One of Rapid City’s most unique and interesting landmarks, the original Rapid City firehouse structure (built in 1915) is best known for being South Dakota’s first brew pub. But don’t stop there – enjoy Firehouse Brewing Company’s diverse menu with specialties like the buffalo burgers or Rancher’s Pie inside or on the heated, outdoor patio (did we mention giant fire pits?). Not in the mood for beer? They have a full bar and Firehouse Wine Cellars.
