The James Joyce - Santa Barbara

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.

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.

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

Very hostile place to POC. Patrons and bartenders alike
