Dempsey's Brewery and Pubs nails that authentic Irish atmosphere so well, you half-expect a…read moreleprechaun to pinch your pint while you're not looking. The warm wooden digs and lively vibe make it a proper escape in Watertown, SD, though the only drawback is the constant buzz of chatter drowning out what should be some good ol' Dropkick Murphys tunes. I was particularly impressed by the great pastrami on homemade rye--tender, tangy meat stacked high on fresh-baked bread that could make even a New Yorker do a happy jig. Their bartenders are absolute gems, slinging drinks and banter with the charm of seasoned storytellers who somehow remember your name after one visit. One quirky touch is how the floors creak underfoot, like they're gossiping about all the pints spilled before you. Strangely enough, the soup of the day was tequila, a boozy curveball that had the whole place toasting with confused delight and empty bowls. The house brews hold their own, pairing like old friends with the hearty grub. All in all, Dempsey's is a witty, wonderful Watertown, SD gem.

Not only was the beer great, the brewer was friendly and informative. Plus, they have a great burger (that isn't iceberg lettuce) and FANTASTIC sweet potato fries, possibly the best I've ever had. It was a fabulous start for SD!

Every time i'm back in town I always make it a point to come here a couple times. I'm always glad…read moreto see this place succeed and if I can help spread the good word and share some great photos I'm here for it. What's particularly good this time, is they have upped there game with a new chef. The food wasn't bad before but now it seems like the taste of the dishes have been upped another level. The time i've been here to grab some food I would give the dishes 5 stars each. I tried their hamburger of the week, that was so good; probably one of the best i've had. They had a bacon jam, two types of cheese with one of them deep fried like a biscuit. Of course the buns were soft. What a stellar burger. Their pizza was almost as tasty as their burger and maybe not to that of Dempsey's but nothing to be ashamed at and I wouldn't hestitate to order again. They a variety of beers the produce and i'm not a much of a beer person but any of their wheat drinks are good. This place I would say would be better in winter but is a fine place to come and hang out for food and conversation and sometimes they have someone playing music which is a nice added touch.

I pulled in and there was a spot right in front (apparently there is more parking in the back). Sat at the bar and the bartender waited on me right away. He was great and attentive. I ordered the JR Burger with fries (side of ranch and ketchup). The burger was great. Juicy, delicious, a little messy from the barbecue sauce, what else could you ask for? The place looked like a hunting lodge which was awesome! I'd definitely go back here (they do offer chislic)!

Our meal arrived in a very short time, 8 - 10 minutes & everything was very, very good with fair prices ( 2 meals & 2 beverages for $27.21 ) We absolutely will come back to The Grainery next time we find ourselves in Watertown.
