As a west coaster, I thought we had the lock on cool tiki bars. I was pretty wrong. Hello Hi takes 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. read more

An honest group of bartenders! My husband and I came in to celebrate and we were pretty promptly met by a bartender who took our order. We had multiple other bartenders stop by and ask if we had ordered yet. Within 10 minutes, the original bartender came over and let us know about his mistake and gave us our first drinks with a discount. If I love anything, it's a service worker who can own up for their mistake! We made sure to order another beverage to leave a fabulous tip. The Hello Hi is a cute spot for cocktails and I hope to be back many times! read more

This bar is like a speakeasy. We entered a pizza togo restaurant, they sell by the slice. If you go to the left, it's a tiki lounge area. Through another door is the bar. Dark and intimate setting. We ordered some drinks at the bar right as they shouted last call. The bartenders made sure to take our drink orders before cleaning up. I also managed to get a couple slices of pizza before they closed as well. Would definitely recommend. read more

Watched a bartender take multiple shots on the job While standing at the bar for I kid you not 40 minutes. With a friend as well. And the bartenders. All 3 of them. Kept serving the same people over and over. worst bartending experience in my life. HOWEVER. The aesthetic is pretty nice. Theres cool vintage movies, music videos, and cartoons playing on the TVs and lots of little details everywhere. however I wouldn't have noticed them if I wasn't waiting at the bar for 40 minutes... with my phone out trying to read the drink menu because it's so dark, while yelling at my friend to communicate because the music is quite loud. this isn't the worst bar I've seen but the service was extremely disappointing compared to the visual appeal. read more

On a Sunday evening before a concert, this place was open! We just wanted a bite and a couple of cocktails. The cocktail menu was very tropical so if you're looking for a good bartender curated mixed drink served in the appropriate glassware with garnish, this is the place. Good beer selection as well. The atmosphere was macabre nautical with good alternative rock music. Far removed from boot-scooting and sports bar TVs. Food was available at the back of the house pizza joint called Pizza Cheeks. A good NY style thin crust fold it in half slice. Definitely will go back on a concert or show night. read more

Definitely a cool atmosphere, outside and in. Out on the street, if you're there during the Art Walk, you can sit right next to some amazing art. I sat next to a St. Francis state while I enjoyed my Mojito, which was excellent. Inside, you've got a quirky, hipster tiki-bar feel. The service was good too. Worth checking out if you wanna chill somewhere, even in the afternoon. read more

We have been to a lot of tiki bars, and when we heard there was a new one in my husband's hometown of Sioux Falls, we had to check it out on our trip. To say it blew away our expectations would be an understatement. This place is one of the most stunning and unique bars we have ever been to. The decor is the most perfect blend of modern, mid century pop and classic tiki and I can't do it all justice with my lack of photography skills. The drink menu is simple, with a few house specialties and we enjoyed them all. Sorry, I'm not the best drink reviewer, especially because I'm still enjoying their effects- just tell the bartender what you usually like and ask for recommendations. Come see this place, when you're in Sioux Falls, it is truly a tiki gem. read more

I think the best way to describe The Hello Hi would be a melting pot for all walks of life. Whether you're interested in having a classic cocktail while chasing romance or if you simply want to live your best life drinking out of a peacock and talking to your local snowmobile enthusiast. You can find whatever you want in this island vibe South Dakota oasis. The staff was a mixed bag, but I was lucky enough to sit in front of a very personable and caring shiny head bartender who provided a fantastic experience. Thanks for the good times!

A unique and interesting addition to downtown Sioux Falls! We were there on a Friday evening, and it was busy, but we were able to order at the bar and find a booth to sit. The tropical environment and drinks is so different for Sioux Falls, and there are unique drink options along with that. I had the Painkiller, which was so delicious (which might be dangerous).

