A great Irish favourite. This homemade sticky toffee pudding gets real depth of flavour from the combination of the dates and the hot caramel toffee sauce. The perfect sweet treat!

The waitress was excellent! The food was delicious, will return :)

The atmosphere is really nice and the patio is a good size. The service is spot on and very timely however it wasn't during peak times.



The selection of crab cakes and curry chicken boxtie was spot on.



This is now my new favourite place.

User

Service was friendly, fast and perfectly timed. The food was well portioned, very tasty and lovely to look at as well. Decor is warm and comfy. By far one of our favourite spots in the city.

User

Service great. Food great. Guinness exceptional!

User

Not often that I write reviews but this pub is worth the review! Not a thing I can complain about. The staff is great, the beer selection is awesome, and the food is fantastic everytime! And a bonus that minors are allowed, because my teenage son loves it just as much as we do. It was his choice for his birthday dinner yesterday! �

User

My Fiancé & I are both from Ireland & have been living in Calgary for 3 years now! We recently had family come in from town to visit us for Stampede etc & they just loved this place! The owner Ann Curran welcomed us in like most owners do back home, hooked us up with a fantastic breakfast & dinner as well as giving us chairs to use to watch the parade! Highly recommended!

User

I've always loved the James Joyce. It's the best Irish Pub in Calgary. It feels truly authentic and has great atmosphere, good food, the staff are amazing an the bar tenders oh so patient.... Thanks Gerrard. Another fun time at the Joyce

User

I really loved the environment and am glad someone told me to try it. The service was awesome and Thomas the bartender was great and super helpful in choosing drinks. Would recommend it to anyone who goes to Calgary.

User

I rarely write reviews or rate venues but this place is simply superb! First time here and this place is amazing! Everything is great from the ambiance, service, and drinks. The food selection stands out as the menu is quite unique and simply delicious! Would definitely recommend this place to people.

User

Fantastic pub, lovely food, good location & brilliant service! Kiera was our host and she helped us loads. Very friendly and approachable and advised us on food, drinks and where to go, she also told us a little history of the area which was nice. As we are from the UK this is what we needed. I'd definitely say worth a visit for anyone visiting Calgary

User

Enjoyed a beautiful Sunday breakfast on their outdoor patio. Bella was awesome as she was very attentive and personalble. She made me feel at home. I ordered their half breakfast and a Guiness. Especially loved the breakfast sausage! I especially love that they hire Irish workers, just like the owners. I will definitely be back.

User

Authentic irish pub! A must visit in Calgary! Staff was super friendly

User

As a southerner, we pride ourselves on hospitality. I must say the James Joyce Irish Pub is a welcoming place for his traveler. We visited on Sunday for lunch and our server allowed us to order from the full menu despite it being breakfast hours. We returned several days later and had the same server. She remembered our entire order from the first visit and was just as friendly this time. The food was great, and they have a fantastic beer selection. This will definitely be a spot I visit on any and all future visits!

User

Always a great time at the James Joyce. Food was fantastic as usual and the service from Jordan was exceptional, she was friendly and always there making our night fun. Thanks.

User

A party of twelve of us walked in during a recent family vacation. The staff was courteous and friendly. The choice of beers was very nice. All of the food was delicious! From the beef and Guinness pie to the chicken curry to the burgers, everything was wonderful. The bacon bites appetizer is amazing. Can't wait for our next trip to Calgary.

User

Great choice of food, great service, beautiful ambience.

User

The patio was great but the service was so poor...it took so long for us just to get a drink...then a menu...then a straw for our drink...was not fun at all...my friend wasn't happy with the service and neither was a woman in front of us. The manager or owner was dealing with a woman in front of us and she just looked at me when I agreed with that other lady and said...I'll deal with u next....i was like no don't bother. We won't be back!
