Had some time before an event and love supporting local breweries. We were also told this was a great place for cheese curds, so we decided to stop in. The space was nice. I was actually surprised at how comfortable it was for a small town brewery. Lots of space at the bar and plenty of tables too. Service was fast. We tried a couple beers and the aforementioned cheese curds. Both were good. If you enjoy local beers, make this a stop if you're in Western SD. read more

Spearfish Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Perhaps next time I'll taste some of their brews, what they're known for, because unfortunately this visit I didn't order any. My family and I planned to have lunch at Redwater Kitchen, right next door, but it was closed that day! That's what led us next door, to Spearfish Brewing. Everyone was pretty pleasant, although service was hands-off. We weren't asked about if the two young children (1 and 3) needed booster seats; we had to ask the server to come back and ask if they had any. Thankfully they did which helped a lot. It's not the most kid friendly on first glance; they don't have a kid menu; they don't have any of those kid activities, which makes sense given it's a brewery; they only had high tops and regular tables, so I appreciate they at least had the kid booster seats. The food was okay. I ordered the Smoked Turkey sandwich, and it was pretty tasty. All of us ordered sandwiches that came with a side of pickles and a bag of chips. I needed that pickle, because the rest of the meal was a lot of salt! My boyfriend and I shared a side of wings, which were coated with a delicious sweet + spicy sauce. I can imagine their bar food/apps are quite good and would go well with a beer. read more

Stopped by here for a beer. Great spot , great beer. The service was also fantastic. The bartender was able to give us solid ideas to do in the area. The brewery was clean and had a good vibe. I recommend the Hazy IPA and the Guava Lager. Both were fantastic . read more

The food amazing. Service was slow and the kids working weren't too friendly. We came in the middle of the afternoon that maybe why the servers weren't too great. The restaurant was very clean. I would give it another try if we are ever back in the area read more

I really loved this place. In a cute downtown area, friendly staff/good service and good beer. I would definitely come back if I were in South Dakota! read more

This stop was sadly the least favorite of our group. There were a ton of option but most seemed to fall short of the expectations, similar to when you go into a restaurant with a 20 page menu. I could feel the potential in each but they just didn't quite get there in nose, flavor, mouthfeel or all of the above. We all ordered flights and tried a varied selection, we also bought a couple of to-go brews that we haven't yet cracked open, but I have high hopes. read more

Beer was okay, got a mango blonde that didn't taste like mango whatsoever. Food was awful. Wings were the cheapest frozen wings that could be bought. Very fatty and very small. Panini sandwiches barely had anything in them for $14. Would not recommend. Dog friendly but I would go somewhere else. read more

The staff here is awesome. Everyone is knowledgeable about their beers and makes great recommendations. You can sample something you may be considering before committing to a full glass. The beer list and variety is great and they also have an extensive food menu. Add to it the fact that their staff may be some of friendliest folks in Spearfish, and this place is a must-visit. read more

I only had one flight, but all four of the beers were quite good. The cherry sour stood out to me. Solid hot wings, too. I'm very much a craft beer guy, and this place is brewing great beer. Oh, almost forgot. They also have a very crisp and clean hop water. read more

I will call myself a beer snob. The beers here are SOLID! But what makes a great atmosphere and the desire to return to an establishment is the staff. This is our 5th visit to area. Sat on the patio and watched the staff return a baby bird to its nest. Their compassion for the baby bird was simply amazing! Well done young men!!! read more

Five stars for the best mac 'n cheese that I have had in a long time. Seriously. Just the right amount of Cheetos and jalapeños. Thinking about it almost makes me want to drive back from Los Angeles now. Right now. Also, a rad place to work remotely and drink beer. Tasty beer. Street parking was easy and hassle free. I sincerely hope that Spearfish doesn't get "found" like a lot of smaller college towns in the West. It would be a tragedy if something like that happened. read more

Great beer and if they have pulled pork don't miss it!!! Plus everyone is super nice!

Beer - We tried all their IPAs and Pales and their sour. All were pretty good. If I lived in Spearfish I would be back. Food - Burger was less than to be desired. The two appetizers we had were great. Fried cheese curds and pretzel bites. Next time we will try restaurant next door. Staff- only one girl was there and she was hustling and was very nice. read more

My wife and I were in Spearfish, SD, about an hour north of Rapid City and we had just visited the fish hatchery, which they said get 150,000 visitors a year at, it was cool, but maybe worth 1/2 hour of your time. The bartender at Spearfish was super helpful in showing us some cool waterfalls to see in Spearfish and some hiking. I started off with a The Schwa beer, which was pink guava fruit beer. Not too crazy at the ABV at 5%, but it was super flavorful. A little hoppy, but the perfect amount of sweetness. My second beer was Half a Horse, their flagship IPA, which was super solid. Just a great IPA. I took it next door to the restaurant and got a Cuban sandwich to go with it. Perfect pairing. Great interior and talked to some other tourists in there. Great little brewpub! read more

Excellent brewery and snacks! I had the Yellow Jacket and it was one of the best light beer i had in a while. I also had the fried cheese curds to go with it. read more

