When I was staying in Marshall for those two months on the task force team for that well-known…read morehospitality company, Bray Brothers became one of my go-to spots. It wasn't just somewhere to eat -- it was somewhere to decompress, reset, and enjoy the moment. The craft beer selection was always on point, the food never missed, and the service was consistently impeccable -- attentive without being overbearing, professional without being stiff. And the ambience? That mattered. It was warm, inviting, and easy to sit in -- the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe, and actually enjoy where you are. It had soul, not just style. It became part of the routine, part of the experience of that chapter -- good people, good food, good energy, and a space that felt intentional. That's the kind of place that leaves an impression, not just a receipt.

The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

Dempsey's is a Watertown stalwart for places to go eat and catch up with people. This place has…read morebeen around for a bit and everyone is familiar with the quality of the food and specifically their pies. During the stint back in Watertown I didn't make as many trips to Dempsey's as I normally would but the quality of the food hasn't dropped. It's always nice when you walk in you can smell pizza being baked in their oven (s). I usually land on their Dempsey's Classic that has Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Green peppers, Black Olives, Baby Bella Mushrooms. I usually ask for them to add another 3 mins of cook time for the extra crispy and ensure the middle of the pizza is fully cooked. They have a variety of other unique pizza's to taste but I usually go with their Classic. They also have a variety of their own in-house brews that's always changing along with their standard taps. If anyone is ever visiting Watertown definitely add Dempsey's as a go to place to try out.

Talking Waters is putting out some bangers!…read more Sometimes your expectations can be too high visiting a brewery you've had good beers from in the past. This was not the case at Talking Waters. I have not had a bad beer from here and the trip to the taproom did not disappoint. They knock it out of the park with their sours, IPA's arnt bad either. Had two beers there and bought a bunch of crowlers to take with us. One of the crowlers was their peanut butter porter and I will say it was better than Dangerous Mans?! They have a nice taproom with a huge mural on the wall as you walk in. They have a few outdoor tables and street parking right in front of the brewery. The drive from the metro is about and two and a half hours west through farm country. Not very picturesque, but worth it to get some great beers. Even a little car trouble in Montevideo couldnt ruin the trip!

Will be adding this to my regular rotation. Paired with a pint of Banshee made this meal complete.

This is not the Watertown version of Dempsey's, which is utterly amazing. This is the college town pizza-only version where they make pretty good pizza at higher prices then their competition, and there is a lot of competition in Brookings. We placed our one order and were overall satisfied but not enough to give up our regular pizza place (George's). Maybe someday they will expand the menu and we will give it another chance, or we'll just drive to Watertown.

That turned into cheese bread as well. Got talking with one of the brewers who had just gotten off his shift and was really impressed with how quickly the whole scene welcomed me into the conversation. This place does energy right. Whatever they're doing, keep it up! The cheese bread was awesome. The Pils I had totally hit the spot on a super hot day. And if there was any reason extra needed, the staff are all incredibly bright and personable. They seem to get along really well and communicate about how to keep everything moving. And it needs to be said, everyone that works behind the counter is gorgeous so look forward to that too! Good hiring, good training, good product, good management, great operation overall. Looking forward to seeing your brand go international. Go Kirk go!
