Most Disliked
Sometimes, the vibrant energy can lead to a crowded space, making it challenging to find a quiet corner during peak hours. On particularly busy nights, the service may experience slight delays, leading some to feel overlooked, especially when the bar gets packed. The batched drink orders can lead to a longer wait time at busy hours, which might dampen the experience for some. Additionally, while the ambiance is generally great, noise levels can spike during live events, making conversation difficult, especially for those looking to catch up with friends.
Though Brian Dempsey's offers a delightful range of dishes, some customers have mentioned wanting more variety on the menu. Those seeking unique or specialized dishes might find it lacking, but it certainly delivers when it comes to classic tavern fare.

This place has definitely went up in the last couple years, I would recommend if you’re into EDM or hip-hop music. The 2 bartenders were approaching me as soon as I sat down. Good service !! Didn’t try the food but it was an overall good time

Came here with a number of friends who come here often, was a cool place with nice laidback atmosphere with some sports bar elements but not overbearing like most sports bar joints, food was good people very friendly and drinks made well and not watered down or overpriced, even had a Karaoke for those willing to participate, overall it was a good night had by all would definitely recommend this place for a group of friends to a date night being the atmosphere isn't obnoxiously loud so you can carry on a conversation without yelling to hear each other!
