A stormy Tuesday night in January is no night to go pub ticking, and realistically this wasn't a pub ticking visit - but I did need to find somewhere for dinner for two; and the first place that crossed my mind (N2805 Krewe) was showing no availability on their website, and Fade Street Social was so near to where we were that I didn't even bother checking their website
I didn't need to - it was near completely empty when we arrived, and only the downstairs restaurant had started to get a little busy when we were finished - the cocktail bar upstairs still being just us.
Downstairs is a normal restaurant, specialising in steak; but upstairs is a cocktail bar with an extensive sufficiently-outdoor-to-smoke (I presume, it is outdoors anyway) terrace as well a reasonably sized bar room and a further dining room. The food on offer here is woodfired pizza, sorry, flatbreads; which are pretty decent - if a tad odd in terms of toppings; emphasising that they aren't normal pizza basically.
Not a great range of taps but a reasonable supply of Irish craft bottles; attentive staff and all in a nicely restored heritage building (it appears to have been Freemans food wholesale warehouse in Victorian times), with a fire going to stave off Storm Jocelyn outside.
This had been missed before now as it always seems exceptionally busy from the street level; but the upper bar area is big enough that it might not actually be that difficult to get in to - something I'll remember in future.
