Oltrarno, Florence –
Situated just outside Piazza Francesco Ferrucci, James Joyce may require a bit of a hike to reach, but this cool pub and café is well worth the trip.
While the low yellow lighting and vibrant crowd turn the patio into the place to be, the well-designed interior also sports an inviting décor reminiscent of an old English pub.
A library room in the back and comfortable booths and tables on multiple tiers are as cool to look at as they are cozy, while a sign above the door reads “God Bless the Drinkers.”
Also the bar’s entertainment center, the patio features a variety of classic pub pastimes, from the electronic dart boards interspersed among the marble statues to foosball and other pub games, and most of the crowd makes its way there on summer evenings to gather with friends around one of the many tables.
The steady mixed crowd of young locals and English speakers makes James Joyce one of the best spots in Florence to meet new people and chat the night away.
Locals and some English speakers, all ages.
A wide range of genres including funk, rock, 70s and 80s tunes, and Italian music.
Complimentary aperitivo buffet 6–9:30pm.
