Fado is a nice restaurant with good pub atmosphere. There are some cozy corner tables that are nice for dinner or a drink. Every monday there's a quiz night with drink specials, and the place is packed and it's a lot of fun. It's a $10 minimum per person, but have dinner there or a couple drinks and it's no problem to meet the min.
I went one weekend looking forward to having a quick drink with a friend, but there was a band playing and a cover charge. This isn't a bad thing, but check before going on a Friday or Saturday night if you're not looking for live music.
The food is pretty good. There's an excellent chicken burger with a Guiness sauce, and they actually Guiness ice cream, though I haven't tried it yet!
