This is one of the best spots downtown for coffee, lunch, and brunch!
Maribella was one of the first places we went to dinner when Brian first visited South Dakota. They have top-notch Italian food, a great wine and cocktail menu, and arguably the best espresso martini in Sioux Falls! It has both a wine bar and a jazz bar located right next door, as well as a sister restaurant, R Wine Bar, a few blocks away (where we had our surprise engagement party).
Located in the lobby of Hotel on Phillips, The Treasury specializes in cocktails but has a really great food menu as well. Its sister bars, Highball and Carpenter Bar, are nearby and also highly recommended!
Located right next to the lobby of The Catlin, CRAVE is another excellent choice for food and drink, especially if you're looking for sushi. Be sure to check out their patio!
Monk's has a huge rotating selection of beers and ciders on tap, good apps, and amazing pizza. We've stopped for a beer (or a few) many times when we've been in SD together. They do usually carry local brews, but be sure to check out Fernson, Remedy, Severance, or Woodgrain nearby if you'd like to visit a flagship local brewery!
A classic Irish pub! They have a casual vibe and offer a large menu, including a wide variety of draught Irish beers. If you're looking for recs, Brian likes a Black and Tan — Miranda prefers a Snakebite.