Was visiting for work and this bar was down the street from my hotel. I heard from a local that their back room pizza was good so I walked over for dinner and a couple of drinks one night. This place was awesome. I'm not sure why their reviews are so low because I had an excellent experience. First of all the atmosphere was a really cool tiki bar vibe. I could have been in any trendy neighborhood in a major city with how on point the decor and feel was, even walking in as a lone female. The bartenders were friendly and attentive and even made me an obscure off menu cocktail that I love and it was perfect. I did order some pizza from the back. Can't believe how affordable it is. Large slices of delicious pizza that had some tried and true standby flavors like pepperoni but had a veggie option and a nightly special. I had a slice of the veggie and a slice of the special that night. I topped it off with an on menu cocktail, the Painkiller. This variation was on the rocks and made the perfect dessert. Cocktail prices were on par for what I received and I was impressed with the quality. Overall I will be back when I'm in town and I'll be sure to spread the word to my traveling colleagues. Perfect spot to chill and you can go decked out in your cutest outfit or show up in jeans and a t-shirt and fit right in. read more

Amazing drinks, but when asked about them we got a snarky remark to make us feel stupid. We enjoy going to many different bars and have had many different kinds of drinks. But when we asked about a drink additive we were literally told that's how they are always made! We travel extensively and generally drink the same things. And having something new added was a cool and very tasty thing, we wanted to learn more. But there was no talking to this young bartender, who made an amazing drink but definitely would never get out service again! read more

The Hello Hi just opened and during our Covid-induced no travel year we had to check it out. Hubby tried a margarita, flavorful but small for the price. I enjoyed my Schilling passport cider. You can taste both the passion fruit and the pineapple in it . We loved the fun and funky decor of the bar, made us reminisce about La Mariana Sailing Club outside Honolulu. There are lots of well-spaced and unique seating areas. And access to Pizza Cheeks makes it even better! read more

Was excited to check this place out. The interior is very cool and the pizza was amazing. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We had just came from Woodgrain. So the two people that ordered first happened to order cokes. Apparently this is a faux pas as the server rudely said "let me guess, you want a Sprite". I said no I am having a cocktail. We felt we weren't "cool" enough to be taking up space in this place. Our server never even came back to our table. Perhaps they are only welcoming to the hipster crowd. We might be back to pick up a pizza to go, but nothing more. We frequent downtown establishments often and there are many that welcome our business. read more

The music was very enjoyable and the food was delicious. We sampled a variety of items including bruschetta, pizza (the one with hot honey was amazing but definitely had some kick!), sea scallop risotto and the rigatoni. Everything was great! The only downside is the cocktails are quite pricey so sharing a bottle of wine is the way to go instead. Definitely check it out!

Crawford's Bar & Grill

Had such a fun time at Crawford's with friends and family. The atmosphere is great and the…read morebartenders were great. We ordered the Epiphany, which comes with a Buzz Ball flower, also known as an Electric Daisy. You take a drink, then chew the flower bud and let it sit for a bit before swallowing. When you take another drink, your mouth feels electric. It's like a fun, adult Pop Rocks sensation. If you want a drink that's an experience, order the Epiphany. Trust me. Definitely recommend for a fun night out.

Between the lighting, decor, and overall ambiance, it definitely has that cozy upscale vibe that works especially well for an evening out in DTSF. The service throughout our visit was excellent. Our staff was attentive, friendly, and paced the meal nicely without making us feel rushed. As for the food, the experience was a little mixed for my husband and me. We started with the charcuterie board, which offered a nice variety overall, but several of the components leaned a bit too dry and lacked flavor. I understand that charcuterie naturally includes cured and firmer textures, but this particular board felt somewhat restrained and not especially imaginative compared to others we have enjoyed elsewhere. The dinner salad was also just okay. The vegetables did not seem nearly as fresh and vibrant as salads we have had at several other restaurants around Sioux Falls recently. One standout for us, however, was the tomato soup. Rich, velvety, comforting, and full of deep roasted tomato flavor, it was honestly one of the more memorable parts of the evening and exactly the kind of dish that fits perfectly with the restaurant's cozy atmosphere. Both steaks were cooked properly and arrived at the correct temperature, which we appreciated. That said, we both felt the seasoning and flavor development could have been stronger. The meat itself was tender enough, but it lacked the deeper savory richness and marinated character that really makes a steak memorable. Thankfully, dessert ended the evening on a much stronger note and was genuinely enjoyable. Overall, we did enjoy the evening, particularly the ambiance and service, which were probably the highlights for us. While the food itself did not completely wow us across the board, Crawford's still offers a pleasant and relaxing downtown dining experience that many people would likely enjoy.

Shrimp scampi was wonderful!
