What a cool place! I've never been to a taphouse that has so many beers cider and wines to choose from. I was in heaven! They gave you this really cool wristband and all you have to do is tap it to whatever beer you wanna try and then you can pour as much as you want! They have upstairs and downstairs seating, board games, shuffleboard, darts, and TVs spread throughout if you want to catch the game. It's a great place to hang out! The pizza was sooo good! It's Detroit style with a crispy buttery crust. We got the Sizzlin' Sweet Pie which had pineapple, ricotta, bacon, and jalapeños. Delicious! Don't sleep on the fries though! Those things were cooked to perfection, crispy but fluffy on the inside and though they don't look like they are seasoned, they are seasoned perfectly! It was like magic - I don't know how they did it. I could not get enough of them! read more

Huge. Gigantic. Enormous tap list! Great service. Cold beer. And this was by far the BEST taco pizza I have had in years. I flashed back to the sheer joy of taco pizza in Bozeman, Montana in the late 1980's. But, this was an even tastier, more refined version. Garlic cheese blend, black olives, jalapeños, ground beef, tomato, onion, cheddar ... baked and topped with tortilla chips, lettuce, and salsa. It all came together in a south of the border pizza experience. So good, so enjoyable. read more

tl;dr this popular taproom combines a unique, self-pour draught format with standard and ambitious pizza options; stick with the Detroit pies, and avoid the traditional round pizza at all costs Across my National Parks travels, I've found bars and breweries to be the safest of bets for reasonable dining in the middle of nowhere. In Rapid City, one of the most highly rated options is Pour 54 Taphouse in the quaint downtown. Pour 54 is the only self-serve taphouse around, and it's the first I've ever visited. Briefly, every patron is given a wristband, which they press up to any draught sign to initiate a pour of their desired volume. Drinks are subsequently charged by the ounce. The opportunity to seamlessly try many local beers seemed like a reason enough to pay Pour 54 a visit; the signature Detroit-style pizzas were icing on the cake. Pour 54 doesn't particularly pop against the well-manicured brick buildings along Main St, but you can easily find it right across the street from the can't-miss Firehouse Brewing. Enter into the wide-open, industrial space. The brick and wood-slatted walls are minimally decorated. Sturdy wood-and-metal tables and chairs are organized close to the entrance, while the accent-lit line of draughts is pressed toward the back. The pressed tin ceilings are sky-high; you wouldn't guess that Pour 54 has a full third floor, equipped with a shuffleboard table, another limited draught wall, and a lounge room. Contemporary music plays lightly in the background. We arrived for an early weekend dinner, and plenty of tables were available. A staff member explained the self-pour draught format, and we placed our order for food. Sampling each and every interesting-sounding drink was a breeze; no need to commit to a whole pint. Across the countless varieties, my favorite was the tart B. Nektar Zombie Killer cherry mead. For food, I was most impressed by Pour 54's Detroit Style Pizza; of the size options, definitely opt for the small (6x6) pies, which have a higher proportion of addictively crispy, cheesy crust. My favorite variety was the Art Alley, a decadent riff on spinach and artichoke dip that never felt sloppy or heavy. I didn't mind the Main Street Detroit Style Pizza, although the overcooked pepperoni felt overpowered by the sweet red sauce, and the overall pie didn't feel greasy enough. In contrast to the Detroit pizzas, our Hand Toss round pie was a dud. We opted for the Sizzlin' Sweet Pie in this style, and the ingredients felt chaotic rather than cohesive, while the crust was only a half step above Domino's. Lastly, the Chopped Cucumber Caprese Board was wholly standard. Each ingredient felt like something that could be purchased at Trader Joe's, but the combination was easy to eat and share among the party. Service was helpful and attentive (folks were quick to bring carafes of water and bus dirty dishes). Beer got a tad pricey, but the food charges were reasonable (each pie was under $15). Nothing at Pour 54 will knock your socks off, but the taphouse exceeded my tempered expectations of South Dakota. Just be sure to stick with the Detroit pies, and nothing will be a true dud. read more

