Dirty run down establishment serving up mediocre food with a giant dose of nasty service. along that, you can have cigarette smoke blown in your face by patrons standing at the entrance smoking up a storm. Oh...and for bonus, if you're lucky like me, you get to hear the same smoking patrons loudly share their thoughts using every foul word in the english language. Looking to spend your hard earned money and enjoy a pleasant outing?....stay far away from this place. read more

Their mozzarella sticks and their wings are some of the most amazing wings and mozzarella sticks that I've ever had. The service was quick and the ambience was phenomenal. read more

Walked into this place just to grab a quick drink and found ourselves having dinner. Monday night they have $10 burger and fries. The burger was the best I've had in a while. We also ordered the wings which were cooked and tossed in sauce to perfection. The owner Jack, came by to check on us. He was informative, warm, and accommodating of my diet restrictions which you hardly see. Def run to this place if you're on Bell Blvd! read more

Although the food is good and service is professional, this place has become a hangout for high schoolers with fake IDs. If you want to eat or drink at a teen hangout, this is your place. If you want a real bar and grill, choose someplace else. read more

Before I visited today on 9/13/23, Wednesday at 6:30pm, I gave them a call about their happy hour. They said it's 1/2 off ALL APPS from 4-8pm, so I decided to try the deal. We ordered the wings and nachos on the starter section of the menu. When we got the check they server said the deal isn't for "ALL" the apps. I was like are you kidding it literally says it on the board. He apologized and I don't blame him, I blame the management! I paid the bill and tipped but left feeling ripped off. It's just bad business especially when there is so much competition on Bell Blvd. I will not be returning or recommending this place if you're looking for happy hour apps. read more

The customer service was amazing. The hostess was friendly, continued to check up on us to make sure our drinks were filled and that we didn't need for anything. Even when the food order was wrong, she took the meal back and brought the correct meal without any complaints and still with a smile on her face. read more

Brian Dempsey's - a glass of alcohol and a napkin on a table - Sports Bars Near Me - Bayside, New York

Workingman's brunch! We spied the 25c wings listed on the sidewalk sandwich board so we wandered in here, hungry on a hot afternoon. Nice big bar, chairs with backs, plus tables on one side with quite a bit of space between the two zones. The traditional Irish-American decor. Dark and cool. Plenty of screens - not giant but big enough to watch the game. Once a couple of ice cold Blue Moons arrived we perused the menu, realizing we weren't in the mood for wings anyway. Typical pub offerings: Shepherds Pie, fish & chips, burgers, steak (does anyone actually order a steak in a bar) but then we moved on to the brunch menu. Everything sounded really good and available till 4 PM, so Richard chose the brunch burger and I went for the BLT, both with home fries. Both meals were excellent and really hit the spot. Simple, solid, tasty and satisfying. Loved the fried egg on top. Potatoes had rosemary seasoning. Prices were very easy on the wallet. Check out the photo of our tab. I'm sure they can make a fine Bloody here too, so if you're in need of brunch and do not want to spend $85, I recommend you head on over to Brian's. read more

Rip off. Saint Patrick's Day. $11 pints for Guinness. All other bars max $8. No wonder the place is empty.

Worst chicken wings I've ever had!!!!! Skin fatty and impossible to chew don't know if the meat was undercooked or over cooked to make the overall wing slimy had to peel off the skin to get to the chicken and then it got even worse . Reluctantly gave 2 to my dog the rest I threw away -- simply awful !!! What a waste !!! They deserve no stars this was truly awful stuff -- yulk!! read more

