24 Best Bars in Rapid City

“Jazz Brunch was an absolute hit!!! Fantasic food, music, and atmosphere ❤️“

“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.“

“We LOVE this bar! This is our first time in and oh my gosh. Service, atmosphere, drinks AMAZING. Best bar in Rapid! Very classy, low key. They have snacks on menu also but we didnt order any. Nice Halloween decor as well :) Whiskey menu is incredibly impressive and they have other liquors as well. 10/10.“

“great atmosphere and large selection of beers. would definitely go back.“

“Great cigar lounge. Five stars“

“The food was great. The service was good. Prices were reasonable. The thing that will keep me from going back is the table next to us that was loud and using the f word every other word. when we said something to the waitress she replied that it was a dive bar and they were regulars.“

“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.“

“We had the best time with our group and the Pedaler guides that we had the privilege of joining us, were absolutely amazing.“

“If you're looking for a great college bar with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly bartenders, Brass Rail Bar is definitely worth checking out. While it can be easy to walk by when wandering around, this bar is the perfect place to grab a drink after a long day.The bartenders at Brass Rail Bar are some of the friendliest in town. They always greet you with a smile and make you feel welcome. Not only are they great at making drinks, but they also take the time to chat with you when it’s not too busy, and often recognize you and know your name.The atmosphere at Brass Rail Bar is low key and relaxed. It's not too loud or crowded except on weekends when it can really get busy, so you can actually have a conversation with your friends without having to shout over the music (normally!). The bar has a great selection of beers on tap, as well as a variety of cocktails and other drinks. Normally if you ask the bartenders, they often will have a recommendation or some of the bar favorites like the “Antioxygen”Overall, Brass Rail Bar is a great spot for college students and normal people alike who are looking for a great place to grab some drinks and blow off steam.“

“I just moved here and i have to say kellys is a place you can definitely call home the food is amazing, I stand on this all 10 toes the service well they have some i mean all amazing respectable services you will ever find in the US. The environment its comforting its and welcoming I would definitely recommend this bar.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Great place really great food and great staff!!!❤“

“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!!!!!“

“Our barista/waitress was amazingly kind and friendly, she goes an extra mile for her customers.

“We’re on our way through. We weren’t able to go to our first choice since they closed early. We’re glad they did. I loved the good vibes sandwich so much; huge fan of sweet and savory. The fries were excellent—hot and crispy. My husband loved his blackened salmon salad too. Our server was Adam and he was very good. Refilled my water and ketchup exactly when I wanted without having to ask. Would definitely come back if in the area again.“

“We visited this Chili's Grill & Bar during a trip to Mount Rushmore National Memorial and was looking for somewhere to eat and Chili's was a very welcome option, we arrived quite late but the service and food was still great, would visit again!
