Never leave reviews for bars, but they gave us the royal treatment. Wished my friend happy birthday, great and chill attitude, even free garlic knots. Best. Bar. Ever.

Irish bar a block off 7th. They had a wide selection of food options. I had the bangers and mash. My friend had a burger and fries. Friendly service, nice size bar with local beers and booze.

James Joyce hands down is the best pub in Tampa. It's a given that the food and service is great and I'm sure that would be a takeaway for anyone reading these other reviews. It's the JJ staff that requires a standing ovation. I've never met such personable, caring, funny & fun staff at any establishment I've ever been and this has turned me into a regular. The perks of being a regular such as the drinking team, the punch cards, and rewards points are great. Nick, Chris, Cady, Sadie, Izzy, Rene, Danny, Justin, Captain Kirk, the kitchen staff, as well as others I may be forgetting are all great people and this place sure knows how to pick their staff so much so this pub is like a family and the owners are great people as well. James Joyce has the best Guinness I've had, the best wings & other dishes, as well as phenomenal entertainment. I would highly suggest stopping in on a Monday or Friday evening to grab dinner, a drink or 5, & listening to Captain Kirk the live entertainment. Don't hesitate to try some of the best wings you'll ever have, a reuben, prime rib sandwich, etc. one of the 50 beers on tap, a great selection of liquors, perfectly poured mixed drinks, and an atmosphere to keep you coming back I promise you wont be disappointed

One of the best experiences we have had in a long time. Izzy was the best! We came in with a big group, took up the back 2 high top tables. She didn't miss a beat, on point! Such a great time. Loved it! We will definately be back, you be ready Izzy <3

I had the shepherds pie. Last time I was there I had the Jamison's burger. You can't go wrong here. Parking is a bit expensive in this area.

When they ask if you want a double.. the drink cost x2 for an extra shot in the drink ?‍♂️ so my drink was roughly $20 for a vodka

Went on St. Patrick’s Day! Had the corn beef and cabbage, which was pretty good! I love how it’s next to the TECO streetcar line!
