Irish Pub The James Joyce

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.

We came here because of the positive reviews, but we were disappointed. The staff was rude to us and I have never experienced anything like it. We came in, tried to sit down but the girl working there insisted that we sat somewhere else, far away from people. We instead went an sat nearer the other people in the pub and near the live music. Then, after sitting down and taking off our jackets we went to the bar to order beers, but then the girl ran to us and yelled at us(!) telling us we had no business ordering beers ourselves and that she would take the orders at the table. The guy serving beers seemed as surprised as us, but we did as we were instructed, super confused by the treatment. Underneath my Norwegian good manners I was fuming by the bad treatment. By the way, there are mostly just danish beers here and Guinness and Kilkenny is the only Irish beer they serve. I had to go to the toilet before we left (after the one overpriced(!) beer) and it had a heavy stench of urine. I am not a sensitive guy to this, but this was extreme. Pros: nice enough interior, ok beer, live music when we were there (though only practicing) Cons: Rude staff (just the girl though), overpriced beer, disguuuusting bathroom. We didn't eat there.

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!

Fantastic atmosphere, definitely unlike other so-called Irish pubs in town. Wasn't too crowded on a Saturday night. Tap beers are great, would even visit again just for full pint Kilkenny's- which I failed to find in most pubs around. Prices are decent and they serve Bavaria(1 Liter) fills too! Mind that the place is a non smoking area so you need to walk in and out in order to have a smoke

The vibe and the atmosphere in the pub was upbeat and fantastic. The serving staff was nice. The upstairs darts room was a great time to chill with friends and enjoy some time out.

İt's a very nice place! The atmosphere is really great! Bar tenders are wonderful, and very chatty. You can meet great people here! İf you want to have a good time with your friends then this is your spot

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

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.
