"Greatest Pub outside of Dublin"
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/27/07
I love it here. Gerard and Ann make this a pub unlike any other in Canada. The food is second to none, the service is superior, and the value for money is the best. When I am homesick for my local back home in Ireland I can go to the James Joyce and be whisked away. This is simply the greatest establishment of any kind not only in Calgary but in North America. Well done! Slante!

"Traditional Irish Cuisine"
by Tanya (from Kelowna)
July 2009 - Walking into the James Joyce pub, you feel like you could be walking into a pub in the middle of Dublin. Everything about this pub has the traditional Irish feel to it, although the servers don't have that fantastic Irish accent.
It was a warm evening so we opted to sit outside on the patio looking onto 4th street. They have a great selection of beer here, including (of course!) Guiness. Although their pints are a bit pricey, it's worth it for the charming Irish atmosphere. We ordered the Irish Potato Nachos to start. They didn't have quite enough cheese on them for me but they were really good. Although full after the nachos, I somehow still managed to eat the Spicy Thai Chicken Penne. And yes I do realize that this is not a typical Irish dish. It was good but I was expecting and could have used a little more spice to it.
Overall I would recommend James Joyce pub. Live bands often play here on the weekends and it has a good relaxed feel to it.

"James Joyce"
by Tamara (from Edmonton)
July 2008 - It was our first time in Calgary and we decided on an Irish pub. Which ended up being absolutely great experience. We chose a table outside, which was nicely set up. We ordered a beer taster, which included four different types of beer, loved every beer. Our waitress was courteous and recommended our entrees, which were very delicious and exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend this pub to anybody who wants a great meal and a great atmosphere.
