“Black Hills Party Pedaler is always tons of fun! Our guides - Glory (Gina?) and Anna were a blast. Thanks for a great time!“

“To say the least, I had one of the best and most memorable experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The breast has been more than accommodating to my needs, but also just in general as a bar, but the bartender Zach kinda gives a homie vibe gives you the feeling that you are at home with your friends, a good place to hang out very well-maintained and well groomed bar where you have an ability to play Some video games and or just the normal camaraderie of a bar to say the least that zach will go out of his way to make sure that you are well taken care of within legal limits and make sure that you get home safely. I went in this town, making sure that another patron Got a physical ride home rather than walking or driving to me that is worth it waiting and gold I think this bar or this establishment deserves a five star rating and she can be kept that way no matter who sees it and I greatly appreciate the camaraderie since I’ve been here“

“One of the best bars I’ve been to in a while. Has a really friendly, relaxed vibe and despite not knowing anyone, I felt right at home. Excellent staff and drinks. Their karaoke nights are a blast. Will definitely be returning next time I am in the area.“

“The food, service, and prices are great! I'm just visiting for work, so I've only been twice, but I've tried their boneless wings, fries, cheddar cheese balls, and chislic and all four were immaculate.
Even with a decent crowd, the food comes out hot and perfectly crispy. It was my first time trying chislic and it was super! It has a lovely, assertive spice coating and is crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
And as far as the bar, their service is awesome. They manage to keep everyone's glasses full while also vibing with the regular patrons. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!“

“This is a great bar with a small town feel...ALL of the bartenders and local regulars are absolutely awesome!!...it's a great place to come to if you need a break from the kiddos, work, or just the daily stress of life!!...but keep in mind ..it's not a restaurant...it's a bar!!...it's not suited for rowdy kids....my wife and I drive from the far east side of Rapid to come here and enjoy ourselves on a regular basis...if your looking for a great drink at a fair price..served by great bartenders. While surrounded by some awesome locals ..then this is a great place to check out!!...“

“🤟😀Pat, Lilly and Victoria do a great job. Everyone here is so friendly and fun to be around!“

“This place is amazing! The ground floor is full of modern ticket games, food, drinks, and prizes. The bottom floor is old school games and pinball. This was a highlight of my trip. There was an awesome open mic night, great games and drinks, and a fun time overall. I will definitely go back to rapid city just to hang out here. They had a great open mic night also! Fun place with great staff :)“

“Thirsty’s Burgers & Beers was tonight’s choice for dinner. Not only was the food great but our server was AMAZING! He always had a smile on his face and we never had to look for him. He made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience. Will definitely return!“

“Brent was an excellent, excellent server. He made helpful selections. Our food was over the top good. The cocktails were tasty with the right amount of alcohol. The Oktoberfest lunch menu was very German, The service was excellent. We are from Indiana and highly, highly recommend Minerva’s. Thanks for a 10 star lunch!“

“I reserve 4 and 5 star ratings for special occasions. This place was exactly what I was looking for, short of space to dance and an atmosphere that encourages conversation. The bartenders had a hell of a night and still managed to be on top of everyone's orders. There was a solid amount of people in there with a steady trickle throughout the night. I will be returning to this location.“

“Marriott is always is one of my top choices but Courtyard is becoming one of my favorites within the Marriott family. The courtyard in Rapid City has made my stay enjoyable.“

“Our barista/waitress was amazingly kind and friendly, she goes an extra mile for her customers. Mac and her coworker a big guy with a hat were both exceptional, and they could not have been better, they take care of everybody with respect and kindness. We came every night of our stay at the Marriott. Very good service

Parking: Located in the middle of the Watiky Waterpark, and connected to five hotels Even on your own, or in a business trip, this place’s atmosphere is very good, quite warm, big screens for sports fans.

Kid-friendliness: Sliders Grill and bar makes a great place to relax, while keeping an eye at your children, or spending time with family/friends“
