Overview

Next time there's a big fight on at The Garden stop by this midtown sports bar and you'll likely find yourself in similar company.

History

Still open till four, fight or no fight

We once pointed fight fans here for the big nights at the Garden. Since 2008 it has also been home to the New York City club of University of Kentucky alumni1. It's still a working American Irish bar and pub in Midtown, open daily from 11 in the morning until 4 the next morning2. Its listings spell it Demsey's, without the p2.