Stopped in to pick up my take out order, was impressed with the interior vibes. It definitely felt more upscale than I anticipated. Tried the Main Street pizza, thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and amount of toppings. The crust could've been cooked a little more but overall was a great experience. Highly recommend Pour 54 Taphouse. read more

Pour 54 Taphouse - Main Street - Beer Bar Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

So.. it's gone down hill quite a bit; we've written it off as a consideration when we meet friends. It pains me to state this because, at the beginning, it was the best pizza in town! They have the highest tap beer prices in the Black Hills and the "robotic taps" work poorly, you'll end up paying full price for a glass foam. Oh, they'll agree to remove the charge and have "someone look at the keg issues" but they never do. Just take a look at your receipt. I question how often they clean the tap lines. They're also stingy with pizza ingredients. I don't recall the price but I requested an additional topping of pepperoni, which meant one single slice of pepperoni per pizza slice. Those of you that read this and have experience working in a kitchen will understand when I say their ingredients taste "old." On the plus side, great building.. but don't go during the day because the close most of it off. read more

The pizza is fantastic! The beer is...not. Only pour a little bit of a beer and try it before pouring more. These guys have some truly disgusting beers on tap. And, rather than get rid of them, they're just waiting for unsuspecting folks to drink them. And, if you let them know about the terrible beer, they just tell you that they know. Poor business model. But, at least their detroit style pizza is good. That is their redeeming quality. I would go back for the pizza, but I wouldn't chance the beer again. read more

Great Beer, Delicious Pizza & Excellent Atmosphere I loved the self-serve beer setup--you pay by the ounce, making it easy to sample different varieties. Such a fun way to try new flavors! The White Owl Detroit-style pizza was excellent, and adding grape tomatoes was a great choice. We also had the Main Street with onions and ricotta, which was just as delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the space had plenty of tables, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. read more

This place is all about the beer! Let me start by explaining the mechanics of this place. You get a special bracelet allowing you to pour any of their dozens of beers on tap freely. You get charged by the 1/10th ounce, so feel free to sample before committing to a full glass. I suggest that even after "committing," stick with half glasses because you can enjoy even more beers. They serve tasty food that is, more appropriately, well suited to absorbing the beer you're drinking. The staff was also friendly and helpful. I imagine a large part of the friendliness was not having to lug drinks to their customers. This is a great concept and an excellent place for beer lovers to gather. I'm already looking for similar places here in DC where my beer-loving friends and I can gather. read more

Pour 54 Taphouse - Pour your own! - Beer Bar Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

It never gets old! We love coming to Pour 54--whether it's for the tasty pizza and delicious finger foods or the great selection of beers on tap. I really enjoy being able to pour my own drinks; it lets me sample a variety of options, and I always end up finding a new favorite. Definitely one of my go-to spots in town! read more

The Detroit style 6 x 6 pizzas are GENIOUS. Just right for one person or 2-3 to get and each share a piece. Best pizza in Rapid. Hands down. The dough is so light, it's like it's like a cloud, and the sauce and cheeses are wonderful. Amazing. I only go right when they open so my pizza is ready immediately (they can get busy later so go early). Be forwarned that the Detriot style is very filling. The first time I had the 6 x 6, I ate all of it because it was mind blowing, then I was so full I didn't feel well. Don't let the little size fool you. You're getting a lot of cheese and that luxurious bread/crust with the lovely frico cheese along the edges. Now, when I get it, I eat two pieces only and take two pieces home. read more

ALWAYS a good idea! Pizzas are the BEST in Rapid (So many different and delicious ones to choose from!) Excellent beer selection- and it's all Pour-it-Yourself! Exceptional Service every single time. read more

I love the layout of this place. They have a large variety of beer on tap. And if you like beer, this is the spot for you! There's 3 levels, an upstairs game room and nice clean bathrooms.

