Independent Ale House

A local bar with delicious food and amazing friendly staff. Their main menu consist of lots of different beers and pizza that are flatbread style. I'm not a fan of beer but the staff found a beer that I loved it! Had a amazing time there. As a first time visitor in Rapid City I would highly recommend this place! Nice atmosphere, two levels and affordable prices.

I’ve come to this place many times over the years. Typically good service and the pizza is always fantastic. The last couple times that I have gone though, I’ve come with a group of 8 and a group of about 20 and did not feel welcome. I won’t single out every employee because some were very accommodating, but there have been a couple male staff members that are straight up rude and don’t want larger groups there. I’m not a big believer in docking reviews a bunch for a couple bad experiences out of very many, but I think it’s a fair warning to people who want to come with a larger group, be forewarned. Great pizza and beer though, I’ll still go back, just never with a group of more than 4.

The prices, quality, food, service, and beer selection here are 10/10 all day every day! Their featured pizzas are always fun and their salads are always so fresh! The atmosphere is that of a low key, cozy bar - sometimes it can get a little loud, but overall it’s pretty calm and comfortable. Seating can be a bit tricky to find on occasion, but that’s because the place rocks and people want to be there! Lastly, if you ever have an issue, it’s a cake walk to communicate it to staff kindly and it’ll be taken care of in no time! I know some businesses it can be intimidating or uncomfortable to bring up a concern, but that’s not the case here. This is a local gem and I am so grateful to have it around!
