Very lively club lots of lights and good DJ. Horrendous service good luck getting anything to eat or drink in a timely manner. Overall atmosphere definitely geared towards the college hookup culture crowd if youve got confidence to approach someone and money to burn youll leave with someone for the night. Not really my style but power to those who have the juice. Parking a nightmare be prepared to walk but at least there were food trucks outside. Drinks overpriced but tasty, had the blue bomber I think.

Brought my nephews to Pave. The patio up top has great ambiance. Being a music fan, I love the two murals of artists and album covers. I find it funny they have deceased music stars and Keith Richards. Also, it was funny walking on the dance floor and my shoes stuck. Cold drinks and hot food. And they have Buffalo Trace!

Tried PAve last night for the first time last night. Arrived at about 6:50pm and was able to find seating immediately downstairs.We were greeted by a friendly and attentive server, who got drinks started immediately. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so started with a water & my husband got the Cosmic IPA.Our server circled back with our drinks and got our food order. He mentioned that happy hour was about to end and wanted to give me the option of getting a drink before it ended. I opted for a Bombay Safire cocktail and wasn’t disappointed. I love the extra effort and customer service with this step, without being pushy!We tried the giant pretzel and the 2024 Burger Battle entry, the Alanis Morissette… Let me start by saying that their pretzel is literally the largest pretzel I’ve ever seen and comes with 3, 4oz sauces for dipping, an amazing honey mustard sauce and two different types of cheese sauce… this was a great shareable option and would recommend for anyone with a large group. The pretzel is $18 and could easily be shared between 4-6 people.Now, onto the burger: it’s served on a brioche bun, comes with 2 patties, mayo, white American-cheese and a Hatch Chili salsa and choice of side.. The burger was delicious. The flavors melded together nicely and it was the perfect blend of slightly sweet and buttery flavors from the brioche bun to the savory and smokey combination of the cheese and hatch chili salsa.Will definitely be back!

My partner and I came here for food and drinks. The customer service was awesome! Our waitress was very accommodating and patient with us! Unfortunately, the food was not the best. The tots and cheese curds were absurdly salty, like I looove salt but they were even too salty for me. The French dip was literally just a Philly cheesesteak that came with dip. The wings were very dry and over cooked. Although the tacos are not authentic, the pork tacos were so good that I wish I couldve had more! They played great music and the drinks are well worth the price!

Great vibe and 3 different bars, along with the best (currently) patio in town. Lot of drink and local brew options, and overall a great experience on Thursday through Saturday, with standard pub-like vibe the rest of the week.

It was a great place. The sweet potato waffle fries with sour cream were to die for. Only draw back is it was all high top tables with a stool I had to hick up on because Im short and 69. No pads, just wood. The bar tender was so sweet and swapped me out a bit lower stool from the bar with padded seat and back. Thank you

Had the Steak Kabobs with apps. Calamari was perfectly cooked. That’s a lot of Nachos but they were pretty good. I’m told the fried cheese was good.Steak was a little chewy and not fully cooked. Couscous and grilled vegetables were yummy. Co-workers enjoyed their mac and cheese stuffed burgers and fries.We sat on the 2nd floor patio with the blazing sun. Waitress kept our water pitcher full and was attentive.Must be 21 to get in.

Pave has three separate bars and the settings are all completely different. When you walk in, you will see is a restaurant with a bar. Go up the stairs to your right, takes you to the outdoor boutique patio vibe with a bar. Past the bar, to your left is a bar games. When you go up the stairs to your left is a club with a live DJ and a bar. Really unique concept right in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls.

Great place to enjoy drinks with friends on the rooftop, which is open to the outdoors. You can sit inside or outside. There are large round tables that seat 6/8 people with a fireplace in the center. Or you can stand with your friends and look out over the city while you sip a glass of wine. They also serve a limited menu. Great atmosphere for gathering! Loved it.

Been coming here early evenings. Play pool and get food/ drinks every time. Food, wait staff and bartenders have been nothing but great. Good time and place to hangout. We indulged before the photo was taken. Ghost burger with coleslaw, chicken grille sandwich with fries, cheese curds for a app. All were delicious.

