Venues in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Such a unique place that is truly a one of a kind perfect date spot. The entertainment varies but is usually excellent. Food and drinks are great.

We have been excited about checking out this new jazz club in our region since it opened. They often have local and regional artists but also are starting to bring in bigger names. On a random Tuesday night in March, we saw NY based German-born saxophonist, Tobias Meinhart. I can honestly say outside of my time living in London, I have never heard such exquisite music at a mid week gig. His bassist was one of the best in the industry. Matt Penman plays with all the great of this present jazz age and alongside the rest of the combo was an exceptional performance. The venue is intimate and well cared for and new. A great vibe for a night out. A few of the tables acted like it was background music and talked through half the performance which is understandable but was a little annoying during some of the bass solos that were difficult to hear. I'm not a jazz snob and recognize the history of the music begins in juke joints that were noisy and active but the team might want to encourage quiet conversation when it is a higher cover charge. This is an amazing space and cultural hub! I'm so glad it is in our community. Our meal was a let down. We ordered the calamari and after about 5 to 10 minutes we were told they were out of it. We took up the recommendation to order a bottle of wine from next door, which was so fun. They had an extensive list. After 40 minutes, it never came. We asked about it, and the team had forgotten. They brought it about 10 minutes later. We ordered the spicy meat pizza and the eggplant and chicken pasta. They brought a cheese pizza. When we tracked down the server, they apologized and comped the pizza. The pasta was undercooked and eggplant overcooked. The server was very friendly and apologized several times, which shows they genuinely care about quality and customer service. I am curious if this was just a really off night with regards to food and service. The next time we come we will probably just go for drinks. They appear to have a friendly bartender and a few specialty drinks on the menu. Having this club in the region is vital as a hub of culture and opportunity to engage with live jazz. It is really an answer to prayer. I hope they can figure out their food and beverage offerings and continue to bring in regional and national acts along with the great artists in our area. Definitely go and support live jazz in this great venue.

Such a fantastic addition to downtown Sioux Falls. Love the casual old school pub feel. Even though they only have beer and wine this has been one of the only bars that I have seen without a liquor license do it properly. Stellar selection of beers both nostalgic and new, some seltzers and just a really fun and cool vibe. Great spot to chill drink a beer and avoid some of the louder more "contemporary" bars that don't have the personality this one has. Great spot for happy hour drinks or just a night cap where you want to relax. Also, some cool memorabilia on the wall if you are into sports, can also catch games there and avoid the sports bar crazy crowds.

A down town dive bar that begs to be explored. The bar is full of old cards in the bar. One of the coolest bars in Sioux Falls.

Miss this place, great group of regulars here. Never been treated so kindly, being a visitor passing through. The bartender lady "OG" "automobile by EZ E knowing" "real one".. shes a saint! 🤪 Bottom line, give them your money. 🍻🍻 Na zdorovye 🍻🍻

If cold beer, video games,and playing pool, hanging out with friends is your thing, this is a great place, small but cozy atmosphere.....it's been in Sioux Falls since I've been alive!.....(no, I'm not saying how old i am).

For quiet, intimate cocktail any time of day, this is the best spot in downtown. Most evenings even if full, it’s a place for conversing and sipping. It can be a little livelier on weekend nights as the weather gets nicer but it usually still gets more quaint the it gets. Recommend Raspberry Collins (sorry for no pic) for those that like fizz without it being too sweet. Their whiskey / bourbon cocktails are second to none. Although from out of town, we have been here dozens of times and hoping to be back dozens more.

One of the top cocktail bars in Sioux Falls!! The three quarter nelson is my favorite cocktail in town!

Hello Hi in Sioux Falls is quite possibly the only authentic Tiki Bar in South Dakota. They are 4 for 4 on my Authentic Tiki rating scale (admittedly subjective) - 1) Tiki vibe/Ambience, 2) Decor, 3) Awesome Drink Menu of craft rum cocktails, including the classics and 4) Sells Tiki Mugs, bonus for selling a mug with the bar name. This is a must stop place on your South Dakota road-trip to see all of SD’s wonders.

I am sober and this place has an extraordinary MOCKtails list. The service was amazing and even with a sparse early crowd the vibe is 🔥. Nostalgic film on screen, great music all in a Tiki Bar setting. A Sioux Falls must see.

I love Blarney, the manager Joe is an awesome person, the staff seems to resemble their treatment, always kind, happy, the environment is warm, welcoming. They have a space where they open the side of the building so you can enjoy passerby traffic. The food is fantastic, they have a huge quality selection, and outside seating. This is by far one of the better places to enjoy in Sioux Falls!

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. After leaving the police station, I decided to take the wife to downtown to try it. Upon entering, it's nice. More of a bar than a restaurant vibe. They play Irish music. We ordered a soup and sandwich lunch special and a Reuben. Food was decent. Pretty much slightly above average bar food. Prices weren't bad. Nothing about it would draw me back so it'll be a one and done stop but nothing bad to say about it. Just an average pub with average food.

