Fado Irish Pub (Midtown)

The Vibe

Walk into Fado Midtown on any Premier League Saturday morning and you will find three different supporter groups in three different corners, each claiming their patch of this authentic Irish pub. At the corner of Peachtree and 8th Streets, this is where Atlanta's English football culture lives and breathes. The Manchester United supporters fill one section in red, the Chelsea fans occupy another in blue, and the American Outlaws post up for USMNT matches with flags and scarves draped over every available surface.

The Setup

The entire interior was designed and constructed in Ireland, then shipped to Atlanta for installation. Deep woods, a proper Whiskey Room, iconic Irish beer branding, and specialty paint and fixtures create different experiences within a single space. Thirty-two screens across a 250-seat venue mean you can always find your match, and the staff knows which audio zone belongs to which group. The pub opens early for Premier League, Champions League, and international fixtures no matter how early they kick off.

The Supporter Clubs

Fado Midtown is the official gathering spot for three distinct supporter groups. ATLMUFC, the Manchester United Supporters Club of Atlanta, shows every Red Devils match here and sells official merch through the pub. The Atlanta Blues CFC, Chelsea's official supporters club in the metro area, claims Fado as their home for all matches. And the American Outlaws Atlanta chapter makes this their base for USMNT and USWNT games, bringing the drums and chants that define AO culture.

Food and Drink

This is a proper Irish pub with a kitchen that takes its food seriously. Traditional Irish fare like fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and a full Irish breakfast are complemented by an excellent whiskey selection. The bar pours a proper pint of Guinness and carries a strong selection of Irish and craft beers. Weekend brunch service means you can eat well while watching the early matches.

Who Goes There

The crowd splits depending on the match. Weekday Champions League nights bring a mixed crowd of football obsessives. Saturday and Sunday mornings belong to the EPL faithful, with Man United and Chelsea fans anchoring the space. USMNT qualifiers and tournament matches bring the biggest, loudest crowds. The pub also partners with Atlanta United for special events and watch parties, bridging the MLS and European football communities.

Getting There

Located on Peachtree Street in the heart of Midtown, Fado is walkable from the Midtown MARTA station. Street parking is available on surrounding blocks, and several parking decks are within a block. For World Cup 2026, the Midtown location puts you on the main transit corridor to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
