The foods was spectacular, and our waitress Natalie was great at suggesting drinks to go with our meal. She is friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and has passion for her profession. If she ever leaves the pub I'm hiring her.
Seated right away on a Friday night. The food was great. I got the Sheppards pie and my wife got the bacon cheese burger. Love the vast selection of Wisconsin beers. I'd definitely go back.
Host person was mia. Bartender had too important to talk to the new customer conversation with some blond lady for 5 min. Once we got passed that, wait staff was great, food came out fast and beer even faster!
Visited on 11/1 prior to nurse Blake show. Asked for a table n told it would be 30min. 1.5 hr later 5 people seated at table for 4. Out of certain cocktails, ordered off limited menu and waited 20 min for food. Waitress never returned. We finally left to get to show on time. Besides does poor service n no food, place needs a boatload of paint and updated. Of three women’s stalls only 1 was in working order. Have not been there for years but won’t return. What a dump it’s turned into 😩
In town for work and stopped by a couple times - once for drinks and another for food. Overall, I like the vibe. It’s “Irish” but lowkey. The bar is cool, and the staff seem chill. The beer selection is okay, but I think it could be a lot stronger given how many local brews come from this region of the country. And the food - it’s also good. Personally, chips and salsa are standard (therefore overpriced), but the shepherds pie with tri tip was pretty solid.
Conclusion - I’d visit again if I was in town and near riverside. But, there are so many options in that part of town that I recommend checking those out first.
Luckily, our server was so good, she made up for the rude bartender. The bartender was repeatedly snarky and I hardly think that that is wise when a customer is asking about seating a large group. With only 3 customers seated at the bar when we came in, you would think they'd want 15-20 out-of-towners dropping a bunch of money for dinner and drinks.
Efficient and kind staff work at Mo’s Irish Pub Downtown. The place is clean enough with a lively clientele. Prices are very reasonable for a metropolitan area downtown bar. Full beer, wine, and liquor license. This is a drinkers establishment. It’s loud and full of heavy hitters. The best part is the bar has actual panels so you can belly up but still have separation.
If you are looking for a place before a concert at the Riverside, there is none better for beer and atmosphere. Food trucks are always there on conert nights and the food is reasonably priced and delicious.
2021: Large Ceasar salad with grilled chicken to go, side of steamed veggies. Plenty leftover for lunch the next day. Friendly service
2022: Power salad with chicken to go. Special requests which were honored: no craisins, no cauliflower [replaced with pineapple:)], dressing on the side. Limited menu, salad greens not the freshest.
The bartender (I'm sorry I didn't get his name) was great and the bar was unexpectedly slammed with people before the The High Kings show over at The Pabst (fantastic Irish band btw). He did great keeping up with a place that was jam-packed.
The atmosphere is fun- typical American Irish Pub. My only disappointment was the food. We had a couple of appetizers. The price for the portion and quality was a definite letdown.
Laid back pub. We went during summer fest so it was low vibes but service was great
The grilled cheese with tomato soup was amazing! My husband didn't even want to taste the tomato soup because he normally hates it. When he finally did he really liked it! Server was nice. Buy one get one Guiness was ok. They had a Guiness rep there that taught the proper way to pour and then allowed us to do it. The garlic cheese fries were alright.
