JAMES JOYCE IRISH PUB & EATERY REVIEWS

This place is an absolute hidden gem just off the main strip in Ybor! If you’re even remotely hungry, do yourself a favor and order the Irish spice bag. it’s hands down the best thing on the menu. Packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addictive. Easily a 10/10. The vibe is great, the location is perfect if you want to avoid the crowds, and everything just hits right. Can’t recommend this spot enough—I’ll definitely be back!

James Joyce is not just an Irish pub, but an Irish home. The bartenders are amazing and asleep super personable. The food is just as good as the basically unlimited beer menu.

Good Saturday morning. This was our first time, from out of state. We dined yesterday evening ordered two fish and chips. The fish was over cooked very little fish at all. The Irish coffee was delicious. The establishment clean, environment friendly, staff polite, courteous and professional. I like the ambiance of the establishment. The courtesy James Joyce ride to hotel was a surprise. Thank you for your hospitality! Good day

Terrible representation of Ireland. You sour the irish traditions.

Piper was incredible. Super quick service super good drinks. Best car bombs I’ve ever had in my goddamn life.

Our basketball family enjoyed a night out at the Irish Pub. The pub was able to accommodate 25 of us in their private room. That included TV’s and live music.
