Pub takes over Miami’s Mary Brickell Village & closes off South Miami Ave
for Miami’s second annual Irish bash
Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant will roll out the barrels, pump up the pipe and amplify the pub culture in South Florida for its second-annual, weeklong St. Patrick’s Day training schedule in preparation for its PADDYTHON event in Miami’s Mary Brickell Village, located at 900 South Miami Ave.
Last year, more than 4,000 people invaded Mary Brickell Village for Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant’s St. Patrick’s Day event, with a block party dominating the square all day and most of the night and an indoor pub celebration that left everyone all shades of green by the end of the festive night. Bag pipers and Irish dancers showcased the best of Ireland as patrons and guests got a taste of Ireland.
This year, Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant is setting the bar even higher with more events. The brave are invited to take part in the series of events leading up to the PADDYTHON that combines drinking, competition, intellect and charity into a week surely to bring on camaraderie and debauchery amongst all guests.
The five-room pub recently celebrated its one year anniversary, and has plans to take that successful celebration to new heights. From March 10 through March 17, Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant has organized multiple events for patrons to learn more about the Irish culture and meaning of St. Patrick’s Day through food, friends, festivities and fun!
