Start Celebrating St. Pat's Early at Fadó - Enter To Win Passes To The Bushmills Whiskey Tasting

Fadó Irish Pub& Restaurant is known for having the best St. Patrick’s Day party in Atlanta. This year is no exception; the party will fill Fadó and spill out onto Peachtree starting in the pre-dawn hours on Saturday, March 17. The day will be packed with Super Saturday 6 Nations Rugby, Irish dancers, a U2 tribute band and lots more. Buy tickets in advance here.

Fadó is preparing for this unforgettable party by having several tasting events this week. Some of the “pre-gaming” events include a Guinness Black Lager and Foreign Extra Stout tasting that begins at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 9; Paddy Pickleback shots are $3 each starting at 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 10; and the Paddy's Day Irish Session is not to be missed at 8 p.m. on Monday, March 12. 

If you're over 21, you're the perfect age to have fun at the upcoming spirit tastings at Fadó and to help fight childhood cancer in the process. On Tuesday, March 13, 92.9 davefm radio host Rich Sullivan will be at Fadó for a Bushmills Whiskey tasting beginning at 7 p.m. For $39.95 per person, guests will enjoy a tasting of five whiskeys and six dishes guided by Master of Whisky Kevin Mulcahy of Diageo, the world's leading premium spirits distributor. The food portion of the menu includes salmon bites, lamb and bleu cheese sliders, hot brie rarebit, rasher- and Irish cheddar-stuffed mushrooms and mini cheesecakes.  Twenty percent of the night's proceeds will go to the Atlanta chapter of St. Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that supports childhood cancer research. Only 75 people can attend this rooftop-level event so be sure to grab tickets here ASAP.

Strong Men, Strong Drinks - Fadó Is The Only Place In Town To See The Entire 6 Nations Rugby Tournament

Get out your rugby shirts, or for the real fans out there, your favorite team jersey because it’s that time of year again! The 6 Nations Rugby Tournament, February 4 – March 17, will showcase England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales as they battle it out for this year’s title. You won’t miss a single moment of the action thanks to Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant in Buckhead, which is the only spot in town broadcasting all of the games.

Fadó already has the viewing scheduled posted online for all of you diehard fans, and if you’re new to the rugby scene, here's a website where you can brush up on all the rules.  There is no cover charge to watch any of the games shown on BBC America; otherwise, a $20-per-person cover charge will apply.  Since tournament games are all set and the winner is determined though a point system, we can guarantee that the final Ireland vs. England game will fall on St. Patrick’s Day!  That calls for a celebration, and Fadó’s new winter menu (running through February 29) has plenty of new concoctions for you to try.

Along with downing Fadó's Irish coffee, Bailey's and coffee, and hot apple cider with Bushmills Irish Whiskey ($7.50), fans can tilt back whiskey favorites such as Fadó's famous Pickleback, Red Breast, Black Bush and Jameson 12 ($7.50-$10.50) and seasonal bottles of Sam Smith Winter Welcome, West Malle Tripel, Avinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout or Guinness Black Lager ($5.50-$9).  Cheers! 

Because Every Tuesday Deserves A Whiskey Dinner...

Why wait until next week to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day when you can start now?  Head to Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant in Buckhead tomorrow at 7 p.m. - the authentic pub is throwing the largest St. Patrick's Day party in the city of Atlanta beginning with the Second Annual Tower Beer, Wine & Spirits Whiskey Dinner!  This Irish whiskey tasting, hosted by Master of Whiskey Kevin Mulcahy, features a selection of delicious hors d'oeuvre paired with festive beers and whiskeys for $39 per person (all inclusive).

The five-course menu includes Smithwick's mini burgers paired with a sampling of Guinness, Harp Lager or Smithwick's Ale; corned beef rolls paired with Bushmills Original; smoked salmon bites paired with Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt; sausage rolls in puff pastry paired with Bushmills Black; and chicken boxty quesadillas paired with Bushmills 16 Year Single Malt.  Everyone will end the evening with Baileys and coffee.  What a delicious way to kick off everyone’s favorite March holiday!
