From its early days as an upstart watering hole that combined the Flintstones with Danny Boy, Fado Irish Pub has become a solid, established citizen of LoDo. And tonight it will host Network After Work Denver, giving local professionals in all types of industries the chance to eat, drink and socialize in this unusual setting.
