About This Venue
County Clare Irish Inn & Pub is a traditional Irish hotel, restaurant, and pub located on Milwaukee's East Side offering authentic Irish hospitality, comfort food, and lodging in a prime location near Lake Michigan and downtown.
This charming establishment welcomes guests with genuine Irish warmth—the name itself means "one hundred thousand welcomes" in Gaelic—and delivers an immersive Irish experience through both its décor and cuisine. The kitchen specializes in fresh, homemade Irish and American comfort food, served in a traditional pub atmosphere perfect for conversation and connection. The restaurant operates Monday-Friday from 5pm-9pm and weekends from 11am-9pm, with weekend brunch available, and reservations are encouraged, especially for larger Friday and Saturday evening parties.
Beyond dining, County Clare functions as a boutique guesthouse offering comfortable rooms for both leisure travelers and business visitors, with special packages and discounts available for AAA members and corporate guests. The location on North Astor Street puts visitors within walking distance of Brady Street's shops and restaurants, steps from Lake Michigan's waterfront, and near Henry Maier Festival Park, home to Milwaukee's celebrated Irish Fest and other cultural events throughout the year. The inn also accommodates private events and meetings, making it a versatile destination for celebrations, business gatherings, and those seeking an authentic Irish home-away-from-home experience.
