    Art Alley Detroit Style Pizza
    Austin B.

    tl;dr this popular taproom combines a unique, self-pour draught format with standard and ambitious pizza options; stick with the Detroit pies, and avoid the traditional round pizza at all costs Across my National Parks travels, I've found bars and breweries to be the safest of bets for reasonable dining in the middle of nowhere. In Rapid City, one of the most highly rated options is Pour 54 Taphouse in the quaint downtown. Pour 54 is the only self-serve taphouse around, and it's the first I've ever visited. Briefly, every patron is given a wristband, which they press up to any draught sign to initiate a pour of their desired volume. Drinks are subsequently charged by the ounce. The opportunity to seamlessly try many local beers seemed like a reason enough to pay Pour 54 a visit; the signature Detroit-style pizzas were icing on the cake. Pour 54 doesn't particularly pop against the well-manicured brick buildings along Main St, but you can easily find it right across the street from the can't-miss Firehouse Brewing. Enter into the wide-open, industrial space. The brick and wood-slatted walls are minimally decorated. Sturdy wood-and-metal tables and chairs are organized close to the entrance, while the accent-lit line of draughts is pressed toward the back. The pressed tin ceilings are sky-high; you wouldn't guess that Pour 54 has a full third floor, equipped with a shuffleboard table, another limited draught wall, and a lounge room. Contemporary music plays lightly in the background. We arrived for an early weekend dinner, and plenty of tables were available. A staff member explained the self-pour draught format, and we placed our order for food. Sampling each and every interesting-sounding drink was a breeze; no need to commit to a whole pint. Across the countless varieties, my favorite was the tart B. Nektar Zombie Killer cherry mead. For food, I was most impressed by Pour 54's Detroit Style Pizza; of the size options, definitely opt for the small (6x6) pies, which have a higher proportion of addictively crispy, cheesy crust. My favorite variety was the Art Alley, a decadent riff on spinach and artichoke dip that never felt sloppy or heavy. I didn't mind the Main Street Detroit Style Pizza, although the overcooked pepperoni felt overpowered by the sweet red sauce, and the overall pie didn't feel greasy enough. In contrast to the Detroit pizzas, our Hand Toss round pie was a dud. We opted for the Sizzlin' Sweet Pie in this style, and the ingredients felt chaotic rather than cohesive, while the crust was only a half step above Domino's. Lastly, the Chopped Cucumber Caprese Board was wholly standard. Each ingredient felt like something that could be purchased at Trader Joe's, but the combination was easy to eat and share among the party. Service was helpful and attentive (folks were quick to bring carafes of water and bus dirty dishes). Beer got a tad pricey, but the food charges were reasonable (each pie was under $15). Nothing at Pour 54 will knock your socks off, but the taphouse exceeded my tempered expectations of South Dakota. Just be sure to stick with the Detroit pies, and nothing will be a true dud.

    Stopped in to pick up my take out order, was impressed with the interior vibes. It definitely felt more upscale than I anticipated. Tried the Main Street pizza, thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and amount of toppings. The crust could've been cooked a little more but overall was a great experience. Highly recommend Pour 54 Taphouse.

    Great Beer, Delicious Pizza & Excellent Atmosphere I loved the self-serve beer setup--you pay by the ounce, making it easy to sample different varieties. Such a fun way to try new flavors! The White Owl Detroit-style pizza was excellent, and adding grape tomatoes was a great choice. We also had the Main Street with onions and ricotta, which was just as delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the space had plenty of tables, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

    Pour your own!

    This place is all about the beer! Let me start by explaining the mechanics of this place. You get a special bracelet allowing you to pour any of their dozens of beers on tap freely. You get charged by the 1/10th ounce, so feel free to sample before committing to a full glass. I suggest that even after "committing," stick with half glasses because you can enjoy even more beers. They serve tasty food that is, more appropriately, well suited to absorbing the beer you're drinking. The staff was also friendly and helpful. I imagine a large part of the friendliness was not having to lug drinks to their customers. This is a great concept and an excellent place for beer lovers to gather. I'm already looking for similar places here in DC where my beer-loving friends and I can gather.

    I love the layout of this place. They have a large variety of beer on tap. And if you like beer, this is the spot for you! There's 3 levels, an upstairs game room and nice clean bathrooms. GET THE PIZZA!! It's delicious!! Service was fast too. Great happy hour prices and just a nice, chill vibe!

    Black Tie Piggy
    Kate S.

