went there a couple of times in August/Sept.
good place for a burger, i probably prefer the Miller time burger from Hilton City Center, however it was nice being able to sit outside on a warm day, gulping beer and watching the construction workers work so so so so slowly, and simply people watching
Jill is a great server that's why i gave her a fat tip, sometimes to make a person happy while you're happy
icing on the cake was later I found out eating there earned me some miles too :-)
Holy Hell, do I want to give this place 5 stars on their grilled cheese alone.
But I ain't gonna!
1. No hostess station so we sat ourselves...only to watch another table get seated...and handed menus....and be served their drinks...(yes this could have been our bad).
2. Grilled cheese and tomato soup = omg potential. MINUS: the grilled cheese was on the verge of cold! The soup was hot...and by golly I want my grilled cheese still bubbling from the grill. But adding bacon, tomatoes, and avocado ....drool worthy.
3. Their specials on the table tent didn't match those in the actual menu. Get. Cho. Shit. Together.
That's all. Little more effort next time please!
When I go to Mo's I don't think much of the atmosphere when I walk in the door but not much long after entering, the place turns out to be one of the most fun, enjoyable experiences. The staff is great, friendly, and the service is very good. It's impossible to have a bad time at Mo's.
The drinks are reasonable, the food is really good. The reuben is one of the best ever found around town.
Downtown Milwaukee at 7pm on a Saturday night was...dead. What?!
In search of food we came across Mo's and unlike everything else, was open! And there were people in it! Score! We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation during dinner with both the bartender and the assistant manager, both great guys with great tips on places to go and see during our short visit.
The drinks were cheap, $4 for a rum and diet[!] hell yes! The food was good, I stuffed a burger and side salad in my face and it was gooooood. The meat seemed very fresh...probably because there are a lot of cows in WI.
Overall a really enjoyable place to drink, eat, and smoke inside[!!!]. I really enjoyed the smoking at the bar part since you can't do that in Chicago.
Simply awful. Lousy atmosphere and food. Not impressed by the Irish imported decor and staff, its just another TGI Fridays with an "Irish" theme.
And as far as not having many options living in Milwaukee, that is complete and utter bullshit. There is more to this town than Water Street!
I like Mo's
Nothing special, but the food was good. Our lemonade was the most watered down drink I've ever had, and it really felt like we were inconveniencing the server when we asked for new ones. It does have the cheesy Irish theme going, but whatever. Once we got decent drinks and our food, it was a good meal. Especially the fries. Oh man, they were piping hot and delicious.
Holy crap, people smoke in bars still?
I stumbled to Mo's one night from a tour of downtown, or Old World, Milwaukee. I don't know much about this town, but I know that there are lady bugs on buildings and drinks are cheap. One of my favorite beers is Guinness, and of course I had to stop at the local Irish Pub for some boozin--and I did.
This place ain't half bad. I was alone and wandering aimlessly, but I was able to make friends. It's a great small town bar... and coming from a big town, I really can appreciate the feel of this place.
Kudos!
My cousin took me here for a "snack" and a frosty bevvie.
First of all, I forgot that just because Illinois is smoke free, doesn't mean that our neighbors Up North have followed suit. Thankfully the non-smoking section was separated enough so that I could enjoy my meal.
That brings me to the food... We ordered a sampler platter of appetizers and the garlic cheese fries. Since I was in the Dairy State, I had high expectations for the garlic cheese fries. Sadly, there weren't cheesy or garlicy enough. On the sampler platter, the chicken quesadillas were ok. Nothing special. The spinach artichoke dip was bland. They had something they called a "shalaylee" which looked like hamburger meat in an eggroll wrapper. That actually tasted ok, but hardly a good reason for a repeat visit.
The server was attentive and friendly, which is probably the nicest thing I can say about this place.
Avoid anything "Mo" like the plague. Seriously, there is no good reason to go here or anywhere else associated with the "Mo" team.
If you live in Milwaukee, maybe add some "Mo" to your rotation as, quite honestly, you don't have that many options.
If you are visiting Milwaukee, go to the Third Ward and enjoy anything there versus any "Mo" garbage.
