EATING & SLEEPING

Rapid City 1

5 Independent Ale House Pub $

(605-718-9492; www.independentalehouse.com; 625 St Joseph St; 3pm-late Sun-Thu, 11am-late Fri & Sat) Enjoy a fabulous (and changing) lineup of the best microbrews from the region in this vintage-style bar. The wine list is equally good. Pizzas are excellent (mains $8 to $15).

5 Murphy’s Pub & Grill American $$

(www.murphyspubandgrill.com; 510 9th St; mains $10-25; food 11am-10pm, bar to 1am) Pub fare with creative flair makes this bustling downtown bar an excellent dining choice. Specials feature seasonal and local ingredients. The vast terrace is matched by the big interior.

5 Tally’s Silver Spoon American $$

(605-342-7621; www.tallyssilverspoon.com; 530 6th St; mains $6-30; 7am-9pm) Carter or Reagan? Both statues are visible out front and you can ponder your preference while you savor the upscale diner fare at this slick downtown cafe and bar. Breakfasts are as good as ever; more creative regional fare is on offer at night.

5 Delmonico Grill Modern American $$$

(605-791-1664; www.delmonicogrill.com; 609 Main St; mains lunch $6-15, dinner $24-38; 11am-2pm & 5-9pm Mon-Sat) Fine burgers, sandwiches and salads star at lunch at this casually elegant downtown dining spot. At dinner, choose from superb steaks and other meaty mains from the Plains. Lots of specials by season.

4 Town House Motel Motel $

(605-791-3989; www.townhousemotelssd.com; 210 St Joseph St; r $70-140; mid-May–mid-Sep; ) A classic yet clean 40-room motel within walking distance of all the downtown joys. The exterior corridors in the two-story blocks of rooms overlook the parking area and pool.

4 Hotel Alex Johnson Hotel $$

(605-342-1210; www.alexjohnson.com; 523 6th St; r $70-200; ) The design of this 1927 classic magically blends Germanic Tudor architecture with traditional Lakota Sioux symbols – note the lobby’s painted ceiling and the chandelier made of war lances. The rooftop bar is a delight, while the 143 rooms are modernized retro (some have fabulous views!). Ask at reception about the hotel’s role in Hitchcock’s North by Northwest.

4 Rushmore Hotel Hotel $$

(605-348-8300; www.therushmorehotel.com; 445 Mt Rushmore Rd; r $100-200; ) This high-rise hotel has been transformed into a high-concept downtown gem with green accents. A lot of the furniture is made from recycled materials yet there’s no skimping on comfort. The marble floor in the lobby is a stunner.

Keystone 2

5 Teddy’s Deli Deli $

(605-389-3354; www.teddysdeli.com; 236 Winter St; mains $8-12; 11am-7pm May-Sep) Best sandwiches in the region, far better than what you’ll get at nearby Mt Rushmore.

Hill City 9

5 Desperados American $$

(605-574-2959; 301 Main St; mains $9-20; 11am-9pm, closed Oct-Apr) Dine amid frontier charm in the oldest hand-hewn log commercial building in South Dakota. Have the burger. Service is quick and casual.
