Perhaps you're looking for something to do before or after a concert or performance. We have you covered with plenty of options to choose from.

## Drinks

Enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail from the mixologists at some of our high-end cocktail bars such as [Carpenter Bar](/listing/carpenter-bar), [Crawford's](/listing/crawfords-bar-and-grill), [The Hello Hi](/listing/the-hello-hi), or [The Treasury](/listing/the-treasury).

 

 

  

 

 

Not into cocktails? Sioux Falls is home to an amazing [brewery scene](/articles/sioux-falls-your-next-brewery-destination), with taprooms spread all throughout the city, including several within walking distance of one another downtown.

 

 

  

 

 

## Activities

Give axe throwing a try! No experience necessary for this activity. Compete against one another at [Escape 605](/listing/rough-cut-social), [JJ's Axes & Ales](https://www.jjsaxes.com/), and [Thunder Road](/listing/thunder-road-family-park).

 

 

  

 

 

Throw it back to the golden days by playing some of your favorite childhood games at [EightyOne Arcade Bar](https://www.facebook.com/eightyonearcade/). Enjoy the likes of Pac-Man, racing games, and of course, pinball!

 

 

  

 

 

## Desserts

You can never go wrong with dessert! Enjoy a scoop (or two) of [Stensland Family Farm's](/listing/stensland-family-farms) fresh ice cream. With a variety of tasty flavors to choose from, you'll have hard a time deciding what to choose.

 

 

  

 

 

If ice cream isn't your thing then we recommend the delicious cookies at [Mary's Mountain Cookies](https://www.experiencesiouxfalls.com/listing/marys-mountain-cookies). These large cookies are baked fresh daily and flavors include monster, peanut butter cup, frosted Oreo, and more.

 

 

  

 

 

 

## Relax & Unwind

Wrap up your evening with a delicious concoction at a cocktail bar or a crisp beer from a brewery.
