout mixed, with the stout floating on top. It was really enjoyable.
For appetiser, I had the BBQ chicken wings. The dish itself was great, I just didn't get the choice of dip. For mains, I had a Shepherd's Pie. Really good stuff.
The decor is great & the place has an island bar. There was live music the day I went.

A Dilemma I am faced with each time I decide to go out for a Beer and want munchies. 🍻Thankfully Fado made it super easy for me when I was asked would you like to try our signature "Guinness Wings"? Decision made!

Beer with Wings is a winner of a combination but wings cooked in a beer infused sauce now that's simply BEAUTIFUL, in my words. The Guinness wings were flavorsome and juicy and gave a sweet after taste which was delish! The Buffalo Wings intended to be spicy was not, regardless these wings were tasty as ever and had a tangy after taste which I enjoyed and served with ranch dip!
Saucy Wings (no need for the dip really) most pubs serve dry wings so I was impressed. Excellent Portions on the Meals served here, will leave you feeling
satisfied.

I have eaten Shepherd's Pie before and trust me I've eaten really GOOD Shepherd's Pie but this one was out of this world. The potato was caramelized golden brown giving the dish a beautiful appearance that being said digging into the fluffy and creamy mash potatoes with spring onions was extremely mesmerizing. Along with a scoop of the tastiest, most succulent and moist minced meat filling dipping a piece of bread into this was 🤤 (I need to go back) ❤️ Accompanied with beetroot salad topped with cream cheese and balsamic dressing, you got to love @fadoabudhabi almost all their mains are served with a hearty portion of salad which is just as delicious on its own!
YAY Fado for keeping it healthy.

Yes, this pub caught me by surprise!
Apple Pie topped with chocolate brownie topped with🥁 .... Guinness Ice cream (I can't even)
Loved the Apple Pie and absolutely adored the Guinness ice cream but the brownie I could live without on this dessert. What you can catch instantly in this ice cream is the bold flavor from the Guinness Beer, a unique fusion indeed and a well crafted dessert but HEY ... when your at a Guinness themed pub a Guinness based Ice cream is expected right ? 😏 ✅What's to like about Fado.
•A cozy and chilled out ambiance with a fantastic live band.
•Delicious & Brilliant portioned snack out/meals.
•Home of the Guinness Ice cream⭐️
•Warm & Welcoming Staff.
Honestly felt that Fado is highly underrated and more people need to know about this hidden gem of a PUB; the food, entertainment, beer and overall experience is fabulous.
A must visit spot in the Capital city!

Lovely Irish pub located in Oryx hotel.

Here’s what I ate:

1) The Salad – Very Good Choice.

2) The Lamb Chops- Not the greatest chops I have ever eaten but they were alright.

3) The Wings- These bad boys were dipped in Guinness sauce adding on a lot of flavour to it.

4) The Shepard’s Pie – Fantastic pick as it is mouthwatering.

5) Dessert- For Dessert we had a combination of Granny’s Apple pie, Chocolate Brownie & Gunnies Ice-cream. It tasted so good. Highly recommend this dessert.

They have live music on Thursdays & the pricing is reasonable as well. Highly recommend visiting here if you’re looking to have a nice night.

Sláinte! Or in less Irish terms, bottoms up! You don't have to be in Ireland to head to the pub tonight. But you do have to be at Fado to get the best of Guinness-inspired recipes. The beer at this quintessential Abu Dhabi joint flows from the tap and into the meat, the chicken and, yes, even the ice cream. But if you want to save your drinking for your drinks, or if you're not a drinker at all, there are plenty of hearty beer-free options as well.

It is my first time to visit Fado and the time I entered was amazed me! The ambience and furnitures are great especially the whiskey area. That place is so elegant and can invite a group of friends.

Food and drinks. They have an excellent food and not over priced. I had chicken and shrimp boxty And you may not feel hungry after because of the large portion serving or let us say you can skip your dinner and breakfast on the next day😃. And the beer?? What we could expect?? Once it goes to your throat, you will feel refreshed from the very humid and hot weather outside.. beer lovers knows what i am saying😊😊.

Overall, this place exceeds my expectations. I am a pub and bar lover and from all the pub i visited so far Fado is at the top of my list. Amazing environment, great food and drinks, friendly people staff and all.

Compared to the capital’s other Irish bars, we like that this one is small, cosy but roomy, with pockets of smoking and non-smoking seating available. Catch your live sport, or beef up those brain cells during the Sunday pub quiz, right here with a bargain daily happy hour and a cracking meal.
