From Pub to Burger Pub
Founded in 2008 as Dempsey’s Irish Pub at 623 Vermont St, Lawrence, KS, we started as a family-owned spot for drinks and gatherings. Our gourmet burgers quickly stole the show, inspiring us to expand the menu. That’s how Dempsey’s Burger Pub was born—keeping our Irish roots while adding fresh, made-to-order burgers, wings, salads, fries, and sandwiches for the whole community to enjoy.
Quality You Can Taste
At Dempsey’s, quality comes first. We use fresh, never frozen, angus beef born and raised in the Midwest. Every burger, sandwich, and salad is made with care, ensuring each meal is flavorful and satisfying. Being family-owned means we focus on freshness, consistency, and serving the best food in town, every single day.
Where Everyone Feels at Home
For over 15 years, we’ve welcomed locals and visitors to historic Downtown Lawrence. Our mission is simple: offer delicious meals, a friendly atmosphere, and a place where everyone feels at home. Whether you’re craving a juicy burger, crispy fries, or wings with a kick, Dempsey’s Burger Pub delivers a memorable experience that keeps guests coming back again and again.
