Have been a a regular dinner there every visit to Camden Yards and to Baltimore for years. We will not return! A total disappointment! From the greater at the door, the menu and the cost!

Stopped in for a beer before heading to the Ravens game, awesome atmosphere, and good service. Will stop again for pre-sporting event drinks!

Service was great. Trish was the bartender and she did a solid job when it got busy. The low score is for the limited menu. I feel like there was a burger and a cheesesteak and not much else. Update this before next year. Give it a facelift too. Maybe rename it after a more recent player too.

Very small beer tap list, only one craft beer available in can, expensive $27 for two cans. Friendly staff, pretty fast service.

My wife and I came to Dempsey’s to kill time before our 7:15pm game. We noticed for the first time there wasn’t much of a line going in. We sat at the bar and looked over the menu. The menu is literally only “about” a page long.It was mostly fries and starters. A LOT of good food was missing from the last time we came. We asked the bartender what happened to the rest of the menu items and he said the new owners of Dempsey’s changed things up. So we ordered some Chesapeake Fries, 2 beers and 2 specialty drinks when it was all said and done. The beers were fine, I ordered Guinness Blonde so not much to it. My wife ordered the specialty drinks and said they were pretty good. And lastly the Chesapeake fries were good if you like decent fries and runny crab sauce/dip. I will say when you get the fries you do get a good portion. When we got the check everything came to $80+!!!! Yea that is correct $80+!!! Do not come here if you want a decent meal, save your money and get an $8 hotdog. The 1 star is for being extremely overpriced, not having many menu options and while things are already overpriced at venues like these on game night, you feel completely ripped off going to Dempsey’s.

This was such a disappointment. I wish I had read all the recent reviews before we wasted our money here. After an hour and a half drive and a losing 1st game of a doubleheader, we were ready to eat so we headed here for an early dinner since it's right inside the ballpark. The food selections are very limited, overpriced and tasteless. My husband said it's the worst cheesesteak and fries he's ever had. I got a Caesar salad to try to prevent too much disappointment but the croutons were stale and the salad is not worth the $9 they charge. And worst of all....NO CRAB CAKE SANDWICH on the menu. Plus, plastic utensils and watery soda. Save your money and head out to a real restaurant.

Not a brew pub! They do not brew beers. They have mixed cocktails on draft. The brew tanks are just for show. Beer selection is the same basic stuff in the rest of the stadium.

Cool place to see the game, but no recommended if you are looking for good options. They dont have any vegetarian options outside fries, the food just isn't good and over price. If you going for drinks then cool otherwise just eat before you come.

This place used to be nice. Service is now poor. I received underdone chicken tenders which I got severely sick from. The coating was crispy, but I only realized the chicken was iffy after a few bites. Didn’t bother sending it back.

Not enough employees so the service and food time is slow. Draft beer list does not represent Baltimore beers. This should not be called a brew pub. Menu is limited and food is bland. One positive is the great fan atmosphere. This place was much better pre COVID-19.
Won't go back. Things have really changed this year. You order from your phone and the choices are limited No one comes back to check to see if you need anything. No drink refills. And if your order comes incomplete you have to wait while the other person i your party is eating. No one to help you. Very disappointed. We always looked forward to going to Dempseys, but no more. We are done

This place use to be my favorite reason for coming to Camden but the quality has gone way down. Use to be a sit down restaurant that everyone wanted to be at during game day with excellent food, now it's a fastfood style service with limited basic options that are very pricey. You have to order on your phone and you get no real service. I think you'd be fine going to a local restaurant and supporting them rather than waste time here.

What a huge disappointment. First time we've been there since the pandemic. Used to be a very nice restaurant, nothing more then a fast food joint now. Won't ever return.

Wonderful staff! On an extremely hot day the greeter at the front door was so incredibly kind to my daughter who was suffering from heat exhaustion. The service was great, thank you!

Have not been here since 2018, and unfortunately it has gone down hill. The menu prior to a game is very limited. The salad my other party got looked like it was a few days old and not fit for human consumption. The burger was great. The larger issue was with the bar. It took over 30 [yes, THIRTY] minutes to get 2 drinks, even after reminding several servers that we didn't get them multiple times, and they did nothing to help. And I know, someone will make the argument they were busy, but no. Over half the seated restaurant side was empty when we sat down. Every other table after us received drinks almost immediately. Very poorly run. Asked for a manager to complain, and to no shock of mine, one never showed up. Will not eat here again.
