Dempsey's Irish Pub

Dempsey’s Irish Pub, located in the 600 block of Vermont, isprobably more known for their gourmet hamburgers than for their wings.  And I think we took them by surprise showing up for lunch on a Saturday and all of us demanding wings.  They served us frozen celery.  :-)

They offer three types of wings and all come by the pound.  8-10 wings come per pound.  1 lb. $6; 2 lbs. $10; 3 lbs. $13!  Good everyday prices compared to others.

Flavor profiles are: Roasted Garlic (mild); Grilled Pineapple (medium); and Hot (hot).  

The flavors are all good although we thought that the grilled pineapple was the milder one between it and the roasted garlic.  The roasted garlic had a really good overall flavor and heat profile.  And the hot was not too hot and provided a nice after burn as it continued to build with heat that sort of lingered in the back of the throat.    

Texture and tenderness was good.  Had a few that got a little dried out – especially on the drummies.  But overall the TnT was good. 

Given all this, they received an overall score of 6.9 from the Wing Nutz.  Not too shabby and we would definitely go back and eat wings – especially at those prices.
