Grab a Drink and Enjoy a Show in Sioux Falls

Ready to dust off your party shoes, and enjoy a night out on the town? If singing along and dancing until dawn is your cup of tea, Sioux Falls offers several spots for the perfect combo of signature cocktail drink (or a few!) and a spectacular show. Grab your significant other—or your group of best friends—and explore the city’s lively club and entertainment scene.

Drink, dine, and feel the beat at your favorite bar.

Start the night with a glass of Cab or a stellar martini at Paramount Studio Cocktails & Food. Add a small plate like shrimp cocktail or mussels, or go for dessert first with a slice of midnight layer cake with raspberry sauce. An upscale companion bar to Minerva’s restaurant, Paramount excels at showing off its elegant, old-world ambiance—and irresistible, throwback charm with live piano and big band-style music on weekends.

Prefer a more modern experience? Check out PAve. With concrete floors and contemporary interiors, the two-floor bar comes with exposed lighting and a buzzing atmosphere. Enjoy a beer and fried bacon downstairs, or go upstairs for a completely different vibe, paired with an outdoor terrace. PAve has a DJ on weekends to keep the dancing going.

Focus on center stage with music and artistic performances.

Love catching a show in lean-back velvet chairs? The lights dim and the stage is ready to entertain you! The Orpheum Theater has early 1900s theater decoration style, and a more intimate, close-to-performance setting. Discover an eclectic range of shows—from classic broadway shows to comedians and more.

The jewel of Sioux Falls’ live arts scene is unquestionably the Washington Pavilion With three tiers of seating and boasting the home of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, the Pavilion hosts music enthusiasts and stage supporters—from the state governor to your most artsy friend next door. Enjoy everything from a concert honoring Bowie and Prince and the play Rent to a classic rock band and Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker. You will find a wide variety of entertainment at this venue.

Be the life of the party at concerts.

Catch some of the biggest names in the music industry perform at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center. This 12,000 seat venue has hosted plenty of sold-out crowds over the years. Enjoy everything from country to rock to pop and more.

Looking for a smaller alternative? Live concerts at The District give you the urban vibe you crave with artists scheduled all year round. Get your wristband and jump around to performers like Kellie Pickler or Chase Rice. Get up close on the floor, or reserve a VIP suite upstairs for an exclusive stage view. With onsite bars and dining, you don’t have to leave until “closing time” is called!
