user reviews of Dempsey's, Cardiff
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| This pub gets quite busy in the evenings on weekends as it stays open until 2am. Luckily there's usually a really good crowd there; none of the revolution crowd or stag/hen weekends that have taken over Cardiff in recent years. Like one of the other reviewers pointed out, when it's quiet it is rather grim and I wouldn't bother in the day. The place has become rather shabby in the last year or two and could really do with a lick of paint. The toilets are in a bad state too and aren't cleaned through the night. That said, a night in Dempsey's is always good fun. Don't expect any posh beers, the usual Brains crowd pervades. If you're into jazz, there are some great acts upstairs put on by a lovely dedicated couple. Plenty of super local acts for a reasonable price and a nice atmosphere. manglewangle - 28 Aug 2010 15:41 |
| Bit grim and cheerless when it's quiet. Go to the Gatekeeper, round the corner in Womanby Street instead. AdamAdamant - 17 Jul 2006 20:57 |
| Nice pub with a good range of Brains beers. Quiet and peaceful during the day, but can get packed at night (as I suppose can anywhere in the city centre). Has an upstairs bar where live bands and a few events happen. Crow_Valley - 5 Jun 2006 22:29 |
| Called for the first time on FA Cup Semi Final Day, Sat 16/04/05. The 'Brains' bitter was the best bitter I have tasted for years! Rocket - 19 Apr 2005 19:58 |
