Highball Bar

The environment is fantastic. I love the lighting and the wood, and the wallpaper is a nice touch. Don't sit in the grey chairs - they are angled downward and make you feel like you're going to slide out. Our bartender was very nice and our drinks tasted like they were supposed to, but knowing that this place is from the likes of The Carpenter Bar and The Treasury, I expected more from their cocktail menu. There wasn't anything special - just basics. I was anticipating creative cocktails like at the other two bars, but no such luck.

Top notch downtown on 8th Street! Love the atmosphere, the staff is superb!, and the drinks were excellent!!

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Experience – Overcharged and Poor Service Went out with my wife for a date night and ended up disappointed. The atmosphere was nice, but the service was slow—we sat for a long time before anyone even approached us. I had to go to the bar myself to order drinks. I asked the bartender with long hair how much an Old Fashioned with Blanton’s was—he clearly told me $18. I ordered it, plus two more later. When the bill came, I was charged $18 each plus an additional $24. When I asked about it, he said that’s “just because it’s an Old Fashioned,” which made no sense. I specifically asked the price before ordering. He apologized and said he’d fix it, but nothing was removed. This isn’t how you run a business. Misleading customers and hoping they won’t notice the charges is not acceptable. I won’t be coming back.

You need to come here. The vibes are so cool! They play cool music and have nice cozy spots to tuck into. Our bartenders were great! Very nice and you could tell they knew what they were doing. Drinks were immaculate. I recommend the Love on the Rocks and the Verdita Margarita. Top notch place!

Came to Sioux Falls for a concert and found this shining gem of a cocktail bar. Quiet Tuesday evening with excellent drinks and good music. Well worth the stop in!

First time at the Highball Bar snd it was fantastic. Great Bourbon Selection (Wellers Full Proof, Eagle Rare, Blanton’s plus several others). Great signature drink selection. I went with the Old Fashion with Blanton’s. Spacious and contemporary. Bartender was friendly and attentive.

Great vibe, super tasty cocktails. The jalapeno margarita is one of the best I've ever had. Great service.

Nice curated cocktail menu, trendy interior, relaxed atmosphere. Never had a bad drink, but consistently encounter brusque staff. They always seem to be in a foul mood — not just a little less than warm, unfriendly, short, and occasionally almost hostile that you’re there. I don’t need much from my bartender other than a solid drink, but the staff here is exceptional aloof, almost snobby. Nothing like the service you get at Highball’s sister cocktail joints, Treasury and Carpenter Bar.

It's boujie, chill, and colorful. There seems to be a decent number of younger folks (millennials) that go here. The drinks are really heavy handed (a decent amount of alcohol), and tasty. They were able to adjust my drink to suit my flavor palate as well (lol). It's got a really cozy atmosphere, and the staff is/are attentive and warm.

Best cocktail bar in Sioux Falls. Great drinks and ambiance. Bar tenders are always kind and attentive.

Highball Bar has such a fun atmosphere, and the drinks are always on point! I especially love sitting outside during the fall months--it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the season. While there are usually only two bartenders, which can lead to a bit of a longer wait than I'd like, the overall experience more than makes up for it. Whether you're inside or out, you're guaranteed a great time.

Beautiful bar that just opened in Sioux Falls! Select wine selection, high end liquors, and fun drinks! Grab one of their 3 appetizers to accompany your drink then sit back, relax, and enjoy this beautiful industrial and modern atmosphere. Inside and outside seating located right off the art walk in downtown Sioux Falls. 10/10 recommend this beautiful bar!

This is a great place to meet a colleague for happy hour or early evening cocktail. The service and drinks are excellent.

A great bar; very laid back; the service was exceptional and they have a wide drink selection. Definitely a good spot to have drinks with friends or a happy hour before dinner.

Cozy atmosphere and ambiance that provides high quality drinks. Staff appeared to attentive to all the customers.

This place is super fun! Lots of standard high end drinks and some originals. Amazing atmosphere and a decent patio to see the action on East Bank. Had an Old Fashioned and a Negroni that were top notch!

According to Jacqui the drinks are great and the chairs are super comfy so next time I am in SD; I'll be there.
