I held a party here & had a fantastic experience. Ray was the hostess & made sure to go above & beyond for myself & guests. He was attentive, pleasant, and very accommodating. The food was delicious & the drinks were well made. There was never a shortage of either. My guests had a great time & were well taken care of. I chose Dempsey’s because they had the best group rate for what I was looking for; an open bar, appetizers, & buffet dinner. The DJ made sure to play all the genres & songs I requested. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience, service, & staff. I highly recommend Brian Dempsey’s for any occasion!

Brian Dempsey’s went over and beyond for our School Fundraiser last night. Service was amazing, from Connor making sure everything was going smooth, to Alex making sure everyone’s drinks and plates stayed full, to Mamii(Linda) who mixed excellent drinks(and the rest of the staff who were there every step of the way last night). A big thank you to Jose and his staff! Highly recommend enjoying an evening out at Dempsey’s! Wether you bring the family for dinner or an evening out with just the adults, good time will be had!

Great Place fantastic Staff & fun music nights My band plays here regularly & our fans love this place Beyond words so come out it's teh perfect hangout spot on the biggest strip for entertainment in Queens NY Bayside Bell Blvd Brian Dempsey's The Place that is Home To The Reign!!!! Come see us there :)

Awesome burgers and even better staff. Great atmosphere. A great place to just kick back.

I love this place. Such a great vibe on the weekends and on the weekdays it’s a chill spot to go after work. The food is alright but the drinks are AMAZING and the staff is always on point with service. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a night out with friends.

Excellent place. I came for the Monday Night Comedy show and love the burger special. Honestly, this place really knows how to make a good cocktail. Excellent service, the bartender Luis is the best. I highly recommend this spot for music, DJ, food and drinks.

This place is terrific in the food department. The seating that's visible from the outside is either bar-stools or high stool/table seating. I'm happy to say that if you have the balls to bring a baby here for food, they do have normal height seating in the back _and_ a highchair! How's that for bar family convenience? Our waiter was a young guy. Supremely friendly, supremely competent. I've been to Michelin rated restaurants with entire staffs that weren't as good as him. Definitely personable and always smiling. Made us feel welcome. Food was mostly great. They need to invest in more flavorful cheeses. Bacon Cheese Burger: A The burger was perfect. We asked for medium rare and that's precisely what we got. Beautiful char-grill marks and wonderful grill flavoring. This is a better burger than Bareburger. The menu says 2 pieces of bacon, which sounds a bit stingy, but we were given more than two without asking. Maybe sharper cheddar (and more of it) and a better bun would propel this burger to an A+ rating. Wings: C We got "mild" for the baby but ended up not giving her any because they were too dry. Way overcooked. Potato Skins: B+ They were awfully good. Lots of bacon, which is great! Again, a sharper cheddar would been nice. But what prevents these from being an A is that the skins were not crispy. Potato skins should have a crispy bottom. Perhaps they should salt the bottoms and toast them? French Onion Soup: B A good soup, but not a good French Onion soup. The onions are caramelized. I could detect no sherry in the soup. The cheese is pure Swiss (a mixture of Swiss and Gruyere gives that classic burnt topping since Swiss doesn't char well). I don't blame them -- caramelizing onions takes up to an hour on a low flame and needs constant attention, but it IS possible to have a phenomenal French Onion soup at a restaurant (see Aperitif Bistro). Good. Just not a good French Onion soup. Shepherds Pie: A A bit off-putting because when you see it, it's not a typical shepherd's pie. It's in a shallow dish. The "topping" of mash potato is pretty thin. It really doesn't look like a shepherd's pie. But it is truly delicious, and that's what counts. I love the chef's use of rosemary in the stew part. Complicated flavors. Loved it! Battered Onion Rings: A These might even be better than Bareburger's onion rings, which are awfully good. They are restaurant-thick / extremely battered onion rings. Definitely a first class onion ring. Tacos: B- Slightly dry but still fun. I'm *shocked* that they don't come with sour cream and the cheese is a little flavorless. We asked for some sour cream which helped with the dryness. They are only a dollar on taco night, but still, if you're a foodie, you probably don't want to order these. There are better tacos to be had (although on Bell Avenue, the pickings are a little slim...) Steak Mac N Cheese: B (and A) The steak itself is brilliant. Char-grilled outside, grill flavor, and served medium rare. As a griller myself, I'm envious of how perfectly these pieces of steak were grilled. A solid, solid A. The mac n cheese, less so. As with pretty much everything on the menu, the cheese is substandard. It's a somewhat flavorless American cheese. My wife loved them, but the noodles were slightly too al dente for me. Lastly, anyone who cooks mac n cheese should strive for a burnt cheesy crust. The attempt wasn't even made for a cheese crust. Still, I enjoyed this dish, so it gets a B.
