County Clare Irish Inn & Pub

I've been a regular customer of this place for a few years now, and this is the first time that I take the time to provide a review. This is a very nice restaurant, comfortable ambiance, and amazing service. The food is quite tasty. Also, not sure if they still have it, but they used to play live Irish music on certain days, which made for a very nice dining experience. There was also a waitress named Lauren, who was one of the best, most efficient, professional and genuinely kind person one could meet. I haven't been there in some time, but it is not easy to maintain that level of satisfaction in the memory of customers over the years. I shall return soon. :-) Keep up the good job, folks.

We love it here - great food, drinks, music, events, and the room rate is an absolute steal. Service from everyone you'll meet is top-notch. Regulars and bartenders at the attached bar greet you like long-lost family. Cannot recommend County Clare highly enough.

I came for the whirlpool and left absolutely relaxed and happy.

I was greeted with clear instructions of amenities. This was my first ever being here. My room was clean. The stay was quiet. Every site line was lovely. I loved looking at the candid moment hung above my bed. I enjoyed the morning light cracking through the patterned curtain. My coffee was nice. I slept great. And oh my goodness the jets in the whirlpool were fantastic. I also enjoyed the variety of illustrated signs and candid photos in the pub. I felt like I stepped into a story.

This was my first time stay at the County Clare Inn & Pub and I had such a wonderful time. I stayed in one of the “smaller” rooms situated next to the elevator and I found it to be still incredibly spacious, comforting and the cottage core style was lovely. You could not hear the elevator at all! The bathtub in the room was incredible spacious and easy to use as well as the shower. We also chose to dine with the pub during our stay for dinner and it was just so charming. The food was delicious and as a vegetarian who is sober with a partner who likes beer and meat, we both had a lot of options to go for on their menu. We also were able to get a breakfast voucher with our stay and it was far beyond the normal continental breakfast we assumed. The omelettes were made to order by a wonderfully kind chef and we enjoyed our breakfast amongst the authentic and gorgeous decor and a beautifully lit Christmas tree. The staff at the front desk was polite and so helpful in explaining the unique qualities of the hotel and throughout our stay I felt as though we truly discovered one of Milwaukee’s hidden gems. I could not recommended this boutique hotel more!

Have stayed here a few times now and am yet to be disappointed. The County Clare always provides a good experience from start to finish. Rooms are reasonable (and so book up quickly), very clean and a good size. Whirlpool tubs and walk-in showers are provided in every room I've stayed in. Parking is a bit dicey, but they will take care of it for you if there's nothing available when you get there. The pub itself is fantastic. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and the best pint of Guinness you'll find in town. Can get busy and noisy at the weekends, but which good places don't?! Decent breakfast, with made to order omelettes, is included and available from 8-10 in the morning. All in all they provide a wonderful alternative to the big box hotels in downtown Milwaukee.

Sunday dinner was the occasion. The pot roast melts in your mouth. The flavor was delicious and the portions were generous. Pricing will not require a second mortgage. Very reasonably priced. Carrot Cake was yummy. Food is prepared fresh so there is a bit of a wait but well worth it.

Really enjoyed our experience here.

Even though the place was packed, we were in need of nothing. Enjoyed the beer and food selections.

Fun atmosphere, acceptable food, friendly present service.

Live music even started towards the end of dinner.

Positive, it's difficult to find a more well-rounded Irish bar.

In fairness I have to preface this with fact that I have never eaten here nor stayed here. I had reservations for this Friday night for a room that I was forced to cancel. I fully expected to Forfeit my money but they were kind enough to return it. Based on the fact that customer service is very hard to find these days and they went above and beyond for me I would wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Had st pattys dinner here after parade. Jill and host were awesome. Lovely atmosphere. Quaint. Live music. Vegan Shepards pie was 🔥

Classic Irish pub with nice rooms. Probably not catering to business travelers, more of a couples get away but that doesn't stop our guys from staying here. Reasonably priced rooms and restaurant with exceptional quality. Staff is professional and friendly. Here for business but will be back for a visit. Picture of the pot pie, excellent.

Really pleasant stay. Great food, drinks, and service in the pub. Tasty breakfast. Friendly and knowledgeable staff at the front desk. Comfy rooms. Walking distance to the art museum.

My first experience staying at County Clare Inn will be hard to top. Check-in was easy and smooth. Any questions I had about anything were cheerfully answered by whoever was manning the desk, cleaning the rooms, or working the pub.
The room was comfortable and quiet. To some, it might seem dated, but it reminded me of places I had stayed in Ireland and Scotland.
I can't wait to come back. If I can't stay there next Milwaukee Irish Fest (someone has to cancel as it is fully booked Fest weekend), I will stop in for the food.
Great place!

County Clare is the jewel of Milwaukee! We stayed for 4 nights in late August / early September, so had plenty of time to get to know the Inn and its people. Dresha greeted us with warm enthusiasm and our room had an open layout that we absolutely loved. There is a jetted tub in every room!
The food in the Pub is hearty and rich. We went back for more, canceling plans elsewhere. From your table you can tip the kitchen staff - - a hardworking crew that few restaurants acknowledge - - and when you do, they thank you by clanging their pots and pans! And your server will cheerfully pour you a nightcap to take back up to your room.
The rates are competitive. No more chain hotels for us! We like to go to a different place each summer, but County Clare is definitely worth another visit.

The best Irish pub in Milwaukee! You can't get a better Guinness anywhere else. The servers and bartenders are great, and I've always enjoyed the food. They have occasional live music inside which is fun, and the outdoor patio is great during the summer, especially if you want a pet friendly place! They have Irish beer and liquers, but they also have a great selection of local brews! The dessert selection is also great. I personally loved the creme brulee, but my friends always order the bread pudding! I highly recommend stopping here, and reserve in advance if you want to stay overnight. The rooms are clean but quaint, and you get a free Guinness with each night of stay. Slainte!

Great location withing walking distance of Brady street activities and lots of restaurants.
Service was amazing as was the food. Rooms are slightly dated but that is also part of the charm.

I didn't stay here but the bar is absolutely amazing. Best Guinness in town with cozy atmosphere.

This place is great. The rooms are decent, the staff are very friendly and the continental breakfast is tasty. You get to choose how you like your fried eggs or omelette and the friendly (German?) chef cooks it for you.

What a wonderful little reasonably priced boutique hotel! County Clare feels more like a well appointed B&B than anything. It's got a cute little lobby, a fantastic pub, and the rooms themselves are warm and cozy with large jetted tubs. Location is excellent, too.

Thumbs up for the pub - food's delicious, staff is attentive, and the price can't be beat. Highly recommend pitching in $10 for the kitchen crew (it's an option on the menu) - they're rowdy and grateful when you do! 😄

Can't wait to come back for another visit!

This place was so amazing we had to stop for a second meal before leaving town. Legit legit legit. Reuben is actual chunks of corned beef and the Worcestershire gravy is so delicious. Cottage pie - also slammin. Great beer selection.

Only there for the food and really lucked out getting Payton as my waitstaff. Awesome menu choices made it tough on me. Payton helped me navigate instead of naviguess. I asked for a face-numbing gin and tonic and she brought it. Thanks! For the meal she helped me pick the Black Guiness (black currant) and a great choice in the hearty meatloaf I ordered. I'll be back.
