They handled our large group easily. Food was fast. It is hard to determine the atmosphere when in a larger group.

Five guys, five beers. Castilho had a Bud, 5/10, didn't love it. Gui had a Modelo, rated it 6/10, decent beer. Luís went for Heineken, 10/10 cause it was the first beer in the last 17h. Crespo had a Stella, 7/10, revigorating. I had a Bud as well, 7,5/10, "nectar, eheheh"

My husband and I stopped here for a refreshing beer and a light lunch. The salad was great and crunchy as it contained fresh ingredients. We also shared an order of wings. That too perfectly hit the spot. Great ambiance with traditional Irish decor.

I visited Jack Dempsey's pub and was unpleasantly surprised that forgotten history about the man the pub was named after. Yes, the theme and photos are there, but the atmosphere is lost. Does anyone even know who Jack Dempsey was???

Popped in this past Saturday for a quick lunch. Old school bar with a warm ambiance. Decor is cool. Its not a huge place but there appears to be seating on 3 levels. We were on street level but add all that up and its sizable. Got the sliders and a Guinness ☘️. Both were great. Service was terrific as well.

I was with a small group of pre-teens waiting to tour the Empire State Building. We noticed this restaurant for its unique exterior design. \nWe approached a few sports bars nearby, and were ignore…

Got the shepherd's pie, with fries and a pint. It's a good portion and a good meal. Server was kind and prompt.

Waiting out a snowstorm here a week ago, the pints of Guinness were poured well by a lovely Irish lass, the burgers are solid with good pub fries, and the place is well worn. This was close to Penn…

Nice food, pleasant staff, nice setting, huge portions. Had natcho' and chilli, tasted gd. Serve nice cider too, a taste of home.

Food is not the best. I had Shepard’s pie, it was very dry and instant mash was used. Portion sizes are great but no flavour to meals. Won’t be going again. On the up side the young waitress who served us was really nice, very helpful and friendly.

Went there for a friend's birthday party on Saturday night. Atmosphere, drinks, and the service were exemplary for a midtown bar in particular was then having Golden Road Mango Cart on tap which is a great west coast beer and a favorite of mine . The food was the one let down. $24 for a cheese steak sandwich to only be served something less than 6 inches in total and then sliced in half is egregious. It tastes great but the portion size should have made it at least 50% less expensive. Overall a good experience, I'd just suggest eating elsewhere

We stopped in here for a shot on New Year’s Eve as we spotted it while passing by after checking out the nearby Empire State Building. As a boxing fan, I was intrigued. Wife liked the idea of going in for a quick shot, since we wet roaming the streets and had some time to kill. It was still late in the afternoon, so it wasn’t too busy at that time. The bar tender wasn’t very friendly, but not rude either - he was just indifferent. Wife and I each had a drink and with a tip, I had spent $40. I figured it was a New York City thing, but for what I spent on 2 drinks, I could have bought a whole fifth of Jim Beam Black label and had change left over. The had some boxing photos on the wall, but beyond that, it didn’t really seem to have anything to do with the champ (Jack Dempsey). Maybe it is named after the fish, which is named after the boxer… They should be paying royalties to the estate of Jack Dempsey for using his name for this pricy dive bar…

I visited this place with some colleagues, and it's a good spot to hang out. Our bill came out to be around $100. We were surprised to see the final charge was $125.50. We had already given a 10% tip, which should have made the total an even $110. It was odd to see the extra 50 cents, as we typically round up when adding a tip. When my colleague, who had checked the bill, asked the staff about the transaction, they said they couldn't even see a record of it. The situation was strange, especially since it was only a small amount of money.

I feel like this place has been here forever. At least longer than I have. Average menu, but you don't come for the food. Good bartenders who are quick on the draft. Cozy pub atmosphere. Easy locat…

Pizza - I'd stay away from. service was good and the restaurant is a cool place to chill. Beer and drinks are good. Food..: I'd pass.

Our server was great, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes there. However, the food was incredibly disappointing. The meals were around $20-25, not cheap, and really not great. The Guinness was good, but my guest and I had about a $90 tab for one Guinness each and a very disappointing meal.

Ive been a regular here for 9 years, the new owner did the right thing by having a late night menu, but made the mistake if keeping the chef. Ive had the pizza several times hoping they would figur…

I will never return to this racist establishment. After finding hair in my food, the manager proceeded to raise his voice and argue with me, suggesting that the hair couldn’t have possibly been their fault and may have been my eyelash or something…. it was clearly much longer than an eyelash and was not my hair texture. He then stormed off before I could even finish speaking. A simple apology would’ve sufficed, but the aggression and gaslighting reflected EXTREMELY poor customer service on top of dry tasteless food.

Marianne Pinola

Went for dinner at 9.30 pm. The area for dining is at the back of the establisment behind the bar. It was way too warm inside and the noise from bar was really loud. The salmon and the mashed potatoes were dry and the salmon had a weird taste, way too salty and oily. ”Vegetables” were broccoli, which was the best part of the meal. When it was time to pay, you could either scan the qr code on the bill or you could pay with card. Since there was no Wi-Fi and no mobile data at the back where everyone was sitting, we chose to pay with card. The waiter took the card and came back with a receipt with 20% tip, which we did not think was okay for service and food we received, but at that point it was too late. We were just really struggling with the heat and noise and wanted to get out.

Hanna Frank

Came in to watch the Anthony Joshua Vs Jake Paul fight. The cover was $10 and drinks were $15. We started watching the fight and out of nowhere the tv froze and we came to a realization they’re using a bootleg streaming service so we ended up paying a $10 cover charge to watch a fight that was consistently lagging on us. At the end, I understand businesses need to make money so they implement cover charges however it’s not about the $10 it’s about the principle. If you’re going to charge me $10 to watch a boxing fight then at least provide the service you promised to provide. Horrible service all around. The bar manager didn’t even compensate anyone with free drinks, etc.

WORST BAR EVER! WORST WAITER! I had the single worst bar experience I have ever had in NYC at Jack Dempsey's, and it was entirely due to a deeply unprofessional and hostile waiter. A member of our party was trying to quickly and politely clean up a spill on the table, and a staff member immediately jumped in with an aggressive, threatening confrontation. He explicitly stated that if we touched the chair again, he would "do something bad," followed by demanding that we leave the establishment. The language he used was vulgar and abusive. This waiter's behavior was completely unprovoked and unacceptable. To be directly threatened by staff simply for attempting to clean our own table is outrageous. This kind of aggressive, hostile behavior and appalling lack of basic customer service completely ruined our evening. I advise anyone considering visiting to beware of the toxic atmosphere created by this individual. It was an appalling display, and management needs to address this staff member's conduct immediately. Food was acceptable, but the Service and Atmosphere were destroyed by this incident.
