$25 brunch is actually a really good deal when it's a $13 entree (like lamb hash) plus bottomless bloody marys for a big-time morning soccer game. Would have drank $25 in beer anyway.
Jacob ForsterJune 7, 2016Trivia on Mondays is a lot of fun however the questions are definitely geared towards those born in the 70s and 80s. Cheap beer on tap for only $5 starting at 7:00 PM!
JohnJune 20, 2012"Gaelic Pub" is probably a better title for this establishment as it is a higher caliber and arguably more "Irish" pub than any other Irish bar in DC sporting the genre. A fantastic, euro-feel place
Angela ZhuOctober 5, 2013You must try the 'Fado Jameson and Ginger.' It's delicious! Has a kick from the spice of the ginger beer and if you're a whiskey fan- it's the perfect combo.
Jesyca AlentonOctober 20, 2015Ordered the shepherd's pie which was delicious! Mom and I ordered a rhubarb pie for dessert and it was mouth-watering! Definitely coming back
Andrew CMarch 22, 2017Didn't realize this was chain until after... but Chipotle chicken sandwich was more hot saucy, not really Chipotle buuuuuuut thin fries were on point and all the local draft beers were amazing!!!
Valerie DeeDecember 30, 2013Go when "That Guy Mike" and his band are playing! It's like a reunion of all your favorite songs from college in a big dance party! Drinks wise, it's your typical Irish pub.
M. SheppyJanuary 3, 2016Great atmosphere especially during a rugby match. Always a nice place to stop through before heading to the Verizon Center.
Drink The DistrictJuly 23, 2012Classic Irish bar, way cool, really big! Great place to bring a big group of rowdy beer drinkers.

Chuck GivensOctober 30, 2010Try the All-American breakfast and an Irish coffee. You won't regret it at all. Great atmosphere and soccer is on when there are games being played, especially Premier League.
Reed JonesAugust 22, 2010Awesome atmosphere, defiantly authentic Irish pub experience! Get the fish and chips, they were the best I have ever had and portion sizes are generous with a low cost:-)

Kaiserin FranzNovember 7, 2013Harvest bread pudding is amazing! ! Service is quick and friendly. Makes you miss Ireland less...
Joshua HillMarch 4, 2010Ask for Amanda, and mention any ties to American University. If none, just be pleasant--she's an awesome bartender and a fantastic friend. The beef & potatoes pies are fantastic.
B HuttonMarch 17, 2014Bar staff know what you mean if you ask for a snakebite...so ask for one and have fun!
Pub Quiz on Mondays! Best in town! The lamb dip is delicious, and the service is unbeatable.
BBC AMERICAFebruary 1, 20116 Nations Rugby Championship matches are shown here. There is a great community of rugby and soccer fans at this pub. Kitchen opens early. Read more
Cat PerryJune 25, 2011The pulled lamb French dip is AMAZING. The hummus was fantastic and you can't go wrong with either :)
jim DowningSeptember 24, 2012Great place to grab a beer before a concert, sporting event or just because! #metrodchouses
Fun, faux-authentic environment. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Hot wings are great here. add a smithwicks or two or three and you can't find a better place in dc
Jeanne Marie HoffmanNovember 9, 2009This is the only place in DC I have found good boxty at! Seriously, get yourself a Magners (over ice), a whiskey steak boxty and watch some football. Thank me later.
U.S. SoccerJune 4, 2011With a robust soccer offering, Fado Irish Pubs provide fans with an authentic U.S. Soccer experience with the flair of a traditional Irish Pub.
Come in for lunch and ask Amanda at the bar about their applewood bacon & turkey sandwich, delicious!
Its a great place to watch the World Cup. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. Definitely coming back.
Ridiculously good food, great beer, fantastic soccer pub
Michael NaclerioJuly 16, 2010Go in on a rainy day, order a guiness and the steak boxtie. Pretend you're in ireland.
Lisa MarieMarch 27, 2012Trivia Team Names are more competitive than the trivia itself, bring your game face
Davyda DesimoneSeptember 19, 2010Amazing, authentic Irish pub! Gotta try a pickle back: shot of whiskey with a pickle brine chaser
James CampbellOctober 11, 2011Watch out for the gimp beneath the floorboards! Oh and get a boddington on tap!

"Went to the last (hopefully just for now) Syracuse - Georgetown basketball game here. Even though the Orange got crushed, I had a great time hear. Definitely would want to go back for more Hoyas games"
Gabriel Hayes - 6.0
"Cool little dive that's mostly hidden next to the Ruby Tuesday in Chinatown. Cheap alcohol, great atmosphere, tons of games. Get there early and grab a booth in the back."
Ana - 6.7
"Definitely get there early. I like to grab a beer before the snow with my friends. It's a great looking theater with comfy seats and a good location."
