One of the best drinks I’ve ever had! Hands down, please order the Amber Ambrosia if you have a sweet tooth like me! It was so good I ordered 3 in a row! I could probably drink 7 more of it. Decadent! Their other drinks were also yummy! The bartenders were nice. Our bartender Travis was excellent. We sat at the bar, we had a great conversation with him and the other lady bartender. Gave us great recommendations on where to eat and where to go for a good time in Rapid City. The only disappointment was that I made the reservation under the impression that they would have dinner/food. I wasn’t inform through text that it would only be for craft drinks. We came in hangry hehe. The bartenders were nice enough to order us food upstairs from Murphy’s. (Dont order the dry rub wings unless you want to burn your throat lol literally)
Overall had a fantastic time, glad we found it on a blog last minute and would come back when we decide to visit Rapid City in the future!

Great speakeasy with an authentic 20s feel that focuses on craft cocktails. Located in the basement of Murphy’s. You’ll need to take the elevator down to get there. On weekends they require a password.
We went for the comedy open mic on a Thursday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays it’s not too crowded and you can do a walk in. Weekends require reservations.
I did the 3 course cocktail option where your bartender chooses what to make for $33. It was fun to try new things, but only one of the cocktails was perfect to my liking.
We met the executive chef and ordered the bison burger of the moment and it was the best burger I’ve had in a long time!!! The man knows what he is doing! Creative and delicious menu items.

Blind Lion is one of my favorite places to take out of town friends. The Atmosphere is one of kind and unparalleled in the whole area. The bartenders bent over backwards to give us the expiernce we’d never forget including working hard on recreating a drink from 5 Years ago!

What a cool location! As you can see in my photo, the presentation was terrible for the most expensive menu item (southern fried quail). But it tasted great and the other food we ordered looked much better. Our server was decent, but put the wrong order in for someone I was dining with and made no offer for any compensation.
The worst part of the visit was an unexpected open mic comedy night that started around 8pm. Our server could clearly see we were there to catch up with friends and made no suggestion that our location near the microphone wouldn’t be good for chatting. The first “comedian”, whose first attempt at comedy was to make fun of my friend dining with me relentlessly, didn’t improve through the remainder of his time at the mic.
This place was an awkward combination of higher end [priced] dining and poorly timed comedy bar. Had we seen it was open mic comedy night on their Facebook page (where they relentlessly advertise their burlesque night), we’d have at minimum chosen a different evening to visit.

Wow this place is amazing. Unbelievable service and craft cocktails. They can go off the menu or create custom just for you. Wow and unbelievable. You should be there

Great handcrafted cocktail lounge! Food is amazing. Elegant glassware, especially the engraved smoking barrel glasses. Will accept any and all challenges. Also, Zach at the bar is quite the hottie.

I loved the ambiance that makes you feel like you are in the 1920s. The bartenders were excellent, and I loved my Kentucky Mule! I highly recommended visiting if you are in town!