My boyfriend and I stopped at Mo's for a quick lunch before catching the Miller Park express bus. They have a decent beer selection and a typical "Irish bar" menu. We tried the Reuben Quesadilla and the Cheeseburger Shalaylee. The quesadillas were ok, but there was hardly any kraut on them. The Shalaylee was just weird. It was basically ground beef stuffed in an egg roll wrapper; I didn't taste any cheese (only grease!). The food was pricey, too.
The service was mediocre. There was about one waitress for every two tables, but our waitress was slow and hard to get a hold of.
Mo's is a decent "pub" but I probably won't be back.
Oh, dear, can they pour a drink here!
Beautiful people to watch, but sadly, they are all singing 90's songs at the top of their lungs. Kind of takes the hotness down a notch...
I have to go against the grain here... I think Mo's is pimp status! Like most "Irish bars" the food is not much more than pub food.. however, I enjoyed the food very much! The best thing about Mo's is the live music. I enjoy the music every time I go! You will enjoy Mo's!
the whole mo-titled restaurant thing is totally amusing. MO-cha, MO-ceans...apparently nothing irish-sounding starts with an O or MO. can't wait for the MOngolian restaurant.
as for the place itself, who drinks downtown anyway?
This is the best bar food that I have ever had. As I was walking by the tables everything looked so good. I had the chicken quesadillas and they were awsome. The red sauce was really tangy and full of flavor. I also had the corned beef. It was top notch. And the horsey sauce was the very light and flavorful. I useally don't like anything on the meat, but this stuff made it much better. This is a great college bar. The drinks are plentiful and the staff is Johnny on the spot. I just wish this place was a little closer to Chicago.
A little pompous for an "Irish Pub" When I went in with a decent button up shirt (untucked) and jeans, I was given a "Can I help you?" from the greeter that sounded more like a "What are YOU doing here?". So, lets just say the service was somewhat lacking for myself.
The steaks had a good texture, but the spices tasted of burnt pepper, tasted like it was cooked an a dirty surface.
Their saving grace is a nice array of stout draft beers, which they serve quite well.
If you are looking for a place to lean back and relax, this isn't the place. I was surrounded by people in suits, and a wait staff that thought that I should have one on too. Pass this up unless you are a little more prim and proper.
Mo's is OK. I went to school in Milwaukee and there are a lot of great bars and pubs there. Mo's is fine, but nothing special.
I did have the Reuben sandwhich which (along with a Cob Salad) is my baseline for any bar food. It was very good. The service was relatively mediocre.
The beer is cold -- two pints of Guiness.
Lot's of people smoking in the place. As every year goes by I get less tolerant of that, but that may just be me.
Who is this Mo person? Well it took us a while to find a place to eat on a Friday for lunch. After much searching we found Mo's. After a prompt seating you will find your traditional diner/Irish pub food. So 3 lunch specials everyone was satisfied and we made our flight.
This place is so fake. Talk about buying and importing authenticity. This places sucks all around - bad food (is that even bread??), overpriced beer, plastic no-brained staff, no parking (or should i say mo parking as everything has a mo attached). If you want a real Irish bar don't go here.
I was really not all that impressed with this place. I have been here twice and the service was not that great. Both times the place was "I can barely breathe because there are so many people here" busy. We were unable to stand it and had to leave after a drink, maybe two if we were lucky. I heard the food here is halfway decent but I have never been able to try any of it yet. I will have to go in an off-peak hour.
I like Mo's Irish Pub for great beer and great food. I've been here on a number of occasions including a rehearsal dinner in a private room. I'm a huge fan of their chicken fingers and Guinness beer; makes for a great combination.
stopped in for a drink on our way back to the hotel from Irish Fest. typical Irish bar/pub/restaurant. there's pretty much a place like this every other block in Chicago, so nothing special for me. there was an irish musical group playing in the back section of the bar and plenty of televisions showing espn/brewers. the fried calamari i had wasn't all that special, compared to what i've had at other places. on my next visit to Milwaukee, i'm sure i will end up here at some point.
