James Joyce Irish Pub Ybor City

Went with two friends last nite to LOBSTA MONDAYS at the James Joyce Irish Pub Ybor City. www.jamesjoyceybor.com 1724 E. 8th Avenue Ybor City, Fl. 33605
813-247-1896. This is a fun and cool Irish Pub and the DEAL on MONDAYS is a 2lb. Maine Lobster for 9.95 plus purchase of a beverage...wow. We where welcomed with a smile and we were sat at a nice hightop in the middle of the room. The restaurant was busy but the staff handled it well. The house choice of music was a blend of irish rock and alt rock which added to the unique vibe. After picking our drinks from over 50 beers on tap i said to our server "No need for a menu we'll have LOBSTA for three." (Please note they have a nice menu with Irish Food, Burgers and Salads) Within a few minutes three beautiful lobsters arrived w/ warm butter ready to be enjoyed. We laughed got messy drank our beers and talked about coming back on Prime Rib Night. Please take a moment and check out their website and when you go to visit dont forget to tell them:
MR.TAMPA BAY sent you... Have a great TAMPA BAY DAY!
