eat & drink

From mouthwatering steaks and award-winning pizza to cozy coffee shops and signature cocktails, our region has the dining and nightlife experiences you’ll keep coming back for. dining

Whether it’s dining amidst walls packed with South Dakota antiques, catching a game and a mouthwatering burger at a local sports bar, or dining in an igloo when it’s below freezing out, we have unforgettable experiences to go with your delicious food. If you’re near Falls Park, we recommend grabbing a bite at the Falls Overlook Cafe The historic building overlooking the falls is now home to a bright cafe with tasty food and yummy Stensland Family Farms ice cream.

Nightlife

Rooftop bars, dance clubs, cigar bars, taprooms, and more can all be found close to each other in the Downtown Sioux Falls area. Sometimes, we prefer to hit the country bar scene instead. Head to any of our rural communities and ask where the best bar is. Get to know the friendly faces around you over a glass of red beer and maybe even a little karaoke.

Birdwatching

Eastern South Dakota is a stopping place for millions of birds following the Central and Mississippi migratory flyways. The variety of habitats this area offers (woodlands, wetlands, rivers, and grasslands) is the perfect environment for over 300 species. We recommend starting with Union Grove State Park or Newton Hills State Park for some of the best birdwatching opportunities.
