Our Story
Our Irish and family roots run deep. We opened in 1995, and nearly 30 years later three generations of Morans are now involved in the pub. If you’ve ever been to Moran’s Pub, you are part of our family, too. We love our patrons, and our patrons love us back. We’ve been chosen as Milwaukee’s Best Sports Bar, Best Bar to Watch Soccer, and Best Trivia Night. We are also home to Milwaukee’s Best (James prefers “Okayest”) Bartender serving our famous hand-crafted cocktails and perfect pints of Guinness. We’re a great place to watch the big game. Our leagues are legendary. Our special events are special. With our unique weeks-long “St. Patrick’s Day’s” celebration, we bring Ireland to South Milwaukee – and we return to our homeland with annual trips. And our historic building, beautifully renovated and now with an outdoor beer garden, tells its own unique story.
Sports, Leagues & Special Events
We have darts and pool on Tuesdays, Trivia Wednesdays, and more. We’re your home for soccer. We love the Packers, Brewers, Badgers and Bucks, too. Our events are special, starting with Saint Patrick’s Days.
Craft Beverages
We use only the highest quality ingredients like homemade simple syrup and fresh fruit juice in our classic, handcrafted cocktails. Our famous Mules and Old Fashioneds showcase the flavors of Wisconsin and Ireland, and add a unique Moran’s twist. We love our espresso martinis. We have a wide variety of wines and non-alcoholic drinks. And, of course, we also serve a great pint of Guinness.
St. Patrick's Days
We celebrate St. Patrick’s Days like no one else. (The “s” is on purpose. Our celebration is throughout March.) Every year brings something different, but expect more than a week of Irish music, food, dancing, culture, and (of course) beer.
Our Trips Home
We love our Irish homeland – and want you to experience it with us. James leads annual trips to Ireland and the United Kingdom with our patrons, showing off some of his favorite destinations (including, of course, plenty of pubs) with stories and personality only he can provide. Our fall 2024 trip is sold out, and our next trip is planned for spring 2025.
