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.

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.

The Hello Hi is a cute spot for cocktails and I hope to be back many times!

Went to a wedding here this past weekend. The cocktail hour was in the portion with a stage and…read morebar, and then moved to the other side where tables were set up. The ambiance was pretty cool and the appetizers of stuffed peppers, chicken skewers and beef meatballs weren't bad. The table settings for the dinner itself were great. They had candles and branches set in vases, with flowers for the wedding party tables. The dance floor was pretty small but luckily it was a small wedding. There's space for a photo booth if you decide to have one against the back wall leading to the bathrooms. The catered food was delicious, only the green beans were a bit salty. Cons: Because it's a shared venue you could occasionally hear the music from the club side of the venue. The bathrooms were also shared which prevented the usual bathroom necessities you find during weddings. There was no coat check, only rolling hangers which I periodically checked on since it was closer to the shared doorway. And the structure of the building meant there were pillars blocking some folks during speeches. Overall this was a solid venue to have a wedding, and they did a really good job setting up tables, and with the food.

We traveled from Wisconsin to catch the Struts at the District. The venue is conveniently situated…read morewithin a one block walk of two nearby hotels. A bonus when you can walk to/from a show. If you need to kill time there's also a major mall across the parking lot. The District is attached to a restaurant (Roam). The restaurant has modern decor and is a fun environment. I wouldn't sing praises for the food, but it's a solid option when catching a show. The District is basically a mid size open box building with a stage at the front. We were on the rail so we could see perfectly. I have no complaint about acoustics within the building. There's a "U" shaped balcony above the concert floor. If you're on the balcony rail you would be able to see the show with no difficulty at all. My guess is the venue comfortable capacity is about 1,000 people. We only had water during our show, but I was incredibly impressed that a bottle of water only cost $2. I've been to similar venues in Milwaukee and Chicago and generally pay upwards of $5 just for a water. All in all The District is a nice midsize event venue Sioux Falls should be proud to call their own.

I made a reservation online a little over three hours before we wanted to dine. My requests were 4…read moreadults and 1 high chair and preferably somewhere quiet as we had elderly guests who can't hear well. We arrived for our reservation and were seated at a table that wouldn't allow a high chair by restaurant rules. We were moved to a much smaller table that couldn't accommodate the 5 of us. The table was also located directly under a very loud speaker and a television. When asked if this table was ok, we stated our concerns that the table was very small and that our family couldn't hear each other due to the speaker. The hostess said it was all they could do. We decided to give it a chance as it was our first time here. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the chicken honey almond penne. Husband says the pulled pork itself was good but the onion rings inside the sandwich were stale making the sandwich feel past expiration. My penne was completely over cooked to the point where the chicken was more of a jerky consistency and the pasta was disintegrating if you tried to use your fork to collect it. Our other guests enjoyed the steak stating it was ok. From the start with our requests for accommodation being ignored to finish with possibly the worst dishes I've ever overpaid for, this experience was one I never would wish on anybody.

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.