I am not into the bar scene. In fact, I made a decision early on to never drink any alcoholic beverages, except for wine for communion at church. With that said, my rating is based on food and service alone. I took my wife to PAve on a date last night. We had a wonderful time. I ordered this Big Kahuna burger. The burger was picture-perfect in presentation. The only time Ive seen a burger look so good was on commercials. The taste of the burger was just as good. My wife was satisfied with her meal as well. We will go to PAve again for sure.

This place was recommended by our hotel because it has some of everything.We heard right. Great happy hour specials, amazing and beautiful rooftop patio, dancing/djs/live music semi regularly including a dance floor for those interested in more late night type stuff.We didnt try the food but we really liked our experience... a lot because of our bartender Ross.No presumptions, great conversation, would recommend.

Went to pave on a Friday for a light meal, trivia, and some birthday drinks. 5pm trivia was pretty lame, we made the mistake of sitting upstairs and couldnt hear the questions at all. However, the upstairs seating has a beautiful view. Happy hour half price drinks were good. The Nachos were awful. Paid $14 and ate half just because we were hungry but the flavor is not good and the chips were super salty. No birthday special. Nice staff, started out attentive but as they got busier she kind of forgot about us, which she apologized for.

Summer and Fall - be prepared for the lines, to walk in, feel the heat from the bottom floor and walk out the opposite way you came in. Big dance floor, bomb food, and great bar tenders. Fun and usually chill. Nice outdoor roof area. Better during the day for the folks who arent into the drunk college age scene.

My lawyers will be involved. I was physically assaulted by the “security” staff. My phone screen is cracked, my armani jeans are ripped, my brand new firetrap shirt ripped. Not to mention the amount of times I was choked, knees and elbows on my throat. I lost and still haven’t regained feeling in my left arm. Despite the amount of times I said I’m cool. The “security” staff would not let me up. When the police arrived everything was cool. I was served with a 6month trespass summons. As a businessman who supports local businesses I’m gonna swallow my code and finish this legally. Which honestly is a shame because I enjoyed most of my time .

This place looks nice has a rooftop bar but when it came to the drinks they were serving the portion of the alcohol is very little! I paid 9$ per shot which was half of a to go salsa/ranch cup from a restaraunt. I read the great reviews but I was extremely disappointed. The upstairs bar is full of young employees who are talking to each other more than paying attention to customers. It’s also extremely hot up there. If anything downstairs people seem more professional and it’s much cooler there. Either way I wouldn’t go here with high expectations of the customer service or for good drinks. I can’t speak for the food as I did not have any.

Imagine being in a bar downtown Sioux Falls. Its -20 degrees outside. You order a lift at 12:30am. The lyft cancels repeatedly like they do. The bartenders then kick you out of the bar into the cold. You urge them to let you stay warm until you have a safe ride home, but you are thrown in the cold anyway. Not their problem. Now you are stranded, freezing, and out of options. This is PAVE.

My mom and I had such a fun time at PAve yesterday afternoon. Monday is half price tacos and margaritas. The nachos and chicken tacos were delicious and our server was so nice! She was really kind and helpful. The patio is really cute and the wall with the album covers is cool, its a nice place to go with friends or family. Overall, a great time I think you should check it out if visiting Sioux Falls!

This place was a random pick which turned out to be a great evening for all of us. I love how this place decorated and laid out. Every time you look youre finding something new. Upstairs and downstairs bars. We were on the balcony with the firepit tables. Great service, prices, and space. The only thing I didnt like is when the bar closes and everyone is out front. Everyone blocks the sidewalk and street to try to leave and or pickup your party. This girl blocked all traffic because she was talking to random people in the street forever. So park away from the building itself if you plan to be there to close.

