Fadó Irish Pub and Restaurant at Lincoln Park will be the company's 12th Irish pub location and is part of a multi-million dollar redevelopment of the venerable Rhode Island facility. Fadó at Lincoln Park is scheduled to open in January of 2007. The Pub will be over 7,000 square feet in size on three distinct levels and will feature Irish Greyhound racing inspired design, materials, and artifacts. One side of the Pub will feature a 20 foot high glass wall that will overlook Lincoln Park's signature Greyhound racetrack. The Irish Pub Company of Dublin will design and build the Pub in Ireland. It will then be shipped to Lincoln Park for installation. The Pub will be uniquely suited to Lincoln Park and will feature elements that tell the story of Greyhound racing and the sport's historical connection to Ireland. The multi-level facility will be the product of months of intensive research, design, and procurement of furniture and artifacts from around Ireland specifically for use at Fadó at Lincoln Park. BLB Investors, LLC Prinicipal Len Wolman expressed the importance of the Irish Pub to the re-creation project. "We are transforming Lincoln Park into a world-class dining and entertainment destination for the people of Rhode Island and the New England region. The Irish Pub is an important part of that plan and we wanted to work with the top operators in the business like Fadó to deliver the best experience to our guests." Wolman continued, "As the cornerstone of our expansion in 2007, we know that Fadó will become a mainstay for our guests as a comfortable gathering place." Fadó CEO Kieran McGill said, "We are excited to be part of Lincoln Park's ambitious redevelopment project because we share their goal of providing customers with unmatched hospitality and a high quality, memorable experience. Like all truly great Pubs in Ireland, Fadó at Lincoln Park will be more than just great food and drink. It will be a home away from home for guests, and will create a distinctive energy and buzz inside the facility- what we in Ireland call 'the craic'. We're looking forward to meeting our new friends in Rhode Island and from around New England starting this January." The Fadó at Lincoln Park is part of the Fadó expansion plan which will continue through 2011.
