Irish Pub The James Joyce on Postcard

"Irish Eyes Are Smiling at James Joyce Irish bars tend to be a gathering place for local expat communities, and in Istanbul, that role is played by James Joyce—just off Nevizade Street in Beyoğlu. This bar has the typical attributes of a hospitable Irish establishment with its hearty menu, international beers, wooden bar stools and booths, and country-style ambience. James Joyce hosts live music acts every night of the week and telecasts international sporting events on its big screens. Visit here to bump into your fellow countryfolk."

I came here on Mon night for guiness as was missing London. It was quiet but I really liked the ambiance and atmosphere. Prices are fair, transparent and reasonable as on menus - no tourist or service charge. Also lots of facilities for groups including darts, pool table. Also lovely rooftop vibes.

Good Guinness and atmosphere, friendly service. We were told the cook was away and the bartender was cooking, thought this was worth a try, so we ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't good fish and chips and shepherd's pie. However, it's a lively place. Tonight, there was a dance club with couples having a fun time on the floor, lovely to watch. Did I mention the Guinness? It's good. Come for a drink, and hopefully, the cook will return!

Fish and chips are the best I've had. Beer from the tap is always fresh and delicious. My price range includes 2x500ml beers from tap and the fantastic fish and chips. Atmosphere is between 4 and 5, really depending on what you're looking for, so I opted to give the higher rating) The clientele is very dynamic and young, the staff are fantastic in their job. The staff in fact have some of the best mood I've seen in Istanbul

Best Irish Pub experience in Istanbul! With my friends, we gather a lot here to play darts, hang around, or eat food. No place tops the atmosphere of this place, cosy, comfortable and a very joyful place. Tap beers are also of decent quality!

A great lively Irish bar. They have a great pint of Guinness compared to other places that I've drank Guinness including UK. Has a good studenty laid back atmosphere. Has live music regularly. The only problem can be finding a table as it is popular.

Great Irish pub in the heart of Istanbul. Multiple levels with a great rooftop. Also shows sport regularly. There is live Irish music one night a week and feels like an Irish bar rather than just masquerading as one. They also have a stage for bands and a standing area. Prices are relatively good and you can even play darts. All in all, a great bar for a night out.

Great multistory pub with all the amenities that you’d expect from an Irish pub and then some. Never had the food here but the beer menu is very extensive. Would recommend checking out all the floors since they all have their own vibes.
