New Downtown Burger Pub Offers Fresh Ingredients and a Relaxed Atmosphere
Dempsey’s Restaurant and Pub recently opened downtown on 228 N. 12th Street. The décor is simple and clean. Small Irish accents and three huge murals highlight the regional craft breweries. Dempsey’s wants you to relax, play a game of pool, have a nice beer, and enjoy a gourmet burger made with fresh ingredients.
“Dempsey’s Burger Pub takes pride in supporting local farmers by providing the freshest local ingredients when available.” Dempsey’s offers hormone and antibiotic free Kobe beef, fresh mixed greens, and the best homemade sauces around. Some other highlights of Dempsey’s menu include:
*Hot Hawaiian Kobe Burger – $11 – pineapple jalapeno chutney, applewood bacon, bibb lettuce, spicy sriracha aioli, on a pretzel bun.
*Salmon Burger/Salad – $11 – the salmon is fresh and delicious. Get it traditional burger style or on a salad with dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, and maytag blue cheese.
*Sweet Potato Fries – $1.5/3 – seasoned sweet or salty and served with one of the many delicious Dempsey’s sauces. I recommend the “Old Bay & Tomato Coulis Aioili”
