We are not taking any to-go orders this evening. Dine-in will be by walk-in only, please expect a significant wait. We've had an extremely busy week, so can not guarantee we have enough food to last the evening. Beer selection is also limited as we are running down our inventory.

Thank you for your understanding, and thanks for your continued patronage!

Our Story

In 2001 we opened the doors of The Pub in downtown Oconomowoc, bringing the first Irish restaurant to the area. We have evolved over the years, and while we still offer some of our original signature dishes, we've incorporated many diverse and contemporary dishes to the menu. We are now so much more than just an Irish Pub!

We endeavor to make you feel welcome and relaxed in our establishment. Our quaint and quiet bar features perhaps the widest range of Irish Whiskeys and Scotches in the area - 75 to be precise. 14 tap beers served in 20oz pint glasses (standard pints are only 16oz) and a large selection of wines. Some may wonder where the tv is... we've purposefully never had a tv in The Pub, which is a reflection of our home in Ireland, where pubs are predominantly for socialising, chatting with your friends, and getting to know people in your community. We're always delighted when new friends can say 'It all began at The Pub.'

The Pub was built in 1892, and we've taken great care to highlight some of the building's original features in the rich yet modern atmosphere of our dining room. These original features include the tin ceiling, maple floor and exposed cream city brick wall. Add to this the minimal but rich artwork along with one of a kind hand crafted pieces for an interesting visual experience.
