The Local
5734 Sheridan Lake Rd, Rapid City, SD
Crema's Take
“The Local in Rapid City has carved out something special by blending a welcoming neighborhood vibe with serious coffee craft—their gingerbread latte and rotating specialty drinks keep regulars coming back, while the family-friendly atmosphere (complete with occasional bingo nights) makes it the kind of place where you're equally likely to grab a quick espresso or settle in for hours. What really resonates with visitors is how this former brewery space has transformed into a genuine local gathering spot that honors its history while serving up quality coffee, light food, and an impressively diverse drink menu that spans from craft beer to kombucha.”

Dated on Saturday, November 29th My mother and I had being there with a different name before The Local. It was a former “Last Mile Brewery.” But it’s nice to see their business still here. Surprised that they have the breakfast and Grounded Coffee Company for coffee in the mornings. We got the lunch there. Our drinks were Samuel Smith’s Winter Ale Welcome and Remedy Brewing Co.’s Queen Bee. Our foods were The Sheridan and The Canyon Lake Paninis. The Sheridan Panini was so freaking good! We were enjoying our beers. They have great local beers on tap there! I love to get back to try the coffee in the morning there!
Stopped in on a Sunday evening for coffee and thought the place was a nice spot. Loved my gingerbread latte. They had a round of bingo going when we walked in which was pretty neat. Next time I'll definitely try some of the local brews.
If you are looking for a local spot that truly has it all, this bar and grill is it! What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It is family-friendly, comfortable, and welcoming whether you are sitting inside, relaxing on the patio, or enjoying a drink at the bar. The owners clearly care about supporting local businesses, and you can see that through the local products they carry and the sense of community they have built. The staff deserves a special mention too. Every visit, they are friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to make your experience great. It is rare to find a restaurant that combines excellent food, great drinks, and such a warm, down-to-earth vibe. Whether you stop in for coffee and breakfast, meet friends for a drink, or bring the family for dinner, this spot is a must-try.
Love it here! Great family owned business, delicious food, a huge variety of drink options (espresso, tea, beer, wine, kombucha, soda) and an overall good vibe. So glad to have found this place or should I say so glad they found us! :) Very dog friendly!
New favorite hangout in Rapid! Highly recommend this place to anyone that likes great food, awesome atmospheres, and amazing service this is the place to go. We had the bacon ranch pizza and it was great but we saw tons of people getting the nachos and heard everyone say they were to die for. Definitely trying the nachos on our next stay. Great outdoor patio as well. Thanks to the owners and team of The Local for bringing a great taphouse and eatery to the south side. Everyone needs to check this place out, you won't be disappointed. Cheers!
