Beer & Food – Page 5 – F**k Yeah! It's Sioux Falls!

Free Beer…If Ya Let “The Man” Track Your Drinking!

We’re all for a free beer around here, and Sioux Falls has enough locally-brewed suds these days to keep everybody buzzing. Want one more, on the house?

All you’ve got to do is download and use the new app from Experience Sioux Falls. We haven’t tried it, but from what we can tell, if you use the app you get a monthly BOGO from most every local brewpub every month. That’s a pretty frothy deal…if you’re ok with your phone keeping tabs on your nights out. Hopefully they don”t include a “cut me off!” feature on version 2.0!

Missing The Icon Lounge? Check Out The DaDa Gastropub!

dada-gastropub-sioux-falls — The founders, as shown in the Argus Leader.

We’ve spent more great nights at the Icon Lounge than our brain cells can handle. With Covid, it looked like game-over for out favorite venue, but hope is on the way the way!

The folks from Parker’s Bistro have taken over the space, re-opening as the DaDa Gastropub. Yeah, focus is on food and cocktails right now, but shows should be coming along once, well, once live music becomes a thing again. In the meantime, grad a bite and see what they’ve done with the place!

West Mall 7: Soon Serving Suds?

Nothing wrong with a cold one to accompany a good movie. And popcorn. That’s always good too!

West Mall 7 is trying again to get a beer-tapping license to let their patrons-on-a-budget enjoy a few while watching second-run films and old favorites.

The first time they applied there were some legit concerns about how they’d be policing the kegs. But now they’ve got a wrist-band plan in place that should allow them to sail through the permitting process.

We hope it goes through! Sneaking in your own gets a little old after a certain age…not that we’d know…

Phew! Phew! There’s a Galaga Contest On Now!

Got a flair for mashing video game buttons, old-school style? Then get downtown to the EightyOne Arcade bar for your chance to prove your stuff!

If you’re too young to know, Galaga was the original “Space Invaders” type game, where you slide your little star-cruiser back and forth and launch missiles at an endless barrage of alien enemy attackers. It’s one of those games that starts easy but then goes crazy.

Here’s the deal on the contest:

If by midnight on the September 31st, you’ve got the high score you win a sweet classic Galaga console game for your home, all cleaned up and redone by the folks at Boulevard Brewing Company! It’s also sporting some graphics for their new Space Camper Cosmic IPA.

Did we mention Space Camper’s also available on draft? And that it’s only a $5 pull for a pint on Thursdays?

Go out get gaming!
