6 Ways to Savor Downtown

Lunch, libations, lattes and more all await you in Downtown Rapid City. You’ll be able to discover a unique take and an excellent rendition of whatever you’re craving while you live, work or play in Downtown Rapid City.

Creative Caffeine

Get your day started on the right foot with a great cup of coffee. Stop in Alternative Fuel Coffee House for an array of handcrafted beverages and smoothies. If you want some to take home with you, Dark Canyon Coffee will set you up with everything from espresso to your new favorite breakfast blend. Prefer something a little lighter? Stop in The Spice & Tea Exchange for a wide variety of tea, spices, and gifts.

Delectable Dinners

If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience, check out Tally’s Silver Spoon. Their Indecision Menu takes diners on a culinary adventure with delicious twists and turns you won’t expect. All you have to do is choose two, three, four, or five courses and let Tally’s take it from there. Delmonico Grill is another way to discover fine dining in Rapid City — splurge and order the best steak you’ve ever eaten.

Sensational Suds

Did you know South Dakota is in the top 5 states for beer consumption per capita? When you have craft breweries like ours, it’s easy to see why. Firehouse Brewing Company was the first brewery in our state. They’ve been crafting quality beer since 1991, and they’ve only gotten better with age. If you like a little adventure with your brew, make sure you check out Hay Camp Brewing Company, too. Their handcrafted, small-batch ales focus on quality over quantity, and their entire crew is trained to help you find your new favorite beer.

Visionary Vino

If you prefer grapes over grains, you’re in luck. Firehouse Wine Cellars is the perfect addition to the brewery next door. All their wine is fermented and bottled on site, and their list of award-winning wines will please even the most discerning sommelier. For the full wine-and-dine experience, grab a reservation at Wine Cellar Restaurant.

Laudatory Lunches

You’ll find locals and visitors alike taking their mid-day meal at restaurants throughout Downtown Rapid City. The Bashful Bison serves classic deli fare with a South Dakota twist. Philly Ted’s Cheezsteaks is a local favorite and offers a taste of Philadelphia right here in Rapid City.

Family Favorites

What pairs best with a family meal? How about arcade games? Press Start is serving family favorites like burgers and pizzas all set in a gamer’s playground. Mom and dad can enjoy one of the video game inspired cocktails, and the whole family can try their luck (and skill) at winning prize tickets in the two story arcade.

After a long day of hiking and sightseeing, a cocktail could help you unwind.

The Path Less Traveled Memorial Park

If you want to take a pause on the hustle and bustle of downtown, head to Memorial Park. This green space is the perfect oasis between downtown Rapid City and The Monument, where you can stroll along the paths, play in the park, or simply relax in the grass. You can also enjoy the various sculptures, the Flood of 1972 Memorial Fountain, and one of the largest Berlin Wall exhibits in the country.

City View Trolley

Ready to get off your feet and learn all there is to know about some of our favorite landmarks? Look no further than the City View Trolley! This local gem runs during the summer, from June through August. You can hop on and off at any of the boarding locations — the trolley makes an hourly loop so you have time to explore and then continue on your way. The entire tour has 15 stops, including Memorial Park, the Journey Museum, Dinosaur Park, the Chapel in the Hills, and, of course, Main Street Square.

Monday-Saturday in the summer. Adult tickets are only $2, while children 12 and under and seniors are only $1.

Historical Walking Tour

The Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission has put together a great walking tour of the downtown area that showcases the incredibly diverse architectural styles of our homes and buildings. You can find a copy online that shows all six designated tours, or simply look for QR codes placed on buildings around town. Some of our favorites include the Hotel Alex Johnson, the Buell Building, and the Elks Building.

Presidents Walking Tour

Rapid City is known as the City of Presidents, and a quick stroll around downtown will show you why. We have life-sized statues of every president up to Barack Obama, with plans for Donald Trump to be added soon. Each statue shows the likeness of our nation’s presidents while also showcasing details from their time in office or facets of their personalities. See Visit Rapid City online for a map of the statues’ locations and a fun scavenger hunt, or you can find printed maps at locations around downtown.

The City of Presidents Sculpture project began in 2000. Each of the sculptures is privately funded.