I want to say the weekend I went to Dempsey's the Crowd has change and the DJ, wasn't mixing (Cross Fading Tracks) he just went from one genre to another; but I give him credit for trying, With that said if he had played 80's & 90's New Wave, Ska, Synth-Pop, Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Industrial, Freestyle. House,...Hip-House. New Jack Wing, Grunge Rock. Alternative Rock. Progressive Trance, 90's & 2000's Dancehall. 2000's Hard-Bass, Hard-Style, EDM, Electro: Rock, Dance, & Rap, Progress House, Epic Rock, Epic Rap, Downtempo, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Drill, UK Grim, and more he would had the pace rocking within 10 minutes, or at least ask what type of Genre they dance to. I have all of these Genres, hell I can put all of them on a flash drive and give to the DJ to use every weekend. Hell I can be a Laptop DJ at Dempsey's on the Saturday Night weekend with a six pack of Colt 45 to drink & get the crowd moving. read more

Recently I stopped for lunch.The place has a lot of room and there is have many TV,s..We both had burgers, they were so/so.The server/ bar tender was nice enough but we had to ask for forks and napkins.The bar was empty in this afternoon and this place looks like a nite time with music operation. The Bell Blvd section of Bayside has many places that serve lunch, I may come back to Dempsey ,but at night. G read more

This place sucks. The prices for drinks are ridiculous. There are so many other places in the area that have better drinks/food. Their happy hour is horrible and the choices are limited. The girl bartender, (long hair and full of tattoo's) is unfriendly and actually hates making drinks. Every time we asked for one, she said she either doesn't know how or had no time. Wings were ok. Definitely had better down the block. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

Neighborhood bar/restaurant. One of the oldest and largest on Bell Blvd to be honest. Check their website for their daily specials. You're ought to find something. I'm usually there for Wings nights (20 cents a wing), taco night (tuesday, $1 tacos) or 2 for 1 dinner . you'll be surprised of the portion and quality of their 2 for 1 dinner. My friend and i went to get the 2 for 1 dinner (i believe it was wednesday), we got the chicken francese and fish. We were pleasantly surprised that the quality and portion were both great! 1 star was taken away because their Karaoke nights are WAY TOO LOUD. Another star was taken away because they hire a bouncer that's an idiot. First of all, if you have two different entrances, why is the bouncer only waiting on one side? Second, why do you automatically assume out of state ID is a fake ID? HIRE SOMEONE THATS QUALIFIED! He almost not let one of my out of town friends in because he's from Alabama. For god's sake the whole group is in our mid 30's. USE SOME COMMON SENSE! read more

Brian Dempsey's has been my favorite spot on Bell for many years. I still go back for wings and drinks but unfortunately, it has lost its spark. The staff all seems new and I have seen a lot of faces come and go, but this current staff needs a lot of training and support. The bar always seems to be running with an understaffed team. This makes it annoying to order drinks and food since the servers are overwhelmed with all of the patrons. I understand this is not their fault which is why management needs to hire more experienced servers and bartenders and make sure they can handle all of the guests. Aside from being understaffed, the staff is never aware of specials. Dempsey's always posts specials on their IG and whenever I go in and order something advertised on IG or on their signs in the bar the staff is often confused or unaware there are specials. Most of the time they don't know the specials and never honor them. It is very annoying. All of the staff should be on the same page. And if they are posting specials on IG they should be honored at the bar. For Halloween for example, they advertised house shots and green tea shot specials on IG, and when I asked the server they were like "Ummm I am not sure let me double check." How embarrassing. Please address these small issues and the bar would be able to run more efficiently and patrons' experiences would be better. Other than this, they have great weekly specials and their food is delicious. The wings are my fav. I hope Dempsey's is able to turn things around for the better. read more

Officially done with this place. I've been coming for years but it's now a shell of what it once used to be and frankly not worth anyone's time. The ambiance is depressing without a DJ and the staff is a joke. We walked in last night for their 2-for-1 dinner specials and sat at a table since the bar was mostly full and the few open spots had dirty dishes with dirty napkins. You could tell the people who were seated at those spots were long gone but no one thought to clear the bar to allow new guests to sit. Upon arrival, no one greeted us as we walked in so we went straight to the tables. We picked the table closest to the bar so the bartender could see us and come over to give us menus. We waited about 10 minutes and no one ever came over to say hello, give menus, or offer water. Not even exaggerating when I say the curly blonde behind the bar saw us walk in and continued doing what she was doing. No smile no hello nothing... It was almost as if we were invincible! We got up and left since we felt so unwelcome. Terrible experience but honestly not surprised. Each time I come back the place is emptier and emptier and it's probably because the place has gone down the drain. read more

amazing service, would recommend as the best place on bell!! great bartenders! great service!! need I say more??

