SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Grab your grocery bags and your finest St. Patrick’s Day costume—there’s a new contender in the Sioux Falls food scene and it’s not just another run-of-the-mill chain!
Dakota Butcher: Meat Me Here!
Hold onto your spatulas! Dakota Butcher, a family-owned slaughterhouse turned grocer with the ambition of a toddler on an espresso binge, is stomping into Sioux Falls. Yes, they’re about to unleash 8,000 square feet of meat and maybe a few vegetables at The Bridges at 57th. One can only hope the veggies get their moment in the spotlight!
These meat moguls hailing from Watertown have spread their tentacles across South Dakota like a particularly hungry octopus—only instead of seafood, they offer a plethora of meats, handmade pizzas, take-home meals, and catering services—as if one delicious option wasn’t enough. Their grand opening is tentatively set for mid-June or early July, just in time for all the summer BBQs that will inevitably happen because, apparently, it’s illegal not to.
Shenanigans: A St. Patrick’s Day Hit
As if the culinary cosmos wasn’t already aligning, we have the grand opening of Shenanigans downtown, which is expanding its empire, proving once again that sports bars are perhaps the cockroaches of the food and beverage world—always bouncing back no matter what! After a successful run on the west side, they’re setting up shop at the Cascade on North Phillips Avenue.
What’s that you say? Their menu will look suspiciously similar to the original? Shocking! And just in time for the St. Patrick’s Day festivities, they’ll roll out a shuttle service bridging the gap between downtown revelry and west side celebrations. Because who needs to walk when you can drink and ride in style?
East-side Bar Developments: Because Why Not?
Now, let’s sashay over to the east side where the bar scene is experiencing a renaissance! The former Alibi is resurrecting itself, now rebranded as The Bar. It’s a dive bar, so you know they’re not trying too hard—instead, they’ve returned to their roots, serving a limited food menu alongside beverages. Because nothing screams “nostalgia” like slightly greasy nachos and disheveled bar stools from the early 2000s!
But wait, there’s more alcohol-related news! WoodGrain Brewing Co. is sprouting a second location in the former Obscure off Arrowhead Parkway. Renovations are on the to-do list, as the space currently resembles a scene from a horror movie. Keep an eye out for this opening sometime in late spring or early summer. If you’re counting on craft beer to save your social life, you might want to invest in a calendar!
