Nice spot, friendly staff and plenty of parking. Solid beer selection and GREAT NA options.

I'd say it's between a 4-4.5. This was the first brewery we visited while in town. It was a Friday late afternoon and not too busy. The space is really nice and open. We sat at the bar stools by the open window. Beers were pretty good - didn't knock my socks off but all pretty easy drinking. I had a sour, the kolsch, a wheat ale, and a lager. Service was friendly and I would definitely stop in again when I was in town!

First time stopping here while in town on business. Modern feel to the tasting room. Lots of window glass and spacious area. Street parking was fine for the Wednesday night I visited. Bartender was knowledgeable on the beers and said he home brewed one of the offerings. Good guy and he spoke highly of his other breweries in town which is a cool thing about the brewer culture. Good selection of IPAs that were all decent. Located in downtown walking distance from the Falls. Lots of breweries in vicinity so a good place for a brewery crawl. Beers are good but I've had better. No complaints though. Check them out. It was dog friendly the night I was there.

Winning!

I got the cider and was not disappointed. I also kicked some butt on the shuffleboard in this place, while able to have the outdoor breeze come thru the garage door type opening in the front no food options here, but the drinks are worth trying.

I had never been here so I stopped by when I was in town from Florida. It is on Philips Avenue close to the Falls Park. They have a nice location with seating inside and out. A nice selection of beers. I try the Monster Cookie on Nitro and the Coconut Tan Lines - both were good.

What a great Brewery! The beer is great and location even better. You order your beer at the bar and then go to your table we sat outside to enjoy the amazing summer weather. Met lots of great people and had a great time drinking local beer.

This place is a gem! Great atmosphere, great beer selection and the bartenders are really friendly and knowledgeable. This place would be awesome in the summer with the large garage doors, patio and view of the Falls.

JL Beers - Burger with cheese and special sauce

JL Beers

JL Beers was so delicious! It was recommended to me by a long time local! Small divey place nothing…read morefancy about it but with about 30 beers on tap and cooked to order burgers and fries! Chicken sandwiches are also available. I got a burger with cheese, onions, and special sauce, a big order of sea salt fries (choose your seasoning) and 2 craft beers for $24!! The bar has about 20 seats and there's several tables for table service. Not great for a big party, but perfect for a quick, but hot delicious lunch or dinner! The bartenders were attentive and kind and I will definitely be back! I'm sad I didn't get to try the root beer float with on tap root beer for less than $5! I'll just have to go back!

One Sunday afternoon my husband and I found ourselves wandering around DTSF -- which, for…read morenon-locals, is the commonly used shorthand for Downtown Sioux Falls -- looking for a good burger place. And somehow we stumbled right into JL Beers. Or perhaps more accurately, the scent of burgers guided us there like a pair of hungry travelers following a greasy North Star. Either way, what a fantastic little find this turned out to be. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and properly satisfying in the way a good burger should be. Not overcomplicated. Not trying too hard. Just well-prepared comfort food done right. The fries were excellent too -- crisp, well-seasoned, and dangerously easy to keep eating long after I was already full. The service also impressed me quite a bit. Even on a busy Sunday afternoon, the staff remained attentive, friendly, and efficient without making us feel rushed. One unexpectedly fun part of the visit was trying non-alcoholic beer options for the first time. My husband and I are not really drinkers, so this was a little adventure for us. The sparkling hop water was surprisingly refreshing and delightful, while the Athletic non-alcoholic beer leaned a little more bitter than my personal preference. Still, I appreciated finally getting to try some of the newer NA options people have been talking about lately. And honestly, this place wound up becoming one of our gateway restaurants into exploring more of DTSF afterward. We have returned several times since, usually combining it with walks around downtown and trying other local spots nearby. Now, of course, every local already knows the true final boss battle of downtown Sioux Falls: Parking. At some point you simply accept that you are either going to circle the block repeatedly like a confused migrating bird or surrender gracefully and use one of the nearby parking garages. Which honestly is not the end of the world. The walk is good for us. At least until winter arrives and the sidewalks become an Olympic slipping event sponsored by snow, ice, and regret.