    This place is awesome! Never been to a pour your own brew tap house before and the awesome lady at the register got all us checked in (scanned IDs, started a tab, gave us wristbands) and then took us on a mini tour. She showed us the tap wall, (including wine, seltzer and cider!) and how the system works. She also noted to grab fresh glasses each pour and where to put dirty ones. You can also pour your own water! The spot has 3 floors. The night we came they had Bingo on the 3rd floor- how fun! Don't sleep on the food either-- the Detroit style pizzas were fire. Loved the Black Tie Piggy and Sizzling Sweetie. The 10-75 was spicy, but not unbearable. Also really enjoyed the fried green beans and meatballs. Skip the wack fire brewery across the street and definitely come here!

    Meatballs were almost gone by the time I took this because they were so good!

    A find in downtown RC. There are a bunch of tourist traps here and the Italian place gave us the sad smile and said sorry we are booked for a private party tonight. So off we went. Whoever was the gal at the front of the house deserves a raise! We walked in and she explained you get a bracelet to operate the tap to pour as much as you want of the beer, cider and wine. But, we asked, what about food? You order via an app. But what food do you have, we said. She said pizza. We paused. But, she said, it's really really great pizza!! So in we went. She sold us. The beer was an ok selection, would have expected more variety. The only Pilsner was lime flavored and vaguely smelled like a cleaning solution. A lot of flavored beers and not all that many classics but there was a red ale that was decent. Didn't really like the ciders and the wines were meh. So what did we like? The place has a chic industrial clean design which we loved. And the menu, although limited, was great with beer. Mini Detroit style pizza was awesome with that crispy burnt cheese edge. The meatballs were great and decent pretzels with dip although they could have salted the outside of the pretzels. Ordering was simple and service was fast and warm. Our server was really helpful and friendly. So a really nice casual dinner in a cool location with a warm and attentive staff. If they upped the beer game, I'd give them a 5 because this is a welcome change in this downtown dining scene.

    My favorite

    This place is brilliant. You arrive show your id receive a bracelet and then can pour your own beer. There are at least 20 selections of beers and ciders. They have a few wines. They do have food but we were just having some delicious beer. I had an orange pineapple beer than one of the nice helpful employees recommended the strawberry lime. He said it would knock my socks off and it did. This place opened in July it's 3 floors and on the top floor is TVs darts and much more. What a great concept.

    Caprese board

    Food was good, but bring extra ketchup. They nickle and dime you for condiments. 54 beers but 30 of them are fruity. Prices are right I will say

    The good news? They are open longer hours than many of their downtown Rapid City peers. The bad…read morenews? The food is pretty mediocre and they are understaffed. We arrived around 7:30. (Hey, Yelp! This part of SD is in MST, not Central!!!) The hostess said we could site outside by the fireplace but that there was only one waitress for that area. Sadly, the other restaurants in the area were either full or closed on that Wednesday, so we took our chances. Service was slow. The waitress was very nice but overwhelmed. They have a kids menu, which is nice. They have a decent beer list. Lots of local options. I had an okay sour beer from the Sturgis area. The kids loved being able to have frozen mocktails. I tried their reuben. They claimed it's Rapid City's best, but if that's it's best, don't order a reuben in Rapid City. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. Just bland. Not enough sauerkraut. The thousand island dressing (served on the side by default) was pretty good but salty. I had a side of broccoli, which I thought was a nice option, but it was bitter and undercooked. My husband had the pork schnitzel meal, which he thought was okay. He liked being able to order mashed potatoes as an option. Thankfully, we sat by the TV, and there was a dog show going on. Seeing all those exotic purebred dogs kept my family distracted while we waited for the food.

In fact, we ended up here by accident since the place we originally wanted to check out was apparently closed on Mondays. When the "Cheeseballs" came, more like large cheese dice, and I had my first bite, well, let my pictures say all that's needed. It was TERRIFIC. I don't know what they're doing to the batter, but it was lovely, and the cheese? I have no idea what kind it was, but it was amazing. In fact, because the cheese cubes were so good, I even got a smash burger. The bun was a potato bun, very much appreciated, and the meat had the perfect Maillard Reaction, crispy, wonderfulness. I just HOPE that they can keep the quality level HIGH, as Rapid City restaurants seem to go out of business pretty fast. If you're the owner reading this, please, please, please keep the quality high. If you're a customer, it might help if you go in middle of the afternoon. We were the only customers there, so I think we got the cream of the crop experience. When they're slammed, maybe it is a different story.
