Reviews
My favorite Decatur pub
The food and drinks here are great, and the staff is not just attentive, but genuinely friendly. They'll tell you honestly what's good, from the kitchen and the bar. In terms of ambiance, this isn't an "Irish themed restaurant and bar", it's a proper "local": they get a... lot of regulars (with good reason), and the servers want to get to know you. It really is where you want to go where everybody knows your name. And it really is Irish: just talk to Alan, the manager, for five minutes.
One of the best Pubs to hang out at.
I like the vibes of this place, there was a time that my friend and I went to this place maybe 4 times in one week, we love it. The servers are the best, they remember your face/names, you are not rushed to leave.
Best pub ever!
This is the best pub ever! The servers are awesome. Especially Lauren. One time I stayed there until 1 o'clock in the morning.
Its not as authentic as I had hoped
I first came to this pub about 2 years ago... I enjoyed the fact that they had a great ambience... a fireplace, and a dark wood dining room/bar... the atmosphere is cozy but the food, I believe could be a bit more authentic for the cost of the meals. You can't leave wit...hout spending at least 30-$40 and sometimes you feel like you're being ignored. \t\n\t\nIf you go and want a hearty meal, try the bangers and mash... or the shepards pie.
Bad tipping policy
My family has five members and we have enjoyed going to James Joyce Pub since it opened years ago. We typically go 1-2 times a month. Tonight we had a bad experience. The meal was good but when I got the bill I thought it was high. I noticed that the waitress added ...an 18% tip to the bill. Since our family has five people, she told me the gratuity was added automatically and it is listed on the menu (but never invoked previously). I was mad because I have never had this automatic surcharge added to my bill, even when I have dined with extra people. I will not be going back to James Joyce until this policy is rescinded.
Bad bad and bad!
This place is horrible... it's a waste of time! Don't bother. There's nothing Irish about this stupid place. Waitstaff is slow and extremely unprofessional. The bartender was more concerned about personal conversations. I had been there before and got their daily s...pecial and it was good. They must have new management or something because it is very unorganized, they don't care about the way they treat customers and the food was awful. Seriously, awful. And beer is expensive.... there's no reason to go here... there's plenty of other restaurants in the area - try Wahoo or something.
