Dempsey's Food & Spirits is a welcoming restaurant with an atmosphere reminiscent of an authentic Irish pub, featuring music, a street patio, and a private room for large groups. Known for its attentive staff who can accommodate dietary restrictions such as Celiac disease, the menu offers a variety of dishes, with the loaded tots and corned beef and kraut being standouts. Recent visits have shown that the food is generally excellent, with customers praising items like the B.E.L.T. and French Toast, along with sides of bacon and sausage. The decor adds a fun touch, featuring great political photos from Ohio’s history, making it a pleasant place to wait or dine. While the coleslaw has received minor criticism for its mayonnaise-heavy dressing, the overall food experience is positive. The restaurant's lively environment and hospitality make it a popular choice, especially for those passing through or visiting nearby. However, some recent reviews noted that they were out of several dishes, which can be disappointing. The high cost of mixed drinks, up to $18 for a double, remains a drawback, and some reviews mention that the food can sometimes be hit or miss. Nonetheless, Dempsey's continues to be a recommended spot for good food and friendly service, especially for a Sunday brunch or a casual meal.