Great food, especially the Detroit style pizzas. 54 self serve taps... you can't go wrong. Staff friendly.

Okay so this was a unique experience for us, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. So I've been to breweries and taprooms where you can have a flight of smaller beers to try more of a variety but I've never seen self serve charge by the ounce machines. We got to try like 20+ types of beers; many of them local to south dekota and the Midwest, and we were charged only for the amount we poured! The service there was good, they explained to us how things worked in detail; they gave us wristbands and you use those bands to activate the machine to pour your drink, the whole time you see how many ounces is being added up, kind of like a gas pump meter as it's tallying up your total and you can stop at any time. Loved the raw straightforward taproom vibe with over 50 varieties of beers, wine and cider. I would definitely come back here again if I were to ever return to south dekota. read more

This place is awesome! Never been to a pour your own brew tap house before and the awesome lady at the register got all us checked in (scanned IDs, started a tab, gave us wristbands) and then took us on a mini tour. She showed us the tap wall, (including wine, seltzer and cider!) and how the system works. She also noted to grab fresh glasses each pour and where to put dirty ones. You can also pour your own water! The spot has 3 floors. The night we came they had Bingo on the 3rd floor- how fun! Don't sleep on the food either-- the Detroit style pizzas were fire. Loved the Black Tie Piggy and Sizzling Sweetie. The 10-75 was spicy, but not unbearable. Also really enjoyed the fried green beans and meatballs. Skip the wack fire brewery across the street and definitely come here! read more

A find in downtown RC. There are a bunch of tourist traps here and the Italian place gave us the sad smile and said sorry we are booked for a private party tonight. So off we went. Whoever was the gal at the front of the house deserves a raise! We walked in and she explained you get a bracelet to operate the tap to pour as much as you want of the beer, cider and wine. But, we asked, what about food? You order via an app. But what food do you have, we said. She said pizza. We paused. But, she said, it's really really great pizza!! So in we went. She sold us. The beer was an ok selection, would have expected more variety. The only Pilsner was lime flavored and vaguely smelled like a cleaning solution. A lot of flavored beers and not all that many classics but there was a red ale that was decent. Didn't really like the ciders and the wines were meh. So what did we like? The place has a chic industrial clean design which we loved. And the menu, although limited, was great with beer. Mini Detroit style pizza was awesome with that crispy burnt cheese edge. The meatballs were great and decent pretzels with dip although they could have salted the outside of the pretzels. Ordering was simple and service was fast and warm. Our server was really helpful and friendly. So a really nice casual dinner in a cool location with a warm and attentive staff. If they upped the beer game, I'd give them a 5 because this is a welcome change in this downtown dining scene. read more

This place is brilliant. You arrive show your id receive a bracelet and then can pour your own beer. There are at least 20 selections of beers and ciders. They have a few wines. They do have food but we were just having some delicious beer. I had an orange pineapple beer than one of the nice helpful employees recommended the strawberry lime. He said it would knock my socks off and it did. This place opened in July it's 3 floors and on the top floor is TVs darts and much more. What a great concept. read more

Pour 54 Taphouse - Caprese board - Beer Bar Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Great concept nice place why 3 stars luke warm beers and they limit you to 55 ounces (I understand why too many drunk drivers) Don't fill up your friend's beer or buy them one. I had to go wait in a line to have them approve more ounces of beer. If you have ever worked at a tap room you open the handle let the old warm beer out before you start filling the glass. You get charged for this. Really good pizzas and stuffed mushrooms. read more

Pour 54 is a unique and fun type of Taphouse. You are given a wristband that allows you to sample and pour any beer you would like from the various options. An ID and credit card are required at the host stand before choosing a seat. This is a nice place for meeting up with friends as the Taphouse has a drink for everyone, wines and ciders are options too. My date and I really enjoyed the many card and board games available to play. We also ordered the Pretzel Bites and Meatitarian Pizza - Detroit style. Both food options were yummy. read more