Went here for the first time last Saturday night while I was in town and the place is nice and I liked how they have that huge patio on the upper level and liked how the place is big. I liked how they have a large dancefloor on the upper level as well. I liked how not only many of the peeps that were there were cool, friendly and chill but the place seems to draw some beautiful women as well! The drink prices were a little high but not terrible. The only major drawback is that this place closes 30 to 45 minutes before 2 AM which is kinda a bummer. If/when I happen to visit Sioux Falls again in the future on a weekend its likely ill be checking this place out again

Literally the best patio downtown! The open air atmosphere is always welcoming and the sitting area is well laid out.

Its huge and will hit ya hard...lol. #cheers 🍻

Never have I received a more rude server. Our party of 14 was shocked at her disrespectfullness, rude comments and lack of caring. Severe enough to make a member of our party cry because they were confused on how to work the menu and had a question about an ingredient. We left and went to JL beers where we received fantastic service. The food is great but after an experience like that we unfortunately will never go back.

Awesome service, enjoyable space, very tasty food. We went for the burger battle and their 605 burger was eventing I would expect from a classic well loved food. The bun was perfectly paired with a very well seasoned patty, and to make it even more dreamy the pickles are house made and beyond enjoyable. I would recommend a great date here for good food, and Sundays are half priced drinks to top it off.

Always good food. Love their appetizers - go with a group so you can sample several apps! The nachos or loaded fries, for example, are way too big to eat alone. Youre going to need to bring friends - or make friends while youre there. The new rooftop patio is beautiful with a very uptown feel.

PAve has always been my favorite bar in sioux falls. Ive lived here for a year and a half. And my only days off are Sundays. The bar tender Tiffany, has always gone above and beyond in customer service. Great humble positive personality.. To top it off, the Turkey sandwich is delicious! The fries that came with, were very unique and enjoyable. Highly recommend this bar.

Review №65

I love Pave.A pivotal shift for Sioux Falls night life. It is an excellent Bar that I highly recommend you visit if youve never been to Sioux Falls Before.Pros:Honestly great Bar Food at great price for a lunch / non weekend Dinner option.Rooftop Patio.Options. Dont like Crowds? Stay Downstairs. Wanna Dance? You already know it will play (fairly generic) club music. The environment of the place is Young, fun, and consistently a good time.Staff. Some of the Staff has been there since it opened. They love being there and are able to handle massive crowds drinks as smoothly as youd expect on a Friday / Saturday night.Essentially, its Pave. You will have a good time when you go. If you dont want to be part of the craziness, go any time of the week before 10pm.----There are certain aspects of the Bar I think could be done better. They are not necessarily Cons but my opinion on why I dont go often:Target Crowd is 21-26 Year Olds. I would have been a Pave religiously if it existed during my party phase. That being said, youre not going there to play Pool/ chill/ relax.People are generally wasted at Pave since its usually the last spot people end up at for the night.There will be a line to get in both the Front and the Back. Dont complain, because it is to control the flow even if the bar isnt at capacity.Drink Prices. Good Lord I am anything but cheap when I go out, and understand how drinks work at the bar. But you will most likely get doubles because of the long drink times and ordering 4 drinks for your crew will add up very quickly for average strength drinks.Flow. I think the bar gets crowded because of the layout rather than slow bartenders. Luckily fights/accidents dont happen too much because of it but you will be nut to Butt with strangers to get anywhere so be polite and have fun.Long review, but Ill always have love for Pave. Please visit it at least once and find out for yourself!

I really enjoyed PAve. Yeah the name is dumb. The toilets are dumb. Besides that they did an awesome job remodeling this place. It looks great. The food is 100% on point. They have a giant pretzel the size of a birthday cake that came out hot and fresh with stone ground mustard and two kinds of cheese. They have a great cocktail menu. The burger we had was an excercise in pure gluttony. It was so good. I cant wait to come back.

Visiting from Texas, this was the worst bar I’ve ever been to in my years. We were greeted by a doorman who was newly blacked out, and then had our id’s checked by a guy who was not far behind him. We decided to go upstairs and within the 15 minutes of being there, saw 4 near fights and a guy who wanted to fight us over a line at the bar?Instead of buying drinks, spend your money on buying a plane ticket out of this god forsaken state.

