Literally the best patio downtown! The open air atmosphere is always welcoming and the sitting area is well laid out. The staff is always accommodating and ready to serve (with a good pour for sure!). One of my favorite evening venues. Check them out but be careful of the Whitney Houston on the drink menu.... Its huge and will hit ya hard...lol. #cheers
PAve is so much fun! They have a gorgeous rooftop patio, which I would highly recommend during warm weather. They have awesome specialty cocktails and food. Be sure and check them out during the annual burger battle; they always have something great!
Staff is amazing!! Im in a wheelchair due to an amputation. They are so good & fast at getting me ride on elevator!! They always hold the door open!! I lost my keys that night & one of the bouncers found them for me!! Nothing but good things to say!! I was there the weekend of sat. Nov 21st so thank the staff on that night!!
Oh man was this place amazing! Small, busy, packed at lunchtime, but totally worth it. For being so busy it wasnt a long wait, we got a great table by the window. Our dogs were perfect!! I got the PAve and my boyfriend got the Mutt, we also had garlic fries. Service was great, the girls working were super friendly. The only drawback was parking. I know they cant control that, but we almost left because we couldnt find a spot. Im so glad we didnt. Make this a must try on your next trip to IA!!
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 a wonderful combination of great food during the day, and an awesome atmosphere at night. Id recommend it to anyone looking for a nice time, whichever preference you prefer.
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
Good drinks and great service! Love the patio
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.
Pace closes 45 min before last call . Over priced drinks, no personal ability from bartenders. Not a good place to let go and have fun
A very nice, clean, and classy bar catering to the younger crowds. Dont let that fool you, though. They may cater to the younger crowds but they have something for everyone!
Had a good time .nice bartenders fast service and an all around good time
Food was good and generous portion. Staff was friendly and helpful but service was a little slow.
Very, very good!! Great service, great food!
Pool tables. Fire-pit tables. Not too loud outside. Loud dance floor inside. Good people watching.
Excellent food!! Even tho due to Covid they had a very limited menu it was still very good. Will be a return customer for sure
Bad service manager did not to resolve problem
Great bar/club best in sioux falls
The rooftop is a amazing atmosphere. Food was good as well.
Cute decor. Good service. Great off day specials. Sunday is cheap night. Hit it hard and appreciate the space
So big and beautiful. Thank you
Staff is very friendly and the location is great
Cool rooftop bar with drinks at a good price.
A great place to have a drink and eat some food. They are know as a great club environment but also have some of the best food in town. Great customer service.
Amazing food. Service staff was super nice. It was pretty busy so a little slow but they more than made up for it.
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.
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.
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. But hey, its their bar and if they want to have a silly dress code and silly enforcement thats their business. Lots of other downtown choices.
Food is awesome. Went for a silent auction, great turn out. Got what we went for.
The bar is decorated well and the staff is friendly. They have a fire pit that isnt working (and hasnt worked for a a while (but maybe it is fixed now!)) They should get more because they are a big fave. On weekends, it is shoulder to shoulder and a little chaotic.
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.
Went here for my last day of work, and the staff gave me all the free food. It was super weird! Like what?! FREE FOOD?!Sure Ill take it.Im definitely not writing this review ahead of time to show the server that this totally did happen and she should give me free food. Totally not.Nachos are great....*wink wink*
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.
Great place and people
Absolutely love the patio! Nothing else like it in Sioux Falls! Unique food selection. Great place to have dinner or go out on a Saturday!
Great place to go dancing and have fun. They often have gpod deals on drinks as well!
I had an amazing Time!!
Probably the premiere nightlife option in sioux falls. Always packed with dancing on the weekends. Decent alcohol selection and apps when the kitchen is open. They have a really nice large open 2nd level with some trees and couches and tables. Can socialize or dance as the dance floor opens to this area.
First time there. The upper level patio was fantastic. Played some pool and threw some bean bags. I would definitely go back again the next time Im in town.
Super friendly staff and really good food (especially for a bar!)
Too packed over rated to many problems, and fights almost every time I go, Id rather stay away! Good music but besides that, too crowded, over priced, and too much drama.
Good staff. Great entertainment on weekends.
