Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We stumbled upon this place while walking around Sioux Falls. They had 40 beers on tap and allowed free tastings. The staff was so friendly they tried a beer with me. We sat at the bar and ordered food as well. Great burgers and even better fries. All the staff were super friendly and helpful.

    Loved this place. We were taking a drive through the Dakotas and wanted to check out the gay scene. Its COVID so not many options and its also SD. However this was the cutest place ever with a great outdoor area upstairs so we could get a drink (strong pour) and just chill. We loved it so much, we will def be back if we are ever in the area again.

    My life sucks a bit less because of this bar. If you find yourself in Sioux Falls, don't skip out on this gem. Top-notch staff, delicious drinks, and a unique atmosphere.

    A hidden gem...doesn't look like much from the outside (kind of a standard strip mall look) - but don't let that deter you...step inside and you find yourself in a cozy joint that wraps itself around you and you don't want it to let go. Service staff is friendly, food is good and drinks are decent pours. The holiday decor is always above par and worth checking it. We don't even live in SF but make a point to stop here almost every time we are in SF - check it out!

    We went to see Guilty Pleasures Orchestra because friends recommended them. They played at The Thirsty Duck on a Saturday night. We sat right in front of them & weren't blasted out by overly loud music. We were impressed with their playing & their friendliness!!! The bar was nice & roomy & looked fairly new. We enjoyed our time there. We had good service.

    Go here frequently. Beer is very reasonably priced both during happy hours and other. Only a three taps of specialty beers is the only negative. The food is excellent and again great prices. Pizza is a thin crust and outstanding. Wings are also good. Check out the website for lunch specials, nightly food specials and dry specials.

    Nice humidor limited cigar selection, however had on hand the brand and style I smoked. Can ask for more. Bartender was knowledgeable about his bourbon selection and suggested a fine bourbon to try.
    Recommend to all who want to try something new

    Good place for drinks. They play a variety of music and have $5 pitchers. A couple of people had beers with a pickle in it. I had never seen a pickle in a beer before so we decided to try it. Not too bad, but doubt I'll drink that again. At least I can say I tried it. We got there too late for food since the kitchen closed at 10pm.

    A guy at a different bar told me about this place, so I had to see it my last night in town. It’s the definition of a dive bar- laid back locals, a decent bartender, and dimly lit. Beer selection is decent, and they had the game on. Bathroom has seen better days, but I’ve been in much, much worse.

    If you go in not expecting a world class place, you’ll have a good time.

    I have visited several sports bars with restaurants. When you walk in the places with people talking and television playing in the background. Typically you have to wait for a table.

    Usually these places have excellent wings, onion rings, sandwiches, and pizza. On this occasion, I visited with friends and was shocked by the small number of people. Usually, I see it bustling and nearly SRO.

    My order arrived hot, though the pizza was a bit dough and lacking flavor. I found the lacking of flavor to be a bigger issue than a slightly under cooked dough. However, for the price and size it was something I could overlook. The onion rings, we had ordered were not the thick beer battered that I am used to eating. Instead the onion were cut quite thin and coating was not the airy beer battered but very crunchy like the batter mix you buy in a store or frozen.

    Overall it good and would recommend though I would not get my expectations too high and I would not recommend the onion rings.

    While waiting for a table at JL Beers, it was suggested to pop in here for a quick drink....we had so much fun, we almost passed on dinner! Service/staff was excellent and they have old school pinball games, shuffleboard, ping pong table, miniature bowling, lifesize jenga....and AWESOME old school music. Definitely a fun place to just hang out with friends or couples Had some yummy specialty drinks as well. Highly recommend!

    The two-fers are awesome and several options are offered! Staff is very friendly and very efficient and provided great service to our group of about 15 people. Food and drink is reasonably priced. Would certainly stop again when in Sioux Falls.

    We stopped at Rookies just for a drink or two, but there was no open seating and no one at the door to let us know if it would be a long wait or if we just had to wait to see for ourselves. We ended up just leaving.
