What People Are Saying About James Joyce Irish Pub

In Short
A small, well-worn bar is surrounded by cozy tables in this dimly lit retreat. The crowd offers a mix of grad-student types and older patrons, and the decor is nostalgic without feeling cheesy. Live music, Gaelic football league and rugby action on the tube attract a crowd of regulars, as does the solid selection of stouts and brews on tap. The menu is heavy on pub fare, including a hearty, true-to-form shepherd's pie.

It's the only Irish pub anywhere near Duke, and it's perfect if that's your kind of bar. It's dark in there, with dark paneling on the walls--it's an actual bar, and it's right across the street from Brightleaf and the other young hangouts in the area. Check it out on the weekends.

I don't recommend this place for dinner. Our service was very slow! My date mis-calculated the tip (he meant to put more) and the waitress came back and asked for more money!! She was very rude and not a very good waitress to begin with. If you are going to the James Joyce, eat dinner beforehand!

This is such a great pub. The food is great, the service is great, the crowd is great, the atmosphere is great. Great live music on selected nights. Indoor/outdoor. Nothing negative whatsoever to say about the James Joyce!
