    I liked the daily twofer happy hour 2-7 pm for Crown, Morgan, Tito's and Jack drinks. They also offered weekday lunch specials ($7.99 for lasagna, sloppy Joes, hot beef, etc.). I noticed a nice, three-sided bar with TVs above, 12 beers on tap, a pool table, a golden tee game, a digital jukebox, a spacious seating area lined with more TVs on both sides of the bar, classic rock background music and a spacious patio area with TVs and two rollup garage doors. I found the service at the bar to be stellar - friendly, cheerful, helpful and efficient. I also saw a couple of entrees coming out of the kitchen and they looked delicious. Very nice!

    This is a sports bar with a lively crowd on most nights. They call themselves a Casino and to be clear, they have some video poker terminals, not a Casino that many expect. That aside, they have a decent bar food menu and although I've never eaten there, the food looks decent and patrons seem happy. Now the important part. This is a cool bar that is welcoming to business travellers like myself even though most of the people there seemed like locals. It's big enough that of you don't get a seat at the bar, there are plenty of high top tables and booths that you can enjoy a beer at. There seems to be a pool following with some kind of regular pool league but place was super busy for Wednesday. Several normal offering beers on tap along wIth some smaller brewery beers. Lots of TVs with most sporting events, even the Bruins game. The NFL team of choice appears to be the KC Chiefs. Clean bathrooms, friendly bartenders and some tasty complimentary popcorn add to the appeal. Tip #1 - Hidden under the lip of the bar are duplex electrical outlets for charging your phone. Tip #2 - sprinkle the complimentary popcorn with the seasoned salt provided. Only negative is the smoking lounge patio lets the smell of cigarette into the bar on occasion but hey, it's a bar.

    The place may not be much of a casino or a lounge, but it certainly has a few key things to keep everyone entertained.

Life simply kept getting busy, but eventually we made our way over to The Attic West on a Friday evening. Apparently, everyone else in Sioux Falls had the same idea. The place was absolutely packed and the wait was quite long. At one point, we honestly considered giving up and going elsewhere, but since this had been a gift and we'd heard many locals speak highly of the restaurant, we decided to stick it out. One thing we've definitely learned while living in the Midwest is that bar-and-grill style restaurants are deeply woven into the dining culture here. Sioux Falls has many places with this sort of atmosphere, and honestly, we've adapted fairly well to it even though it differs a lot from some of the larger-city dining scenes we were used to previously. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't quite work for us. We ordered steak, jambalaya, and buffalo wings. The steak, despite being ordered medium rare, came out drier than we would have liked and lacked much distinctive flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't memorable either. The jambalaya was probably the biggest disappointment of the evening. It was overwhelmingly salty to the point where it became difficult to really enjoy the dish underneath the seasoning. The buffalo wings were acceptable enough, but again, they also leaned dry. Service was understandably stretched because of how busy the restaurant was, though the staff themselves seemed to be working hard under the pressure. Overall, this simply wasn't quite our cup of tea in terms of either the food or the atmosphere. I can understand why it appeals to many locals looking for a lively Friday night gathering spot, but for us personally, it probably isn't somewhere we'd return to. A 2 out of 5 from us.

Especially in Sioux Falls) However it is one of the more slow bars I've ever seen for its size. (Maybe due to location, however they have a sister location downtown). But don't worry, plenty of servers and bartenders to make sure your drinks are made fresh and fast. Happy hour runs basically all day. Beer is cheap (Busch Light buckets in the can, is my favorite along with $3 well pour drinks), food is average but might be overpriced outside of happy hour. Tons of TVs they'll play a few channels on all 20 screens unless it's Sunday Night Football. I'm sure if you ask a manager to change it, they would. The "vibe" is early-2010s frat house meets casino garage -- neon aliens, with TouchTunes getting stuck but can use more coins to pick several songs to get one you like to play... on the wall about "F* your bad vibes" ...... ya. That might be the only decor that isn't family appropriate. There aren't many bad vibes here, though. It's a family style restaurant with even high tops and low. (no booths) A couple of nicee pool tables if you're into that! Regulars seem to have a great bond with the staff. Enjoyed watching the perfect harmony of everyone getting along. Service is great seeming from the happy casino regulars. Management is efficient!! Deffs need more information/ time spent with/ questions answered to give a more rounded review. With that being said, let me know what you liked/disliked. Maybe there's more in store for me to come back and try it again! Last notes: there are dozens of sports bars in town that aren't this slow on a weekday and don't feel like you're crashing someone's private party. (Seems like the perfect place to rent out for a family reunion) Local's definitely know they have enough staff hired to handle a full house. Also!!!!! If you're into donating to causes, at the time of writing this review you can donate $1 of every "Tito's Code Red" drink you order through the holidays.
