Live Music, Beer, and Lederhosen: It's Fadóktoberfest Time at Fado!

If you thought Oktoberfest was a German celebration, think again!  Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant is putting an Irish spin on the famous fall festival with Fadóktoberfest!  Their annual street party started six years ago and is still going strong, averaging 2,000 guests in attendance!  Doors open at 8 a.m. for live English Premier League action.  Then music by the Astral Freaks starts the street fest at 6 p.m., U2 cover band Desire takes over at 9:15 p.m., and a DJ will keep the party going for the rest of the night -- moving totally inside the pub from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m.  At 8 p.m. the feats of strength begin, with the Strongman Stein Holding Competition and a bratwurst eating contest!  So grab your Lederhosen and head down to Fadó!  Tickets are available through Spiral Entertainment; $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant:  273 Buckhead Avenue; 404-841-0066.
