I stopped by James Joyce Irish Pub in Durham and had the best club sandwich and tomato soup I’ve ever had in my life! The sandwich was perfectly layered and full of flavor, and that soup… wow. I was honestly a little jealous they made tomato soup better than me — and I pride myself on my soup! Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and food that completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be
The food was great and worth the wait, though it did take a little bit to come out. If you go on Tuesday nights, there is trivia starting at 8pm and the winner wins a giftcard. The atmosphere is retains the older 2000s feel of Durham amid the modern restaurants that are spreading throughout downtown.
Great pub, great food, great staff. I’d absolutely come back here. The bartender (Emily) was awesome. The fish and chips were among the best I’ve ever had. The beer was cold. Hard to be disappointed.
