Reviews for James Joyce Irish Pub & Eatery in Tampa, FL
Since moving to Ybor, I have found JJ to be my "Cheers" pub! The very first time I walked in to try out the food/beer, I was... greeted with the warmest and welcoming service by Brandon! I told him we were new to neighborhood and he was so inviting andoffered us tips on great things to try! I have always had a soft spot for an Irish pub.....and love the kind in darker/olderbuildings...which JJ has! The wings are by far my favorite here! Oh let me not forget those tater tots.....WOW!!! There isalways something fun going on here too.......live music, karaoke (my fav), ladies night, $1 taco on Tuesday, Bingo (not yourregular kind of bingo either ;-)), Trivia........the list goes on! To be honest...I love all the staff here.....Rene, Katie,Cady, Chris, Gabe, Marko, Chance, Natasha, Jason, Nick, Brandon (mentioned earlier, duh), Janice.....every time I come in...itslike coming to visit family! I love the regulars too....we all have a bond and its a beautiful thing! They have so much tooffer here....so if you have not visited yet....then what are you waiting for?! JJ has been a big part of why I have trulyenjoyed living in the area! If you like to have fun....this is for sure the place to indulge in that! JJ will always have aspecial place in my heart! I added some pics of some amazing times and people from this place, to help give you a visual view ofwhat I'm speaking about! :-) Read more
I very much enjoyed my experience at this spot. Great beer selection. Scotch egg could be better, but I enjoyed the curry... ketchup with it. And the fish n chips were just alright. I really loved our bartender/server though. He alone is why I'd comeback! Great music!!! Read more
Love James Joyce every time! We visit on the weekends pretty regularly. The wings, burgers, and Reubens are some of the best in... Tampa. The cole slaw is my favorite side. We also love the guinness tots and fried pickles. Natasha is an outstandingentertainer, bartender, and fun friend to catch up with every time we go. Just call us forever fans! Read more
Fantastic experience! I had a friend visiting the USA from Denmark, and we decided to come here for the the good selection of... beer, and pub atmosphere as recommended by friends. Chris, was friendly, welcoming and attentive in serving us. We had awonderful time, and since we were new to the area Chance made sure we got to our car safely. Great staff and great beer. Thankyou guys! Read more

The place is a fun, sort of off the beaten path place. It's not on 7th which is nice but it's still very close to ybor. The... staff is fantastic and the food is wonderful! The Guinness toppers are pretty original too. And I love the bathroom sign.???????? Read more
This was my first time at James Joyce Irish Pub and it wasn’t bad. The staff was really pleasant and lots of fun! The food was... pretty good…and the bathroom was clean for the most part. I would definitely come more so for the drinks then the food but Iwould be back. Read more
