    Inspiration in decor, ambience, and libations.

    Dropped in for a pint and a whiskey on a hot summer afternoon. Fabulous. The Guinness pour was perfect and the shot of Irish whiskey a lovely compliment. Friendly service, cool on a hot day, and lovely finishings. I could write a novel here!

    Great pub and ambiance

    Just FYI: I am trying to understand why this establishment is listed as a tourist attraction instead of a food & drink joint. I've been to the Joyce a few times while living in Zurich, and it is a really nice pub with a pretty...More

    Great example of an Irish Edwardian pub

    I have a rule which I don't always keep, not to visit Irish pubs when abroad. However I was tempted into the James Joyce when passing by and noticing the wood panelled interior. This is a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and a wonderful...More

    Great beer and food

    Not a pub, not a restaurant but a bar that serves a great burger (and other food). Close to Rennweg tram stop this friendly bar boasts the best burgers in Zurich. Good range of ubiquitous beers from Boddingtons and Guiness to Schneider Weiss and Hurlimans.

    Good Irish bar, with excellent food and decor

    Always a good place to meet some friends, for a bite of great food and a few drinks. Lovely location not far from Bahnhoffstrasse, and excellent service.

    Lovely upmarket pub

    We met for drinks at the James Joyce and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, and good food, in a calm and relaxed environment. It's more towards a restaurant than a pub though, with table service and less standing room. Burger was decent, as...More
