In America, talk of soccer historically has evoked images of mini-vans and juice boxes. Well, times are changing. There is a new face of soccer in America and soccer moms have nothing to do with it. The subculture of soccer in American cities has been emerging for some time now. Fans have long been gathering […]
This entire “conscious uncoupling” malarkey has got me thinking. First of all, “conscious uncoupling” is probably the most pretentious term one could spout out of one’s mouth. But, if I were to be honest (as a self-confessed beer snob) I get the same sort of backlash to my ‘approach’ to beer drinking. For example, I […]
I’ll be honest. I had a bit of a St Patrick’s Day hangover …well, metaphorically speaking anyway. It’s been a full month of nothing but Guinness and whiskey and I need a break! As I started to record some event notes as a debrief (like party shot pouches were a HIT – do that again!), […]
So every year we put together a series of FAQ (frequently asked questions) that will help party goers on St. Patrick’s Day navigate cover charge, parking, the menu, the band schedule and the dog question (which is a no – sorry.) We’ll do that again of course, but this go around I got to thinking […]

Despite where your mama made ya, St. Patrick’s Day at Fado is so big it’s an actual season- and not just […]
I wouldn’t be too sure that Carrie Bradshaw and the Sex and City girls would still order that classic “Cosmo” if they were around to hit the town this Friday night. That Cosmo and Manolo shite is SO 1999. Industry big wigs with their fancy charts and graphs are telling everyone right now that brown […]
If you’re reading you probably already know a bit about who we are so I will spare you some big intro. Let me start with this: working for our pub is good fun. I know this because I’ve been doing it for awhile now. Before that, it was my local, which means you can trust […]
We are a few months into the Premiership season and, in my humble opinion, NBC has done alright by soccer fans with their coverage. They’ve got the right games on, the commentators are alright (ok, so who doesn’t think they could do a better job on the mic themselves) and they have done a pretty […]
