Great food, but absolutely abysmal service. Came into get food when it was relatively quiet, ordered fine, but then the second an extra table or two filled we didn't see the waiter again unless we specifically flagged him down repeatedly. Asked for water 20 minutes after getting food and didn't see the waiter again for about 40 minutes. At that point asked for the check, waited another 30-35 minutes. Had to ask someone else at the bar for the check. Was then told they couldn't distribute checks by person (5 people), and it was either one person pay for everything or they split it evenly (no one ordered the same thing, and several people ordered several drinks). Not at all sure how wait staff was so unprepared for basic service, well beyond normal staffing issues I've come to expect lately

Listen, great food, massive seating, two stories, awesome service, and to sweeten the deal they're across from the riverside. Get you a little dinner before the show. We met two friends before a comedy show. I was impressed with the seating and bar layout. But what do care about layout for? You wanna know if the food good and if the drinks are cold. Yes and yes! Next time you have some stuff going on downtown Milwaukee and you need a bite. Stop into mo's tell em I sent ya!

This place has an entrance facing the corner of the street. As you walk in, you'll find a bar that is center to linear side of the restaurant. Seating along the sides with Irish decorations all around. Part of the seating includes and raised dance floor that I assume accommodates special events in live entertainment.On this last visit I had a pub burger and found that the texture of the bread was soft and pleasant. The beef. Patty was delicious! Juicy and had a good texture to it. The optional bacon was cooked just right too. Serving the tomato and onion on the top on was an interesting service choice. Doing so allowed me the option of easily removing something I didn't want.Host was charismatic and especially helpful. Pricing was just about right for this small meal coming in at about $20 a plate.

Horrible service... waited for 10 minutes at a table and no server appeared. Moved to open seats at the bar thinking it would be faster service. The bartender glanced at us while filling a drink order 5 feet from us. Didn't come over to us in the next 10 minutes so we left. There weren't a crazy amount of patrons either, maybe 60% capacity. Likely a result of the staffing issues since covid, but still a poor experience.

Good food, friendly service and a decent place to watch some March Madness. Our waitress was very friendly. Cheese curds were delicious!

Great, authentic atmosphere. The food was so so. The cheese curds were too salty for us to eat. But, that could just be our taste buds being overly sensitive. Unfortunately, our waiter was really distracted. We had to request everything (utensils, napkins, refills, etc). It was pure hit or miss whether he'd actually deliver what we requested. I am still waiting for my receipt! I am not sure if the service would have been better during a busy time. It was pretty dead in the place when we were there.

The upstairs was reserved for us for dinner after volleyball tournaments. They only had 1 person serving I think it was 35 people. (yeah, imagine how long things took) we had to go downstairs to order drinks and our orders were missing stuff. The table next to us found a piece of metal in their fish and people asked for ketchup for the fries which they never brought and the vegetables that came with our chicken was as raw as u could get. I heard good things about this place and was excited to try it but they failed on sooo many levels. And besides our party the place wasn't busy. Oh, and when I ordered a beer (batsh*t crazy) from 1 bartender she said it was out so I ordered another beer but then I tried again on the next beer with another bartender and he got it for me and said it was never out. ?

Service a little slow, reason being that a show at the Riverside. Food always good. Updated on 03/27/22 service is still slow but good was great

We went for a quick dinner prior to the Elton John concert since this was just down the street from our hotel. There was a crowd watching March Madness but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly, although not overly knowledgeable since it was his second day on the job. We got a bacon cheeseburger and a jalapeño grilled cheese and shared. The burger was really good; the grilled cheese was blah and even with bacon and jalapeños didn’t have much flavor. My companion had a “mo-hatten that she liked and I had Magners. Decently priced meal in downtown Milwaukee.

The staff were very friendly to our kids. Gave out balloons just because. Food was good as well. Would go here again.
