This popular and authentic Irish pub in downtown Calgary is a go-to spot to grab a pint of Guinness, and its Irish food menu is similarly reliable, full of hearty and delicious selections. The steak-and-Guinness pie is loaded with beef sirloin tips, Guinness gravy and root vegetables. A classic shepherd’s pie is also offered, and features ground beef, carrots and gravy topped with a mound of garlic-mashed potatoes.
Looking for a different take on nachos? How about Irish nachos? The James Joyce takes waffle fries and loads them up with cheese, jalapenos, onions, bell peppers, sour cream and salsa. Yum!
The shamrock-green and very hospitable James Joyce Irish Pub on Stephen Avenue Walk presents a full day of Irish food and drink starting at 10 am on March 17. Party favours are free, but VIP tickets are $25. The day’s musical entertainment will be provided by Celtic rockers Fraid Knot.
