The James Joyce – Huseyinaga, Balo Sk. No: 26, 34436 Beyoglu/Istanbul
The James Joyce was visited once in May 2022. The clean air inside was welcome after the dubious Beer Street (Corner) a few metres away. An Irish Bar, its sells Guinness, is this the defining parameter?
With a spacious interior, adorned with classic pub paraphernalia, potentially a great place to relax.
Had we not preferred Ziba Bar, which sold comparable Bier, there would have been more visits. The pub had few customers when we visited, however, they were – loud. As in annoyingly so.
This was the locus of my first ever Turkish Craft Beer. Other Craft Beer is available in bottles.
Mosaic IPA 6.0% 3 Kafadar, Türkiye
An amber ale, featuring Mosaic hops. Usually my favorite hop, it was unrecognizable at first, it took time for the palate to adjust to the higher IBU after an extended period of drinking mostly NEIPA.
