The James Joyce Irish Pub

How did I just find out about this place? It's so cute! You could easily drive right by it if you don't know it's there. The service was really friendly. Which is saying something because usually these neighborhood places aren't friendly to unfamiliar faces.

The beer list is decent with good prices and the bloody mary is to die for! If you like spice order the spicy bloody mary. Trust me. It's a very small place, but we grabbed seats with no problems. The regulars seemed like a friendly bunch as well.

They also do all kinds of events (check the website). Everything from beer tastings to dinners and trivia nights. They had lots of things that sounded really fun. I may become a regular here myself.

A genuine Irish pub with wonderful hosts. We went on a Tuesday night and there was a fun crowd playing trivia during the Blackhawks game.  The owner came over to greet us and introduce himself too!  You don't get neighborhood bars like this anymore.

This is my Sunday Sanctuary - I come here for Bloody Sundays!
If you are a fan of Bloody Marys then you must come here and make sure to have  The Best Bloody Mary (atleast the best Ive ever had)!

The place is a decent size and the people (from workers/patrons) are all friendly.