Went for a comedy show brunch and had a blast the food was great and the show was super fun..Can't wait to go back

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. read more

Great wings, and vibe from the staff. They are attentive and always keeping up with the costumers.

Ordered food from here a couple of times. Not disappointed. They only have take out...no deliveries. Their mushroom burgers are pretty dope. I also had their wings for the first time. They were pretty awesome. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. I do recommend this place for take out. Got to try the other stuff on the menu. read more

Worst foods and nasty service that I got today from this establishment makes me regret going here. I felt sorry for friends who went with me expecting a great night at a bar- instead, you guys have ruined our night and left a sour taste in our mouth. I will never visit this place ever again. Guys, if you want highschool cafeteria grade foods that takes forever to come out and some god aweful service, come here and spend your time here. Otherwise, look elsewhere. **And to one of the female bartender that gave my friend a nastiest look just because the your tip was light(which it wasn't), you can kindly go F yourself. read more

The service and the food was exceptional. Went there for 50 cent wings on Wednesday everyone was great. Kudos to our server Andrew very attentive and the manager for the complimentary shot will definitely be coming back read more

This place is quickly becoming the best on bell. The food is Amazing, makes you happy that you are spending your money here. Had the coconut shrimp, wings, and steak quesadilla and I will be back to try more. Great customer service! Matt is amazing on sundays and always worth the visit. Great music, great vibe and great food and drinks. You cannot want anything more. read more

Came here with a large party for a friend's birthday. We were seated right away without wait during a weekend evening. They have the $22.00 for two deal. My boyfriend and i ended up ordering penne a la vodka and steak with sides of mash potato and onion rings. The meal also comes with choice of house salad and caesar salad. The food was average. Not the best. The steak was so dry but what do you expect from steak that was under $12.00. There was nothing special with the pasta as well. The service was great but the whole ordering and waiting for our food just took too long. It may have been because of our large party but i felt like their system was too slow. I am not sure if i will return. Maybe for some drinks with friends but not for a meal. read more

I urge you to repeat this : quantity over quality. Make yourself believe this and you'll love this place ! Wednesday night -- WANG NIGHT. 20cent wings !!! That's pretty amazing if you ask me. The sign displayed in the front caught my attention immediately. However, with just a few bites-- I knew why they were 20 cents. (Also, 2 drink minimum with wangs). The wings were very hard and lacked flavor, the sweet potato fries were practically burnt. The service was great! They were very helpful and friendly. The food came out pretty fast and my waitresss was attentive. However, getting the check took forever. I think I waited longer for the check than the amount of time I spent here. Bottom line: go here, get drinks then eat the wings! (You'll enjoy the wings when a little buzzed). .can't go wrong with cheap bites and alcohol. read more

My boyfriend and I took a stroll down Bell Blvd on a Sunday afternoon looking for a place to eat. We saw 25 cent wings and headed right on in. We were greeted right away, chose our seats, and our server got to work. We needed a little more time to look at the menu but we were very happy with the promptness. Gabriella was our server; very sweet and accommodating from beginning to end. I started off with Pinot Grigio and then got the rules for the wings. It's a minimum of 5 wings per sauce, Blue cheeese comes with it, celery and carrots were $2 extra. It's also a minimum of 2 drinks with 25 cent wings. I ordered 5 Medium Buffalo wings, 5 Honey BBQ, and 5 Honey Garlic. The wings were a little crispier than I wanted them to be but they were still good; I really enjoyed the Honey Garlic flavor. The boyfriend ordered Mac & Chz with Chicken. I don't know if the chicken was grilled or blackened but it was delicious. So delicious that I was threatened if my fork went on his side of the table once more lol. Overall the service was excellent, the food was good and I enjoyed the vibe. I would definitely return. read more

