Disappointing nightclub experience. Poorly managed, overcrowded, and the atmosphere felt uncomfortable rather than fun. Music wasn’t great, prices were high for what you get, and security didn’t make the place feel safe later in the night. Overall just messy and badly run. Retro is a far better option. Safer, cheaper, and with a much better vibe. Wouldn’t return.
I have been coming to Dempseys for over 20 years. Always experienced friendly staff and a great venue and atmosphere. Tonight I tried to enter and the doorman squared up to me and asked if I was a member and I said yes. He asked for ID which I didn't need as a member and told me to go home. He wouldn't even check the system to see if I was a member or not. He just decided he didn't like me and smiled smugly and said its time to go home. Won't be coming back here again and will tell everyone to avoid as clearly it is not being managed properly
Great new year 🎊 Good music 🎵🎶 Drinks reasonably priced Great atmosphere stayed last the bells.
I have been coming to Dempsey’s for over 15 years and have always experienced friendly staff, a great venue, and a good atmosphere. Unfortunately, that changed last Friday night. When I tried to enter, the doorman asked for ID so I could be enrolled on a new system that requires fingerprints. I raised concerns about data protection and questioned how safe this system is — Dempsey’s isn’t an airport facility, and I don’t feel comfortable having my fingerprint stored. As a long-standing member, this shouldn’t have been necessary anyway. The doorman refused to even check the system to see if I was already a member and simply told me to go home. I wasn’t drunk or causing any trouble — it felt like a complete abuse of discretion and very dismissive treatment. After more than 15 years of loyalty, this experience was extremely disappointing. I won’t be returning, and if this is how regular customers are treated, Dempsey’s risks losing many more.
It's so gut-wrenching for one of the few lgbtq+ nightclubs to be so unsafe and unfriendly. It would be a lovely place to be but, the staff do nothing to protect vulnerable people and even go as far as to harm said vulnerable people. I highly would recommend going somewhere else. The prices for drinks you get aren't really that worth it either. Better quality of drink for same price or more but, in other places that are much friendly and safer.