Excellent cocktails with a charming ambiance. Food from Parker's is served there so it is easy to grab a drink and some food without a reservation at Parker's.

I dropped into Myrtle’s Fur Vault & Bar without a reservation and ended up having one of the best meals I’ve had downtown. This is hands-down my favorite cocktail bar in downtown Sioux Falls—from the drinks to the ambiance, everything hits the mark. I ordered the Zarzamora—a beautifully layered cocktail featuring Lustau Amontillado “Los Arcos” sherry, Glacial Lakes blackberry brandy (crafted just down the street on Main Ave), orange bitters, mint, and sugar. It was bold, aromatic, and perfectly balanced—made even better knowing it features a local distillery. For dinner, I had the DTSF Restaurant Week special: Veal Saltimbocca, prepared by the chefs at Parker’s Bistro next door—another favorite of mine. The dish was phenomenal: tender veal over house-made linguine with preserved lemon cream sauce, basil, prosciutto, spring vegetables, and parmesan. Elegant, comforting, and layered with flavor. I sat at the bar, but there was a private event happening in the back—and the space is gorgeous. Think vintage glam meets speakeasy chic. Whether you're stopping in for dinner, cocktails, or hosting an event, Myrtle’s is an unforgettable experience in downtown Sioux Falls.

Great place to eat and just have casual fun. Enjoy the kitchen with a great menu. Prices are good and punch card.

I visited the VA outreach to speak with Shanon, did not attend the restaurant, but it looked pretty cool and it sure was busy. I was however alarmed becauae no one was wearing a mask. Certainly, if you are attending a restaurant, you probably won't use one, but I had to walk through this to get to the VA outreach office and zI, as well as my family at home are all at rusk. Plus, there was a guy there at the VA office that didn't wear a mask around me (Shanon did). There is no real info about the VA office in the directory and it was hard to find, as well.

Loved that this Taphouse is adults ONLY 🥰. Was disappointed that I had to keep watching the hair blow on the liquid cage. (Pic 1) so there needs to be some house keeping done. Food over all was tasty. Was really excited for the duck fries but honestly all it was shoe strings fries & to me didn’t taste any different than normal fries. The hamburgers were good & the Brussels sprouts were tasty. Would I recommend this place… YES… it’s a great place to go without having to hear or see children running around. 👍

When we arrived it was 430pm. They were not busy, 1 lady at the bar and two other couples. 2 in our party. It took forever to get our drinks. We ordered a pork sandwich and chicken wings, both with fries. We had to ask for silverware, napkins and salt. Not once were we offered another drink. The pork sandwich was good but the wings were burnt. Fries were good. Asked for a box, had to wait. Left the cash on the table with the bill and stood to leave not one word from the waitress. She was to busy talking to the lady at the bar the entire time. Will never return.

Last night I was in there with my dad. We gambled for a bit and after we gambled, I went up to the bar and asked if I could have a menu after waiting for several minutes at a table when no one came. After our food came out I went and grabbed it on the bar. They never brought it to the table and when I went up to get my food, I asked the bartender why he couldn’t bring the food to my table and he said because he’s not a server and I said OK so I asked him for a side of barbecue and aju sauce and as he was coming out of the kitchen, I heard the waitress say well maybe you should’ve gave her some toilet water. That was very unprofessional. After we sat down eating the bartender came and WAITED on the table in front of us. The waitress came by and we explained what happened and she didn’t have a care in the world. When I went and called to speak to a manager the next day he wasn’t in. I checked my account today and they charged my card with my dad’s food on there without asking us. Find better people to work for you. Bartenders and servers get tips based on their service. I actually enjoyed coming to this bar once in a while but won’t be back with these type of rude people working here.

Located on the busiest road in the state, the atmosphere is that of a small town bar, but isn’t in any way a “dive bar” atmosphere. The food is wonderful! Great portions, great prices, great taste. Seriously underrated. Beers are huge. Parking isn’t the best. Try the wings, parm fries, sandwiches, or literally anything.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I was at Club David for the Seafood Boil and WOW was it good! The shrimp, crab, corn, and sausages were amazing, and the seasoning had a nice little kick without being too much. The atmosphere was super chill and the staff were amazing, especially with how busy it was! Overall, a fun experience and I’d definitely come back for another boil night.

Caught a show at Club David on the last Sunday of the month and was totally blown away. They do a live jazz night with dinner and themed cocktails—seriously one of the best surprises I’ve found in Sioux Falls. The Jesse Christen Band absolutely killed it, playing jazz and blues classics, and even invited folks from the crowd to join them on stage. Super fun, welcoming vibe. The food? Not what you’d expect from a local dive. For $17 I had a 1/2 rack of ribs that slid off the bone, some insanely good homemade cornbread (tasted like gourmet cake), and fresh coleslaw. I started with a bourbon cocktail called the Smokestack Lightning—honestly as good as anything you’d get downtown. Ended the night with a bartender-recommended non-alcoholic drink called THX (see pic)—super refreshing and the perfect wind-down for the final set. Great drinks, amazing music, and a shockingly good dinner special. Can’t wait to go back next month.

