The team here at the Irish Pub Company and McNally Design were delighted to be shortlisted for International Project of the Year in this year’s Fit Out Awards. To be a finalist for ‘International Project of the Year’ is very significant for our team because since the 1980’s we have been working hard exporting the Irish Pub and our food and beverage designs to many locations around the world! The project shortlisted for International Project of the Year in the Fit Out Awards is Fadó Midtown Atlanta; this project was opened by the Irish prime minisyer, Enda Kenny this year. High in our creative process in designing the new Fadó Pub was to evolve the brand and meet the challenges of the 21st Century influences. This outlet continues the Irish Story of the New Ireland, reaching out to include its global connections. As with all Irish Pub Company designs, Fadó Midtown is faithful to its roots; its Irish-ness continues to have centre stage but in more creative ways.
