The James Joyce

We desperately needed an Irish Coffee, and not only did James Joyce deliver, we've already gone back for seconds and plan to make this a frequent stop! Would highly recommend! Friendly bartender, security, and easily one of the best Irish Coffees in Santa Barbara.

Wanna go Irish ? Go James Joyce ! A real Irish pub, especialy those nights with a live band are memorable. And an excellent Guinness ofcourse ! There are plenty of bars along State Street but for n endless night with music and great atmoshere: this is the place to be.

Was playing darts and left my beer on the bar. Most of the beer remained but the bartender took it.

The bouncer (bald, bearded) would not let me into the establishment even though he admitted my ID was valid, because he didn’t recognize my friends state Id. Clearly he was on a power trip and didn’t even let me in alone.

Fun but a lot of bad karaoke

Very hostile place to POC. Patrons and bartenders alike

This place doesn't have food but it has great karaoke! Awesome place to come to if you're looking for a nice vibe and kind people. The bartenders are excellent and the drinks are excellent as well. Parking: It's state st, so park on one of many side streets
