Husband and I popped-in looking for a night cap. We're from South Sioux and was staying the night…read morein Sioux Falls. It was a Sunday evening, so we weren't looking for much. Just a place to hang out for an hour or so. I'd categorize it as a 'dive bar.' I enjoyed the decor. It's full of street signs, construction equipment, and alcohol advertising. Had 1 pool table, a couple slots, and dartboards. I noticed an outdoor patio/smoking area. Bar was only maybe, 8 people long? 10 if you squished. We hung out at a table; the bar was shoulder-to-shoulder full. Bartender came over and waited on us. That was nice. I expected to go to the counter. She was very kind, quick, and attentive. Never caught her name but loved her blue hair! I could tell the rest of the bar was full of regulars and we felt a little out of place. But, it's a tiny bar on a Sunday night. We almost witnessed a fight! And a patron had to be cut off and he somehow didn't fall as he was leaving. I pray he didn't drive. More than 1 person complimented my husband's beard. Was a tad bit awkward. LoL He used the bathrooms and he said it was fine. Prices were good. I noticed they had a lot of specials and happy hours. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. Gave it 3 stars because I wasn't disappointed nor was I blown away. Neutral rating for a neutral experience. Beware of pot holes in the parking lot.

The bad: Once you get over the cool glasses you realize that you just paid 13 dollars for an absolutely packed glass of ice. GF Couldn't even get a sip out using a straw on the first pull. By the second pull, beverage was gone. Way overpriced for what you get which in essence is a tall glass of ice with a splash of booze. Sad.

As a west coaster, I thought we had the lock on cool tiki bars. I was pretty wrong. Hello Hi…read moretakes tiki up about 3 notches. I mean, the legit standards done very well, home versions of standards, some great concoctions of their own, the BEST design for your own atmosphere wants too. Booth? They have that. Cool bar? Yep. Hightop to people watch from? Got it. Corner stage area? Sure. Separate intimate room with cool tiki decor? That too. So, you can have cool tiki place (seen a few of them), you can have an on point cocktail game (tasted a few of them), and you might have good service (experienced that too). But all three in one place? Rare. All three as perfect as you can get? Super rare. I would have said only in CA, but, Sioux Falls has it in The Hello Hi. 100%, the best around.

At the Carpenter Bar, the lights are low, there is minimal seating, and it's easy to just slow down, sip on your drink, and enjoy your evening. If you're looking for a Busch light or a vodka Red Bull, this probably isn't your scene, but if you appreciate the finer things and attention to detail with your spirits, definitely try to get a table or a seat at the bar here. I will definitely go back. This Three-Quarter Nelson cocktail is essentially a whiskey sour with a little amaretto softening the spirit and adding such a delicious nutty element to the drink.

Hundreds of Hops Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 4, 2 of 5 for South Dakota…read more I'd go closer to 4.5 here, but it isn't an option. Somehow, we find ourselves forgetting what we thought about Severance Brewing until the next time we walk in. That's crazy to me because it's definitely my top pick for the Sioux Falls stops. There is plenty of natural light. The music is good. The ambiance clean & fresh without feeling sterile/ generic or uninviting. The staff know their products & the selections are solid. The cheeky brew based on the 1 star review shows the playful side, despite the pettiness. Perhaps, that's the key to seeing Severance into my memory. Of course, we purchased cooler beers this time... soon to be couch beers or camping beers.

5/5!!! Had a great quick drink out on the patio at Severance. I haven't been here in a few years (I…read morelive out of town) and it was just as good the second time around. I am gluten free and I'm so grateful they have GF options. I hope they aren't ran by the same line as gluten options but I didn't have a reaction. The service was great, had a little mix up with getting overcharged but he noticed and fixed it right away. We got to sit outside, enjoy the beautiful weather and heard music from the Levitt. Perfect time!

We were a little leery and skeptical but ended up believing absolutely satisfied and happy. We will definitely be back. The fish and chips was yummy, even the tartar sauce was great. The service was great from the bar. My husband had the wings and they were great, our adult children had their famous sloppy Joe and loved it, and without the menu right in front of me I think it was called like the Italian pork sandwich which had so many layers it was amazing. You can witness them coming out to put the fresh beer on tap into a frying pan where they are cooking the delicious pork and scrumptious herbs in a sauté. Excellent!!! The fries were fresh and hot and delicious being fried in an expensive and healthier oil. Our adult daughter is extremely picky and she just saved every bite and enjoyed it just like the rest of us that are extremely picky. This isn't just everyday food it's cooked from scratch, hand dipped fish, Quality ingredients and put together with thoughtfulness and deliciousness. We definitely will be back! The ambience was fun being in a bar where there was locals having a good time. A 50th birthday party in a band along with a party bus stopping in with a group of people everyone was happy and it was a wonderful evening. The manager and the other bartender just made the end of the evening a wonderful night. Thank you to THE BAR! Keep up the great work & amazing food.
