Fado
This Irish pub, which is in downtown Philly, certainly won't disappoint the St. Paddy's day connoisseur. Fado actually means "long ago" which means how long ago, or how long it has been, that Ireland has had Irish pubs. Enjoy their Saturday night dance party along with pints of Guiness, corned beef rolls, Trinity steak boxty and other Irish treats such as Guinness ice cream or Boddingtons Draught beer.
Fado is located at 1500 Locust Street.
