Sorry everyone. Just announced its closing! Only true Irish pub with Irish owners now is JohnMartins in Coral Gables. This place was great. Greed from zealous developers killed this. I suspect all of Mary Brickell Village will be next, followed by another dopey overpriced high rise catering to bogus tenants and international con artists. SO SAD!!

When I need to hide from Miami life I love going here. Nothing like Guinness and fish & chips in a dark wood bar. The service is always excellent and efficient. You can have a conversation without yelling. There is also outdoor seating. Great find!

Didn't actually get to even go here, since they cancelled my reservation for a large party at the last minute :) so I don't really wanna go here since they seem pretty inconsiderate

We truly go here pretty much consistently whether it's for a Guinness or the Irish breakfast! Continually demonstrating the best football coordinates also

I keep coming here because Bailey works behind the bar and is pretty much the only reason why to come here still. Besides during the World Cup soccer games it is mostly quiet here. I dress up for Fadí³: winter is coming! Inside it's always so cold. I've been twice this week and I love the Christmas decorations especially the red district in the back area which is perfect for a date. My favorite strawberry basil drink is no longer available but luckily Bailey makes any drink bomb. Managed to close the place last night. No way I went to sleep of course, there's other places where you can continue being drunk still after on a Thursday: at home!:)

Living in Brickell for 2 years and my husband has lived on south beach for 13 years - FORGET OCEAN DRIVE BRICKELL IS WHERE ITS AT!! Fados pub is in brickell it is full of all kinds of people American and English due to the football playing, the mimosas on The Weeknd are AMAZING ,we moved to Orlando and we are struggling to find the same sort of place which has the same service as FADOS BRICKELL has! Mimosas Saturday and Sunday is EVERYTHING!!!

I go to fado quiet often after kickball games. It's never let me down! The menu offers sandwiches, burgers, salads and Irish choices. I've tried their salmon bites which are not fishy and come with capers, Yummy! Oh and you need to try the fish tacos! They were mouth watering. Too bad I forgot to take a picture.

First time here! Place is awesome, I have been to Ireland and I really had an amazing time here, of course it is Miami, but these guys have done great with the wood tones and overall feel of this pub. We watched footy today and had brunch. Breakfast sandwich and the spicy potatoes were amazing! Great Service as well from James, who insisted we call him Jimmy, he said he would do his best to give is the Irish Experience We will be back.

Mary Brickell Villages Best spot, and with all the construction around the area, its seems like the best and only spot left in Brickell. Meg was our Bartender at The confession box! What a cool bar, if you have not sat outside at this spot you are definitely missing out. Me and my crew had Moscow Mules, Mini Burgers and Old Fashioned's. Cool place to watch any sports, we will be back for NFL tomorrow!

SeeI arrived here randomly after going to the gym next door. This place is located in the very center of downtown and popular Mary Brickell Village. There is parking in the garage which can be quite pricey so be aware of your time hanging out here. Anyway when I walked in it was through their outdoor bar area. There were a few people around for a Sunday late afternoon. The bar was stocked and the bartender was attentive. She was very good at checking in mid meal. However I was a bit lost initially trying to find a server or anyone to help me obtain a menu. They have a slim one page menu. Brunch is from 930am to 330pm. I missed it but it seemed like a really decent brunch. $15 for unlimited mimosas and food seemed about $13-16. Coming from New York City this is pretty typical brunch prices. Anyway I ordered one of their signature cocktails and my go to drink...Moscow mule. It was made with absolut vodka which made it taste pretty authentic. For food I ordered their beer battered chicken tenders. It came with their very own mustard as a sauce (which I wish more came out with the dish). The chicken tenders were a little greasy. I don't know if they rushed it out of the kitchen but it could've rested a bit longer. The side potatoes were okay. It really wasn't anything to rave about. I think the brunch dishes would've tasted better. At the bar they also played football so it seemed like a decent to watch a game. They played top 40 music in the background which gave it a nice vibe. Overall, this wouldn't be at the top of my list but a brunch place I would consider if I had guest in town.
Definitely the place to be if you enjoy beer, breakfast and English Premier League Soccer at 730am!! I have been frequenting Fado for many years and most of the time for early morning soccer. Fado's will reliably be open for the first game of the day (normally 730am) during the season and serves up some delicious breakfast. There's always a nice, and at times animated, soccer crowd on most weekends which just adds to the great atmosphere. Fado is also home to the official Miami chapter of the Arsenal fan club who boast an impressive private room towards the back of the restaurant. The breakfast options are great with a full English breakfast, Eggs Benedict and breakfast sandwiches always available. A full bar, some great cocktails, bottomless mimosas and lots of beer options are also always available. The staff are always on point and usually provide quick reliable service even during the peak times. Parking is probably the only down side as being in the heart of Mary Brickell Village the city lots can be expensive and street parking is difficult to find.

I just hate the way this place smells. The service is spotty at best but they lose the 3 star because of billing. If I hadn't checked my card, they ran it for $47 instead of $13!!! As you can imagine, I immediately requested a refund.... shaddy!!!! They have some OK lunch specials but if you have an option, go somewhere else.

I came here with a few co-workers for their Happy Hour (which runs M-F 4-8pm) a few months ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior; there was a little private "room" that we were ushered into, which had cool empty bottles lining the wall and made it really nice to hang out in for the rest of the afternoon until evening. I really liked that they offer a couple of options of "normal" cocktails for their Happy Hour; I personally really enjoyed the Moscow Mule, while my coworkers enjoyed their Blueberry Mojito! There was definitely alcohol in there, and it was served in an authentic copper mug, as it should be! We also got a couple of their $6 appetizers to share and we really loved the Giant Pretzel and Fries. Those make for good sharing options. We also got the sliders and it wasn't bad either! I have heard good things about their fish and chips, and I will definitely have to return for that. But otherwise, a solid bar serving solid options in a nice part of town!

Yum food where you can catch the soccer games. I had the fish and chips. It's located in the Mary Brickell shopping area.

I was at a retirement party today. During the party, we were offered appetizers before dinner. Although all the food and appetizers were delicious, my favorite was the miniature Shepherd pies with mashed potatoes on top. They were delicious! Everyone was very courteous, and eager to serve and please. I highly recommend having an event there, and look forward to returning there someday soon.