Best Wings I've ever had! I usually come to Brian Dempsey's on Wednesdays when wings are only 20 cents each. They only have this offer on Wednesdays starting at 8pm until 12pm, so it's not all all-day thing. It is usually packed when I go due to the deal but the waiting is worth it. The waitresses and Manager always check up on what you need and how things are going, very friendly staff. They have great special throughout the week for different meals and beers. I'll recommended them to anyone looking for a great bar. Mondays:All day and night $4 burgers w/ fries and $3.50 Miller light Bottles Tuesdays: 5pm-11pm 2 for 1 Dinners, $1 tacos, and $3.50 Miller Light Bottles Wednesday: 8pm-Midnight 20 cent wings and $3.50 beer pints Thursday: All day and Night $13.95 Steak and Ale, $1 tacos, and $3.50 Beer pints Sunday:All day and Night 25 cent wings, $12 pitchers and $3.50 beer pints and 5pm-11pm 2 for 1 Dinners and 12pm-4pm brunch specials. read more

I came here on a sunday night with my bf. We were just wandering around bell blvd trying to find someplace new to eat and we spot that Brian Dempsey had .25 cent wings on sunday (apparenlty .20 cent on wednesdays). They also had a 2 for 1 dinner special where each person can order a soup or salad, an entree, and a side dish for $20.95. An amazing deal for that amount of food. +Clam chowder: this is on the creamier thicker side which I love but for those who prefer waterier or less creamy chowders might want to stay away. I thought it was delicious. +Seafood bisque: The amount of seafood present in my bowl surprised me and the taste was wonderful. Not creamy at all, which is surprising considering bisques I've had in the past at other places. +10oz shell steak: We both ordered this. I really feel like each person got more than 10oz. Avoiding the chance it might get overcooked, I requested mine medium rare and my boyfriend requested medium. My instincts were correct. My steak came crossing the line between medium and medium well. Juicy and wonderful char flavor I loved it. My boyfriend wasn't as lucky, his medium came as a drier well done lol. The entree came with veggies which were a welcome addition. +Mashed potatoes and onion rings: yummy and fresh. I was pleasantly surprised that all the food was very "cooked from scratch" tasting. I didn't detect anything canned or any lazy shortcuts. Simple filling portions at a good price. While it wasn't a 5 star restaurant, it tasted like something that will come out of a home kitchen, which I liked for a slow sunday night while watching the football game on one of their many tvs. The wings were good but the star of the show was the blue cheese sauce. It had actual chunks of blue cheese in it- heaven on wings. read more

Stopped in here because of the "25 cent wing Wednesday" sign. We thought this was just what we were looking for! ***thought**** We got in, got seated and we're greeted nicely. Got menus and started ordering: hot wings and BBQ as well as sweet potato fries. For one, the fries tasted a little over well done (burnt) and the wings were just OKAY. There was no extreme flavor, no mouth watering taste. These were just your average wings. I guess you get what you pay for? The catch: There is a two drink minimum when you order this deal. Two drinks PER person in your order. Anyway, the vibe in here was cool, its spacious down to the back. The bar is also a nice size. I left my credit card here and they were very helpful in getting it back to me. read more

First time visiting this place. I liked it a lot! We went on a weeknight so it was dead but I could totally see this place getting packed out on the weekends, especially being that it's on Bell Blvd. The food was delicious.

They don't seem to understand pandemic rules. The bartender tells me that the CDC guidelines won't allow me to view the menu without proof of vaccination. Of course that's nonsense. The state won't allow me to eat indoors without proof of vaccination which I have. But I should be able to view the menu before I decide to eat indoors. Rules are not a substitute for thought and common sense. read more

We live in tough times but we should still strive for the best. I am sad to say this old stalwart has seen better days.
