“Great spot for casual food and drinks in downtown Rapid City. Huge list of local and craft beers on draft, even a seasonal N/A kombucha on draft. Lots of great N/A beer options in a can/bottle as well. Decent selection of wine as well.

We had flat bread pizzas and they were great. One of these would certainly feed two people. We each got our own and had leftovers for lunch the next day!

Service was good, chill vibe with TVs to catch a game of that’s your thing. Seating can be tough if you don’t get here early.“

“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“

“It's the best Karaoke in the area! Jada does an amazing job and is super entertaining. I'd recommend the steak tips. They're cooked to perfection. It's surprisingly good. Less like food you'd order at a bar and closer to restaurant quality.

Drinks are reasonable priced. The people are great, and it's always a fun time.“

Rimrock Happy Tavern Bar • $
12300 SD-44, Rapid City

“I am giving 5 stars because they had 1/2lb cheeseburger and fries for $10. It was very good. Not a fancy place, located on Highway 44. West of Rapid City SD. It was a handmade pattie, not premade round. The little general store also sells groceries. Do not go here if you are high maintenance. It is, definitely a little hole in the wall where people are hard working, kind and serve a mean cheeseburger.“

“Where to start on this…. I guess at the front door where we met annually nice and sincer Gentleman who gave us our card pass and instructions how to get to Juniper since we have never been there. Met an Awesome young man in the elevator who worked there and gave us an over view of Juniper and what to expect.
Greeted by Jamie and led to our table looking east over the city!!! Great view. Jamie was also our server and helped and made suggestions for our meal!! She was SUPER SWEET and knew her job…. And was soooo much fun as she helped make this a Special Evening for my wife and I.

We started out with an appetizer of Bread with French Baguette bread, Garlic Butter, Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil… one of my favorites!! My wife ordered the the Roasted Beet Salad and I a Caesar Salad. Both Excellent!!!
Our Main entrée was Wild Caught Alaskan Halibut and I had the Steak Special with Scallops. Both Dishes were INCREDIBLE!!! The flavor of her Halibut was outstanding and I would order anytime. But I have to say about my steak…. It was the BEST STESK I’ve had in Rapid City in the 51 years I’ve live here. Cooked to PERFECTION (Med Rare) with the most outstanding sear that added sooo much flavor!!! Only place that compares to this is Mortan’s Steak House in St. Louis.
This was Truley a night for us to remember with the view of Rapid City at night, the EXCELLENT FOOD and SERVICE!!
I can’t Thank Jamie, the Chefs and Staff for making our Night Out one to remember!!!!!“

“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.“

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“
