What Troy Reppas likes about 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. View all feedback. What Alec O doesn't like about The James Joyce:
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. View all feedback.

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