Pour 54 Taphouse - a row of beer taps - Beer Bar Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

A group of 9 of us went to Rapid City to work an event. So each night was constantly trying to figure out a way to find a place ahead of time. It was a larger event, so everyone was out and about trying to eat at the same time. We were actually waiting way longer than said for a table across the street. We saw this place and decided to go have a beer while waiting. As soon as we walked in, we were really impressed. 3 floors full of tables, beers, wine, seltzers, etc. We were greeted very kindly and they smoothly explained how everything worked. It was so easy and we found a table for all of us upstairs immediately. We ended up staying here and eating too. And wow, were we all just thrilled at how great the food was. There aren't many options, but that was ok because it was so good. The pizza was super legit. Everything was, honestly. I was just loving how easy it was to order and pay from your phone too. It was literally within 20 minutes of ordering that we got all of our food. This place is amazing, and I wish we had one like it in Vegas. read more

What an awesome experience!! I've never seen anything like this. Its a self serve taphouse. You're charged be ounce, and you can try as many as you like, with such a variety. Mainly local beers, but some national ones. They staff was very helpful, being patient and informative. They were so kind. And the food was great too. I got a little pizza with Greek toppings, and it was so flavorful. I'd highly recommend and would definitely go back. read more

Food, service, and beer selection was outstanding! Great for date nights, parties, or a chill kickback!

The idea of pouring my own beer was awesome. Just like being at work but better They had such an amazing selection and they were great. The place is beautiful and the staff was helpful and friendly. We only had a snack but these Parmesan fries were to die for. read more

We really enjoyed this place. It had a very cozy, homey feel, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Love the idea of trying a bunch of beers, plus the food was good! The Detroit style pizza was pretty tasty. 12/10 recommend, even just for drinks. read more

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. We were able to sample a variety of beers, ciders and wines. We would definitely go back again.

Believe it or not, here is too much self service. :) The beer and wine I get because that's the point. But from finding a table to even getting your own water, or needing a napkin you're on your own. Waitstaff (if you can find them) should feel guilty for asking for a tip there so much self service here. There are 3 sets of stairs and I didn't see an elevator so if you need help with that check on it before you come in. The day I was in the wifi was down and no one was concerned about it. But in a place where all of you services like the menu and payment are done on a phone that should be a priority. Plus it's on the website. Food was great. It's a nice place to socialize. Though it was very noisy. The really high ceilings allow sound to travel. Good mix of ages. If you are into masks for COVID safety ON ONE is masked, and some of the clientele "know their rights." It would be nice to have sanitizer nearby the beer and wine spigots since there is so much self service. read more

Love this place! Great staff and atmosphere! The pizza and beer are amazing! I would highly recommend to anyone!

I loved every minute at this place. My fiance and I came here for new years eve and we were blown away by the great atmosphere and uniqueness of it. We had an amazing time and next time we visit Rapid City, we will come here first! read more

We rarely go out but had friends in town visiting us so we tried this place after a recommendation by a stranger. We absolutely had a blast! We lucked out and got the couches on the 2nd floor. It was so much fun trying different beers and having conversations about them when we'd all go back to the spot with different beers. We hadn't eaten long before but after about 2 hours we ate again because of the smells and seeing the food below us. I wish we would have tried the pretzels but we will next time for sure! The staff was very nice. They didn't give us any problems when one of the group had to bring their service dog in. One staff person brought her a dish of water. So sweet. Little things like that can make a huge difference. We'll be back for sure and probably very soon. The pizzas are better than an actual pizza place. Actually they were twice as good as they looked when we were seeing them go by all night. This place is genius. It's clean, has amazing food, has 3 levels that each have their own "personality", and they have the serve yourself beer. It's just all good. What a memorable night out! Maybe this will make us go out more often! read more

I stopped in here during the bike pub crawl, it is fantastic, my son is home on leave and we will be here tonight!