DD for 5 and everyone had a blast including myself. Bouncers were cool and respectful. Will definitely be returning.
Fun times
This bar is AWESOME! They have two bars, one on each floor, and they have a lounge, a stage, and a heated outdoor balcony. Service was excellent and the staff are awesome! In my opinion one of the best bars in Sioux Falls.
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!
Terrible and age discriminatory management. Would not listen to reason. My friend got kicked out because her driver ID “looked” fake, and left outside in the -5 degree weather, even though she had no transportation. She’s 23 and has never been kicked out at other places or had her ID be suspected for no reason like that. My recommendation is to make sure to take your birth certificate or multiple ID’s if you decide to even go there.
People were rude, you couldnt get a drink very fast, the bathrooms were gross and none of the sinks worked. This was one of the worst places I have ever been to, to have a good time.My daughters bachelorette party was a dud when it comes to trying to dance and have a good time
Great place to make new friends and get a drive
Come in for lunch once in awhile. Good food and nice servers. However, stop serving straws automatically. It’s wasteful and irresponsible.
Good dinner. Had some good made ol fashions. Good sevice on our large group.
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. Cheers.
Good food, stay away from Thursday Friday Saturday nights unless you live the club scene
Was quiet when I was there, 21 and over only.. Nice to just sit and have a drink without kids around
Staff is an absolute delight, drinks are delicious and the music is banging. Everything you want in a bar/club at night and a great restaurant by day. A weekly favorite for us.
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.
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.
This place offers a good atmosphere for drinks and get togethers. Prices are about average for drinks. Has an up and downstairs and roof top seating area.
Loved the upstairs balcony. Steak salad was killer good.
I love the second story patio here. Its always super packed here on the weekends but the music is always good and on Fridays they do $3 flavored long Islands so thats fun.
Not bad its the spot for younger kida
Nice people and a generous happy hour.
Nice ambiance and roof top seating. The food and drinks were great as well!
Well just so you know, this is probably the only Night Club for youngsters in Sioux Falls. Its fun, its restless, and remember its packed to the MAX.
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!
By far the best seasoned burgers in Sioux falls.
Drink specials are what drew me in. The tacos are not aomething i would recommend. I have only been there once and everyone has a bad day. I will definatly try this place again.
Best bar in town
Not a horrible bar, but they bounced our friend from Chicago. Apparently they dont even bother checking Illinois IDs, and you have to call the bar during the day to get in if you are from Illinois. Pretty absurd policy, considering the amount of potential customers who may be visiting Sioux Falls from Chicago.
A downtown night life must.Great outdoor deck.
Looking for huge dance floor so just visit and have fun
Patio is amazing!! Great place to grab some food and have a few beers.
One of my favorite places to get drinks with friends and dance on the weekends. They recently added a rooftop patio with cool vibes and a great view of downtown. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to have fun on the weekends!
A truly excellent establishment with amazing staff.... excellent food...amazing cocktails...and the perfect setting if you are looking for a one night stand with a local love of your choice... granted it is no Club David but still a great place with a over the top version of the Chicago Dog....come for the drinks stay for the food!!!
Great food, great service!!
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.
Cool place to party.. however didnt like the fact they end the night at 1:30
Great drinks and prices! A club hotspot in Sioux Falls. No coat check that I can recall, better brave the cold or prepare to hold your coat the whole night. They do have a pretty good food selection for lunch and dinner at a good price too.
Nice outdoor patio. The food is really good
This place has a very great dance scene 1 of the best Sioux falls has to offer with 2 floors disco lighting always 4-5 bartenders on staff. Always ids friendly atmosphere tight security overall great place to go clubbing and 1 of the safest in Sioux falls
Good atmosphere but terrible staff discipline. One bar tender mocked a customer after he receivied no tip due to giving the customer the wrong drink. Staff kicked everyone out into the cold 20 minutes before close leaving everyone without rides in 0° weather.
Ok atmosphere for younger folk ! Has patio on roof and is very nice in good weather . Service is sub-par .
Loved thr atmosphere. Recommend the $3 skitel bomb on saturday....its literally the
Love this place. Great food and staff with a downtown atmosphere. Brand new roof top bar and newly remodeled
Nice place. Full of millennials, if thats what youre looking for
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.
