What to do and see in Rapid City, South Dakota (SD): The Best Food & Drink

January 31, 2022 Chanda Heide

Rapid City has long been considered one of the gateways to the West, and its rich cowboy and Native American heritage is the result. Visitors won't want to miss the area's mammoth outdoor sculptures. There's Mount Rushmore, of course, but work also continues on the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, which will be the largest sculpture in the world when it is finally completed years down the line. Among the many local attractions are the scenic Black Hills, several nearby cavern systems that offer guided tours and the South Dakota Air and Space Museum.

Pleasantly surprised at this nice spot at the Rushmore Hotel. Excellent drinks, very good menu. Incredibly pleasant servers, especially Sophia, who was there most nights and not only made a stellar drink but her food recommendations were spot on! Steak caesar salad, crab cakes, and lettuce wraps were all very good.

Situated a short 10 minute walk from the city centre this bar is well worth a visit. It does not serve food but concntrates on offering a good range of beers in comfortable surroundings. I had the Bitter Warrior which was served on cask and was very tasty. On Keg we enjoyed the Victory Stout, the Coffee Porter and the Branding Iron Brown. Thanks for a good afternoon !
