About This Venue
Mo's Irish Pub Downtown is Milwaukee's award-winning Irish pub serving scratch-cooked food, expertly poured Guinness, and authentic Irish hospitality in a bar imported directly from Ireland.
Located at 142 W. Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Milwaukee, Mo's Irish Pub has been a neighborhood staple since 2003, when founder Johnny Vassallo opened the doors to create a genuine Irish experience inspired by his travels to the Emerald Isle. Named after Vassallo's mother Maureen, the pub features an extensive selection of craft, domestic, and imported beers, with the bar itself transported from Ireland to instantly transport guests across the Atlantic. The lively atmosphere makes it perfect for gathering with friends and family any time of day.
Beyond its impressive beer menu and signature scratch-cooked comfort food, Mo's serves as downtown Milwaukee's unofficial St. Paddy's Day headquarters and hosts live music throughout the year. With big TV screens for catching your favorite sports, generous hours (open from 3pm weekdays and 11am weekends), and a philosophy centered on camaraderie and community, Mo's has earned consistent recognition as the city's best Irish pub and remains a welcoming destination whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time.