This place hospitality and customer service is horrible. I think they are only kind to the Caucasian race. I have been in there a few times because I like their french dip but I was treated so badly that I will never go in there again. One of them I believe is a manager so she should know better. But really it isnt the 1890s anymore. Get with the program. Be warned that unless you are a conservative white person wearing a suit and tie, you will get treated disrespectfully here.

Their system they use to scan IDs is extremely hit or miss. I tried going there, and the guy told me he already scanned in my ID that night, even though I hadnt been there yet that night. Instead of explaining himself, he was very rude to me. Worried my identity had possibly been stolen, I called the police, but she told me they get calls from there all the time for the same issue. My friends had gotten in without issue, so I went to the back door and they let me in with no issue.

When the hall monitor hunts you down and tells you that you cant wear your clothes the way they are designed to be worn, you are not allowed to ask them why or even where the dress code is posted.

Terrible, bad manager, and ageist. My friend was mentally distraught after the ordeal that went down at Pave. My friend was a loyal patron of Pave and went there a least once a week until she was stopped at the door and told that her legal ID was fake with no explanation as to why she was rejected this time. The manager insisted that she couldnt stand in the entryway to contact her friend and had to go out into the negative degree weather fully thinking other clubs would not take her when she didnt have a jacket.

We come here often on weekdays because we aren’t a fan of going out on the weekends. As a result, we often play music we like on their TouchTunes.We were approached by a bartender on a recent visit and asked if we were playing the music on the touchtunes. My fiancé responded that we were and then we were asked to not play those songs anymore as their “clientele on weekdays” doesn’t appreciate them. She then reset the touchtunes so the rest of the songs we paid for weren’t processed and didn’t play.Normally we have really good experiences here and we enjoy being customers, but not when our experience is apparently worth less than other customer’s experiences. We likely won’t be back on our weekdays.

I have had fun at PAve in the past, but a couple of weeks ago I had my phone stolen from my back pocket. I filed a police report and the detective assigned to my case asked the manager if he could come in to view some security footage from that night (which should be easy because I know where I was at the time of the incident, I know who took it, and I know the time frame, which was very short). The manager told him it would be a waste of time, even after the detective told him that five phones had been reported stolen in the past two weeks by PAve-goers. The complete unwillingess to help my detective and by extension, me, out is apalling. I have had a good experience in the past with the bartenders and security staff, especially during the night of the incident. The food is good, but after this encounter, Ill think twice about ever going there again. Not because my phone was taken—that was obviously my own fault, but because of how it was handled by management. And if you go to PAve, keep your phone in a purse or in an inside jacket pocket.

Bad business and a Complete disregard for personal property! Beware!!! On August 23rd my 20 year old daughter was on a workplace outing downtown. She misplaced her coach purse (A gift from someone special) which contained her coach wallet and valuables worth close to $1500. She seemed to remember possibly having the purse last at the corner of 10th and Phillips. The next day (August 24th) she called all of the businesses on that corner which included, PAve, The Diner, Coffea, Yoshima, and others. All of them, Including an employee at PAve said that they had not had anyone turn in a purse. This past Sunday (November 17th) my daughter was on Facebook Messenger and found a hidden message dated back to the day she lost her purse. A Good Samaritan found the purse on 10th street and Sent a message that he had left it at Pave to ensure she got it back. She was surprised because she had called Pave back on August 24th and was told they didn’t have it. At this point she became excited and called Pave. She was told that they had just donated all of their lost and found And that they donate items every 6 months. Not believing what they had told her, I called Pave. The woman on the phone Remembered the purse and in a very rude manner told me that “my daughter must have gotten in their establishment with a fake ID because they found her real ID in her purse.” I informed them that she was never in their establishment. Is that why they didn’t try to contact her? When I asked why they wouldn’t have called the police, or tried to find her and return her property, she said that people leave things there all the time. The next day, I called and talked to the manager(Rob) , he was argumentative and informed me that he didn’t see anything wrong with not finding my daughter to return her purse. He also told me that people leave high dollar items there all the time. A friend of ours also got in touch with the General Manager. There was no apology and no offer to make things right. We were told that they donated her new, expensive purse to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. I’m sorry but I find that hard to believe. The man who turned that purse in thought that it was in a safe place. This is very disheartening, shady, and this business cannot be trusted to do the right thing! Very Unfortunate that it has come to this!