Best dive bar in town. The diversity of it's regular patrons spans all walks of life and they are all extremely pleasant. The staff are equally pleasant and extremely skilled in customer service.

Good dive bar. Plenty of drink options and entertainment. Their outdoor smoking area is a must for smokers.

Since when do bartenders assume because you have more money on the bar than the cost of the drink that that's the tip? Beer $3 with a $3 tip? Really?!? Whatever. You need it take it. Seen too many bars doing this lately. Tommy Jacks?

Bartenders know what they’re doing. I hadn’t been in here for months but Jeb remembered me and knew exactly what I wanted to drink.

Showed up on 7/26/2025. Pretty light crowd at 10pm (time as I'm posting). The female behind the bar, dark hair/glasses, is bubbly and attentive. Andrew (I believe....) is not. Photo attached is him visiting with an older couple at the bar. He has been visiting for atleast 15 minutes, no attention to any other patrons. Also, vaping on the job? It's clear this is a location that caters to "regulars".

One of our favorite places to eat for nightly specials. We love the Thursdays Pizza half price special. Half price Pizza and Beer. They have other weekday specials and sometimes a Singo night. That is where they play a song, and you mark the title off on your card and they give away prizes for the winners. It can get a little noisy at times but after all it is a bar. People of all ages go there. We see 21 to 80 all the time. Try the Bootlegger Pizza. It's our fav and also the taco.

First time here. Kool spot. Food was good. Would come again and knowing I'm coming again.

Loved getting the duck strips, unfortunately they are not the same anymore and sell duck tenders, definitely don't taste great. Wont return anymore until they change back as thats the only reason I came to this bar and grill.

There’s nothing for food. Pizza. Ordered a drink and got nothing but mixer. Ordered another shot. Watched a less than two count pour added to my drink. Went for the comedy show. Walked out. Seemed like a bunch of adults who still live in their mother’s basements.

I love the comedy club downstairs and always have had great experiences upstairs and down. The staff are friendly and they have a robust drink selection. I also appreciate Lucky's for hosting our comedy festival and being great about the entire experience.

Wiley’s Bar is an absolute gem in Sioux Falls, and my recent visit there was nothing short of fantastic! I decided to try their famous Big Kahuna Pizza, and let me tell you, it was a flavor-packed masterpiece. The combination of fresh toppings, melty cheese, and sweet and savory flavors was perfection, but what truly set it apart was the crust. It had just the right amount of crispiness with a soft, chewy center—pure pizza bliss! On top of the amazing food, the service was exceptional. Our server Megan was an absolute delight! She was charming, attentive, and brought the experience to the next level with her warm, personalized touch. She kept calling me by my name, which made me feel truly valued as a guest—it’s those little moments that make dining feel special. Megan stayed on top of everything, making sure we had refills, checked in just the right amount, and always had a smile that brightened the room. Between the delicious food, the comfortable atmosphere, and Megan’s outstanding service, Wiley’s Bar is a place I’ll definitely be returning to soon. Whether you’re a pizza lover or just looking for a great spot to enjoy a night out, Wiley’s delivers in every way. Highly recommend the Big Kahuna Pizza (and Megan if you’re lucky enough to have her as your server)!

Although it was very quiet when we were there we cpuld easily notice what a great place it is. Our bartender told us that the best days are weekends and some holidays outside the main holidays.

The waitress was so wonderful. Came in for a late lunch. The food was delicious and drinks were great. Prices were reasonable. Next time I'd like to check out the rooftop

I really enjoy the swing & line dancing lessons they host on Thursday nights at 9 pm on the second floor. They have a roof top patio with frie tables to sit down and relax when you not dancing. Great spot, highly recommended. I haven't eaten anything there so I can't rate that.

My BF and I very much enjoy coming here. It is clean, comfortable, enjoyable and the ladies are all so very nice. The manager Annie and the host Liza are very sweet and attentive. The security (dylan) is always on point. The DJ brian is great at his job. We always see him chatting with the girls to make sure their music is just right. But over all we love to come see Mesa! She I personable, friendly, enjoyable and over all an amazing dancer! I definitely recommend this place

I went to Scarlett O’Haras for the first time couple weekends ago. The atmosphere was excellent very laid back, could hear music but able to hold a conversation with my wife still, everyone was super friendly! Our service was amazing- the waitress always checked up right as we needed another drink no matter how busy or not it was throughout the night. The dancers were good as well. Obviously we didn’t like everyone but it had to do with our taste and not the girl herself.
