Our History
The first location opened in downtown Milwaukee in 2003. Mo’s was named after founder Johnny Vassallo's mother, Maureen, who is of 100 percent Irish heritage. Vassallo was invited by Guinness to travel to Ireland where he spent time visiting traditional pubs and learning about Irish culture. From his travels, he was inspired to import the first Pub’s bar straight from Ireland, transporting guests to The Emerald Isle the minute they walk through the doors.
