I love going to James Joyce mostly for the amazing bartenders-Sara O'Neil is awesome! I was not sure how the food would be when they moved to the new location but I have really enjoyed everything I have tried. The blue cheese balsamic kettle chips are very addicting! The sandwiches are great too and everyone seems to get the muscles but I have yet to try them but they look great. Great bar and the owners are truly committed to seeing their customers happy.
Pros:
Beer, food, atmosphere, bartenders and owners
Cons:
If you get to Ybor late at night, parking can be an issue.

So many PROS to name! Midget Mondays are the best! Absinthe, legal ones, are served here. The Crowd is the best ever!
Cons:
Parking can be tough, so park in the garage on 15th... best bet on busy nights.

I like the Irish Car Bombs, they make them authentic. The new location is great and much bigger that the old location. They have an outdoor patio as well as use the parking lot on some nights for live entertainment. The inside definitely has an Irish Pub feel to it! The new location also offers food. Lots of board games so have a great time!
Pros:
This place has the Irish Pub feel that reminds you of Ireland. Good selection of beer, great entertainment, and great crowd.
Cons:
Kind of hard to find, it is upstairs and the stairs are very steep.