We recently stopped into spearfish brewing after doing a hike locally, both my husband and I love craft beers so we was excited to check another one off of the list. The establishment its self is bright and clean with a great atmosphere, our server was super helpful and friendly, he talked to us about the beer options and based on his recommendations we placed our order. We also ordered a couple of appetizers and spent some time looking at the swag while we waited for our drinks and food. I ended up buying a tank top and my husband got a t-shirt, both were really soft and great quality. The beers and food were really good, and we took a couple of cans of the sours home with us. We have since visited several other local breweries and spearfish is by far my favorite, we will be returning this weekend and I will for sure be leaving with more then 2 cans of sours for my beer fridge. read more

We were excited to visit and the Beer was good, but the service and attitude from the manager was unacceptable. We tried to buy a sweatshirt and they had it marked one price on the display. When they went to ring it up it was higher price. When I asked them to honor the price that was displayed, they refused and gave me an attitude about it. I guess they are not familiar with the "customer is right" concept, which is unfortunate. Considering we'd be paying them $50 to advertise their brewery, it's truly their loss. We spend our time driving cross-country several times a year, stopping at every brewery along our route, which we blog about - so it's disappointing to have a negative experience, which doesn't happen often. We would have been OK to spend the $50 they were asking; however, it was how the staff handled the situation that soured our experience. We will move on to our next brewery and spend our money there - and will happily advertise for them with the clothing that we purchase. read more

All the beer I tasted was good, specially the jalapeno one. Friendly bartenders, the pretzels served in a cup very really good. I believe they were Dot's brand from north Dakota. The establishment was classy, nicely decorated, had outdoor seating and a good sized bar. Had a few items on the food menu, but once I saw the dinner menu next door, I had to hold out. This bar shares the bathrooms (very clean) with the restaurant nextdoor and I believe the kitchen too. Wish they could offer some of the main dishes from the restaurant. Overall a great experience, highly recommended. read more

Love this place. We always stop when we are in the area and they never disappoint. They have a beer to suit just about anyone. Love the outdoor fire tables! read more

Loved the beer! Good brews! Visited while we were at Sturgis. Loved the atmosphere and the attentiveness of the staff.

Good beer. Great merch selection. Parking was easy. I'd go back if in the area. Try them out.

Nice place. I had poor service, and the beer is better than some. Bartender was distracted by female clients, and my service was awful. I am from out of state, so I likely won't be returning soon, but I don't recommend it. read more

We were here the week before Sturgis and spent $400 in the brewery. We took 10 growlers home to share with our friends in Colorado. We Love the brewery but we stopped in again on Saturday of the Labor Day weekend. There were two tables with dogs so we sat on the patio to enjoy a Lemon Bar Sour with our Great Dane and Chocolate Lab. We had already ordered from one gentleman, when the bob cut do server booted us. Too bad, Sawyer brewing down the road was more than accommodating for us and our dogs. I know where I will continue to spend my money. Unfortunately, it won't be on a Lemon Bar sour. read more

More like a 2.5 but rounding up. The food was solid, but a very limited menu. The draft list is huge and varied, but the beers are universally bad. I wouldn't come back here. read more

It was an amazing experience! We are doing this thing called hike and brew and we got a but one get one for the beers they were really good and cold! We also got a side of fries and pretzel bites. The queso that came with the pretzel bites was delicious! The fries were hot and crispy. It was super cool because there was a big glass window showing the brewing area. Overall this was a great experience. read more

Had a great experience at Spearfish Brewing today. Beer was great and food was as well. Derek really made the whole thing great. Plenty of samples and he was willing to answer all our groups questions about both the food and beer. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was fair at best and took forever to get. My wife never received her food. Waiter stated he forgot to order. Beer was Luke warm. Definitely not coming back. read more

Right in the heart of downtown. Friendly service. Sampled the Schwa. Very flavorful! They have several award winning beers as well. Worth a stop. read more

Great beer and friendly staff. The pretzel bites and cheese sauce were so good I wanted to eat the sauce with a spoon. Wish we didn't live a thousand miles away. They have cards and games handy for you to use. Fun place. read more

Our bartender Raven was delightful, the seven beers we tried were all excellent (especially Bobcat Logic), and the burgers were well prepared and the fries hot. read more

We stopped in after a long day of visiting National Parks. Great friendly staff. Food is from next door. Best hamburger ever and those wings were fantastic too. We sat at the bar a tasted good beer. We're beer snobs from California and Oregon. They passed the test. They also have hat's and shirts which we bought. Stop in, you won't regret it. Also, we have traveled over 8000 miles on our around the United States trip. One of the best breweries we found. We stopped every night we could. read more

Great brewery and tap room. Large selection for every drinker. Make sure you stop when you are in the area!

My girlfriend and I tried out a flight and liked what the brewery had to offer. The Green Hot Chile Peppers is an awesome brew! Not a huge fan of the IPA line-up here but overall they make a decent beer. read more

Well where do I start. They forgot half our oder and told us that we will just take it off the bill.. As it would take to long to cook. Then when we got our check they had actually bought us someone else card and charged this person card with our bill. When I asked to speak to the manager I was told he was to busy to speak to me. When I finally got the manager he stated he was sorry and then found my card. Charged us and as I was coming out of the resturant the server who messed up told me I need to be more respectful. This punk arse kid told.my sister in law he forgot her food because he is like that. Will never come Back here again. Do yourself a favor go to McDonald's better food and service thru drive than this dump read more

Would highly recommend the food and the beers! We had a great experience with our visit! Derek was so awesome helping us decide on what beers we wanted to try! We even ended up purchasing merchandise too! Cherry Pie beer was our favorite! Can't wait to come back... next time in town for sure read more
