Upon receiving a degree in Bar Management from the Dublin Institute of Technology and working in the hospitality industry in Ireland, Ollie O’Neill came to the states in 1995 and began working in some of Fairfield County CT’s most popular Irish pubs including Fiddler’s Green, Tigin, and The Playwright. The mantra of FADO (translatedlong ago) Company (owners of Tigin) is to “to tell stories of Ireland’s rich and celebrated pub culture” while exuding Irish warmth and friendliness, mixed with good food, drink, and great company – aka “Craic”. Giving credence to this idea, Ollie decided to venture out on his own.
