Bar Pub Irish pub

😐 We were there during the Easter holiday. The staff is very friendly, but when we ask for some snacks, they bring them in bags, not in dish, like in most of the places. Maybe this is the German thing, or maybe it is the policy of the Pub. What i notice is that a lot's of students are coming to this p... People often mention staff, nice, great, atmosphere, beer, service, nicht, Great, good, evening,

    No food (bartender said they don't serve food), no coffee (they run out, they said?). Sparkling water with scotch was served in the bottle, no glass. The snacks (crisps and peanuts) are brought to the table in supermarket bags, no serving bowls. When the next round was ordered, they didn't bother to take away empty bags from the table. The place is very relaxed but the service is below any expectations. Would I recommend it to anyone? Never.

    The beer and cocktail selection is outstanding. The food is great and reasonably priced. Atmosphere was great although I would like them to okay more traditional Irish music. Did remind me of a pub in Ireland recommended.

    Such a great bar! I've been there several times now with my friends and colleagues. The atmosphere is always something I enjoy the most. Joyce is a very nice person, but all staff members are friendly. The drinks are available in many tastes and sizes, and the bar has special days for Pub Bingo or Pub Quizzes. The only thing I recommend for improvement is to keep people more updated. We're all human, but it has happened to me 3 out of 5 times that the special evenings were canceled at the last minute. While I understand if it's due to sickness, it should not happen last minute. Besides that, highly recommended!

    Great service, excellent variation of beverages, including an awesome range of whiskeys. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thanks!

  • 3/5 Janina 7 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    The atmosphere was nice. We went to the stand up comedy night and it was extremely lively even on a Sunday. No comment on the food as there was none. Even a little snack like chips or nachos could have been a nice plus.

  • 5/5 Gabriel V. 1 year ago on Google • 21 reviews
    I've been a couple of times in this pub, great atmosphere, music and of course, great beers!

  • 5/5 Randin D. 10 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    The best (maybe the only?) local spot to get Guinness & Irish beers. They host events like trivia or bingo in English and also have live music on occasion. Staff is always friendly and helpful, even when they're super packed, like during SudFest I think the other reviews have pointed out, don't go there if you're hungry. Go there to drink :)

    (Translated by Google) Great atmosphere, great selection of drinks. You can ask for playing cards. The only thing that can not do half half beer. It should not be homogeneous. (Original) Отличная атмосфера, большой выбор напитков. Можно попросить игральные карты. Единственное что не умеют делать half half beer. Оно не должно быть однородным.

  • 3/5 Hulkmaster 4 years ago on Google
    Good beer But they think "half half" is just mixing two beers together //_-

  • 4/5 T. K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A good place for drinks! For the delicious, malty Guiness beer there are special offers on some days, as well as for long drinks, etc. The slightly tougher music is not for all tastes, but gives the store a certain coolness. The service is attentive and gladly gives tips to the specials of the evening. You should not be very hungry, because there are only nachos and nuts in between. (Original) Ein guter Ort für Drinks! Für das leckere, malzige Guiness-Bier gibt es an einigen Tagen spezielle Angebote, ebenso für Longdrinks etc. Die etwas härtere Musik ist nicht für jeden Geschmack, gibt aber dem Laden eine gewisse Coolness. Der Service ist aufmerksam und gibt gerne Tipps zu den Specials des Abends. Sehr hungrig sollte man nicht kommen, denn es gibt nur Nachos und Nüsse für zwischendurch.

    (Translated by Google) One of my favorite pubs, but the combination of Peters Kölsch and Guinness / Kilkenny is unbeatable ... (Original) Einer meiner Lieblings-Pubs, allein die Kombination aus Peters Kölsch und Guinness/Kilkenny ist unschlagbar...

    (Translated by Google) The James Joyce is a nice sports bar and now offers Guinness and Kilkenny as well as one of my favorite beers: Hop House 13. Unfortunately, there are no more burgers there, but Flammkuchen and baked nachos. For me are particularly the waiters to mention, among other things from England, Ireland and Scotland and are very friendly. (Original) Das James Joyce ist eine nette Sportkneipe und bietet mittlerweile neben Guiness und Kilkenny auch eines meiner Lieblingsbiere an: Hop House 13. Leider gibt es dort keine Burger mehr, aber dafür Flammkuchen und überbackene Nachos. Für mich sind noch besonders die Bedienungen zu erwähnen, die unter anderem aus England, Irland und Schottland kommen und sehr freundlich sind.

