Long day taking in some history and culture at the Castle? You’ll probably need some refreshments at Dempsey’s, the Irish pub situated right across the road.

Dempsey’s is a place for all your sporting needs too, with everything from football to tennis and boxing on the big screen and a cracking range of both Irish tipples and Brains beers to choose between when you’re getting the rounds in. It’s also one for those keen to hang around into the night, with a 2am licence on Wednesdays and Thursdays extending to 3am for Friday and Saturday.

Dempsey’s is worth a visit whatever time of the week but lovers of live music will want to get round on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, when the pub hosts their jazz nights showcasing the best talents on the South Wales scene right now.
