Tim BushnellMay 11, 2017Wonderful Irish pub in midtown, classic looking with lots of Irish and boxing flare, upstairs seating and great tasting food. A wonderful spot to stop
Jason ShellhammerDecember 1, 2018I almost always plan my trips, but because the place I wanted to go to was closed, this was the revised choice. Only because of near location. Beer offerings are minimal, Chicken Curry was awesome.
Some of the best wings in the entire city!! Also, amazing appetizer sampler! Also, ALL THINGS KENTUCKY WILDCATS! :)
Upvoted 1 week ago- James KiernanOctober 27, 2016Any establishment that has power strips under the bar is good in my book!
Guadalupe ChavezOctober 4, 2016Came here to hang out with a group of friends, watch some football, & have a good time; everyone, including the staff, raised their eyebrows and rolled their eyes at us for disturbing the silence.
AnnaFebruary 26, 2016Drinks. Hummus. Turkey burger. Manager(forgot her name) was friendly and gracious. Wait staff was quick and attentive. & to the manager -thank you for your hospitality.
Cameron HoganApril 6, 2016Great service all around. Also a solid alternative if you're trying to catch a football (⚽️) match and Legends is packed.- Andrew LoweSeptember 10, 2011They play chill music, huge bar where u can always find a seat and friendly staff. Great way to enjoy a nightcap before u head home at the 33rd st. path right around the corner

My favorite place in New York to connect with #BBN and my Kentucky family! Go cats. (Great chicken tenders, too)
Get the chicken pot pie. I usually hate chicken pot pie but I love it here
- Monica CullenMarch 11, 2016Surprising fun for something so close to Penn Station! Also a designated Kentucky bar
MaryJanuary 26, 2014It's so weird to rave about salad, but the chicken cesear is amazing. Softest, most delicious chicken ever.
NearSay NYCJanuary 18, 2012Soccer fans, Jack Demsey's is the right place for you. Not a soccer fan? The food is also great, we recommend the turkey burger.
Sir-Franchise DrakeMarch 30, 2011When i used to drink this place was the bomb. Now i dont drink this place is still the bomb =) my best place in the world to watch live UFC fights
Levi WNovember 28, 2013Whatcha out for Shari (sp?). She complains loudy about anything and everything. It's distracting.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013$3 beers in the afternoon. It's only Budweiser, but great if you're on a budget.
Tim BainesApril 2, 2012Shepherds pie is just the right amount. Great bartenders. Enjoy the O' Hara's on tap.
Paul MiddlekauffJuly 17, 2013Cool atmosphere... Bartender is a Bengals fan! I didn't like the scotch egg or the smithwicks.
Erica TorresDecember 30, 2011Best bartenders!! They make you feel like family! And their food is awesome!!
Tip Bobby and Allen well. They're great bartenders.
Julia RoyDecember 18, 2010Tuna carpaccio is delicious. Really fresh tuna and ginger. Nice pepper kick at the end.
rich masioDecember 14, 2014Santacon venue. Support bars that respect our neighborhood, not this place.
Steve HaleJanuary 8, 2012Its "Dempsey's" and its one of the chillest little hole-in-the-walls in Midtown
Ben GaspariniSeptember 29, 2016This bar get slammed for soccer games. Otherwise not all that interesting.
- DoubleDeuceJune 13, 2015Home of the American Outlaws. Also smells like they kill 100 New York City rats a day in the basement. It's awful.
Maribeth PetersSeptember 18, 2011Best place to watch Celtic play! Home of Manhattan's #1 Celtic Supporters Club!!
The NYC spot to watch Kentucky basketball & football...GO CATS!