    I think very good. There is an event price for each day of the week. There is also an outdoor table. It is a good pub to go to in the evening.

  • 5/5 Rosie H. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is such a great time! The staff is hilarious and friendly, the beer is cold, varietal and plentiful, and their trivia night is outstanding! They have an excellent beer selection too. Would definitely recommend!

    Very cozy and awesome bar with live music and tasty Irish beer and a nice selection of whisky. Making a visit a regular thing from now on. Saw Hugh O'Reilly here who was awesome.

  • 1/5 Corey D. 6 years ago on Google
    Where is the service? The waitress came late to take our order and then disappeared, we did not see her again after our first round of drinks until we went up to pay. Our visit was over an hour, we were the only guests in the bar.

  • 5/5 Eric L. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything you expect from an English Pub in mainland Europe. Plus staff is amazing. After couple times I never had to order again to get serve what I wanted.

  • 5/5 Florian 1 year ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Great selection of several beers on tap. Good Pubquiz every second Monday. It seems they don't serve food, but it looks like you can bring your own. Might want to ask that beforehand though.

  • 5/5 David M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very pleasant shop even at carnival. Classical music, beer at fair prices, and the admission control made sure that it didn't get too crowded, so that you could always get to the counter or the toilet with some comfort. (Original) Auch an Karneval sehr angenehmer Laden. Klassische Musik, Bier zu fairen Preisen, und die Einlasskontrolle sorgte dafür, dass es nicht zu voll wurde, so dass man stets einigermaßen bequem zur Theke oder zur Toilette kommen konnte.

    (Translated by Google) does not stick to curfew hours for outdoor catering and makes the neighbors sleep until at least 2 a.m. with noise every evening. Magnet for drinking tourists (Original) hält sich nicht an Sperrstunden für Aussengastronomie und bringt jeden Abend die Nachbarn bis mindestens 2 Uhr mit Lärm um den Schlaf. Magnet für Sauftouristen

  • 4/5 Andreas W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) See nice ambience. Groomed. Unfortunately no kitchen on Saturday evening. Nothing at all, not even the tarte flambee from the menu ... Only peanuts and only one variety. Too bad. Otherwise a good recommendation for the Südstadt (Original) Sehe schönes Ambiente. Gepflegt. Leider Samstag Abend keine Küche. Rein gar nichts, nicht einmal die Flammkuchen aus der Karte... Nur Erdnüsse und auch nur eine Sorte. Schade. Ansonsten eine gute Empfehlung für die Südstadt

    (Translated by Google) We were fortunate to get this pub for a closed society. The boss Thorsten and the staff made the evening an unforgettable experience for us. The service during the evening of Tamara, Larissa, Heather and Ila was always professional, friendly and welcoming. Our guests also confirmed what a great Locaion and team we had. We can 100% recommend the James Joyes. Even if it is "only" on a few drinks. Thanks to Thorsten and his team. (Original) Wir hatten das Glück diesen Pub für eine geschlossene Gesellschaft zu bekommen. Der Chef Thorsten und das Personal hat den Abend für uns zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Der Service während des Abends von Tamara, Larissa, Heather und Ila war zu jedem Zeitpunkt professionell, freundlich und herzlich. Unsere Gäste haben uns ebenfalls bestätigt, was für eine tolle Locaion und Team wir hatten. Wir können das James Joyes zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Auch wenn es "nur" auf ein paar Drinks ist. Danke an Thorsten und sein Team.

    (Translated by Google) We have been walking here irregularly for a few years now. The pub has a nice ambience with a friendly crowd. The young service is attentive and open-minded. There is no longer a kitchen, so it is best to eat something "in the hand" in the area. The only downside for non-football fans is that the games are also broadcast with sound. (Original) Wir gehen schon seit ein paar Jahren unregelmäßig hierhin. Der Pub hat ein nettes Ambiente mit freundlichen Publikum. Der junge Service ist aufmerksam und aufgeschlossen. Eine Küche gibt es inzwischen nicht mehr, also am besten vorher in der Gegend etwas "auf die Hand" essen. Einziger Nachteil für nicht Fußballfans ist, dass die Spiele übertragen werden auch mit Ton.
