5. James Joyce Irish Pub

If you don't like to smoke, or especially if you don't like to second hand smoke (I second hand smoked 2 packs) then don't bother climbing the stairs. This is one of the few indoor establishments in Ybor that doesn't serve food, and therefore allows smoking. Also, leave your NY Yankee stuff at home, as you will see by the big Fenway Park sign above the bar, it ain't Yankee country. So, sit by the windows with a pint and watch the foot traffic flow by on the street as the live music (usually of the solo acoustic guitar variety) flows or belly up to the bar and enjoy the lively chatter between the bartenders. Either way, if you have tipped enough back you might even get the courage to sing along with the friendly musician, so long as you know the words to your favorite song... The Unicorn song is preferred.
