James Joyce Irish Pub and Restaurant 912 West Main Street, Durham, NC 27701

"The food was good. The ribeye was well seasoned. But the service was horrible. You had to order everything at the bar. No waitress. The bartender was very nice. They just need a waitress to take care of the tables."

"Well, I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out, and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so clear, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful."

"This Irish dive bar is so fun and cute. Meg was serving us and had amazing energy and was very attentive. Food was great as well. I got the avocado BLT and was impressed. They have vegan sweet potato burger too which is nice since my husband is vegan. I look forward to returning!"

"Enjoyed the best ever Irish food and drinks tonight. The 2 of us ordered Bangers and Mash with Guinness Gravy and the Sea Dog. The Sea Dog is a hot dog size fish sandwich with homemade tartar sauce and cole slaw. The fries were fresh and crunchy - (not at all soggy as another reviewer had falsely claimed) which came with the Sea Dog were drizzled with fresh garlic and parsley. Yummy! The Bangers and Mash were also delicious! For dessert we shared their Rasberry Donut Crumbles cheesecake! Service was fast too.. Definitely will be back!"