Great food, service was a little slow but we were in during the first month of opening so I wasnt too worried. Hoping the reopening (for those out of town, there was structural damage from a neighbor building collapsing) happens in March!

PAVE BAR STEALS FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!!!Please be very careful before deciding to spend your time there. A few months ago I was downtown with a couple of my Work friends, I sat my purse down and forgot it when we were taking a picture, the next day I called around to the surrounding businesses which included paved work friends, I sat my purse down and forgot it when we were taking a picture, the next day I called around to the surrounding businesses which included Oshima sushi, Pave bar, Coffea, the Diner etc...Each business told me that they had not received or seen the purse I described. all of those businesses were truthful except for pave bar, I just recently went on my Facebook messenger and saw a message from a person I didn’t know telling me that they had found my purse on August 23 and they were going to leave it at pave due to it being one of the closest businesses, seeing this message three months later gave me a lot of hope because I thought for sure my $400 coach purse and wallet were for sure nowhere to be found, I called pave the day I saw the message and they told me that that purse had never been turned in, then my mom called five minutes later being a little bit more stern than I was and they admitted to having the purse, and that they found my ID in it and saw that I was a minor, they thought that a minor had got into their bar and they were scared that they were going to get in trouble for it, therefore They did not try to return my purse when the man had turned it in on August 23 (the day i lost it)and they also lied when I called August 24 and said that they didn’t have my purse. after about five different stories they told me that they only keep the lost and found for six months to a year, but that didn’t make sense considering it had only been three months since my purse was turned in. pave the bar had every means of contacting me and getting my purse back but since they thought they would get in trouble for having a minor in there a bar They thought it would be better to lie and say that it was never turned in, then they continued to tell stories like they donated it to Goodwill or salvation army when we all know that a bunch of waitresses and bartenders in their 20s and 30s didn’t donate a $400 purse and wallet. they thought it would be better to lie and say that it was never turned in, then they continued to tell stories like they donated it to Goodwill or salvation army when we all know that a bunch of waitresses and bartenders in their 20s and 30s didn’t donate a $400 purse and wallet. Pave bar is full of dishonest people. They steal and lie and i would never recommend them ever.

Had high hopes after eating the onion rings, but they were the highlight of the evening. I had a beer and the Fish and Chips. The beer tasted watered down. The fish were very greasy, the batter had no flavor of its own, and half of the chips were overdone while others were still soggy.We also ordered the Club Sandwich with hash browns. There was a puddle of grease under the hash browns which leaked over to the sandwich, making it soggy.Overall not impressed, will not be returning.

This was the 2nd time we have been there. We are from Minnesota and have been chking out Sioux Falls for a possible retirement location. We took our kids there this last saturday and oh my, they have the Very Best Bacon Cheesburgers! Their french fries are really really good also! Our meal came Hot and the waiter/bartender couldnt have been nicer or more helpful when asked about a beer selection. We have eaten across the street at the silver diner but Skellys has them beat. We will be back!

Review №125

Immaculate location. First floor decor/layout decent. Second floor is a mess. Poor design horrid stage positioning and the bar is located to create a mass booze thirsty crowd that spills onto the make shift dance floor AWFUL. Plus there is a random pool table?? The first floor I see effort, the second is a confused knock off warehouse feel. I Dont get it.Pave: Add some couches, bottle service, if you can manage.... Build a V.I.P. Section. There are tons of no talent rappers in Sioux Falls you will make a killing. Also make a roof top bar: there is only one in the city and its tiny. Nice but tiny. Throw some cabanas up there with a designated dance floor elevated stage and a bar *with enough bar tenders* and double your profit. So much potential for this replicated city......use your platform.#blah
