Although it carries the name of the bar where Wild Bill was shot and also purports to have the chair he was shot in, this Old West saloon--style establishment is not actually on the site where the shooting occurred (that was at 624 Main St.); nevertheless, it's filled with fascinating artifacts making it "the world's only museum with a bar." One of Deadwoods' best restaurants, the Deadwood Social Club, is upstairs.

Few if any nightspots in the Black Hills can beat the atmosphere at Sawyer Brewing Company, with its modern, sawmill-inspired building and massive outdoor patio, which opens onto a greenway and walking path alongside Spearfish Creek. Besides the craft beer brewed on-site, there's also pizza made in a brick oven. This is one of the newest areas of the city, where great care has been shown to incorporate the natural surroundings.

Expect a family crowd in the day and a rowdier bunch at night in this saloon, where most evenings you can listen to live country or rock music. The entertainment moves outdoors in summer, when bands play in the stockade section. The Bodega has a rough past; from the 1890s until 1980, the upper floors were used as a brothel.

Featuring a craft beer brewed exclusively for them by the Mount Rushmore Brewing Company, the owners of the Buglin' Bull (named for the sound made by a male elk) also offer a wide selection of other beers, spirits, cocktails, margaritas, martinis, wine, and bourbon. It's all served up in a bustling atmosphere at a renovated downtown building with a bar, tin ceiling, exposed brick walls, and a large outdoor deck on an upper floor.

This friendly pub is owned by a local couple in a historic former bank building, where the old vault is now a wine cellar and the menu is full of locally brewed beers, wines, and pub food. As the owners describe it, there's a drink for every taste here, from Coors to Chardonnay.

The fun-loving, adventurous, outdoorsy side of Spearfish shines through at Killian's, where the wood on the walls is imbued with character, bicycles are used as decoration, and the carefully curated beer and wine lists are ever evolving. A local chef sources local and exotic ingredients to create creative dishes, including some vegetarian options, which add surprising sophistication to the publike atmosphere.

One of several roadhouse-style establishments in the Lead area, Lewie's is popular among snowmobilers (who can ride a trail right to it) and motorcycle riders joyriding through the Black Hills during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The rest of the year, it's a place for anybody to unwind with a burger and a brew.

Using malt from North Dakota and hops from the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, this brewery creates a flagship line of four beers with names inspired by the four presidents on Mount Rushmore: American Fabius, a blond ale; Long Tom, an American IPA; Trust Buster, a Scottish export; and Rail Splitter, a London-style porter. All the beers can be enjoyed on-site in the taproom. The expansive facility also include a restaurant and event space.

Sprawling over half a city block at the top of Main Street, and including the historic Franklin Hotel across the street, the Silverado is among Deadwood's largest gaming establishments. Although the wood paneling and brass accents around the bars recall Deadwood's Wild West past, the red carpets, velvet ropes, and bow-tie-clad staff give the place modern polish.

Although not actually alongside the creek as its name implies, this quiet spot has a wood privacy fence surrounding the outdoor seating area, and vines growing around the entrance. It's a great place to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine on a warm summer evening. There's also a small indoor seating area, and often live, acoustic music from local and regional performers.

With a style that's a cross between an American roadhouse and a German beer garden, the Sled Haus caters, as the name implies, to snowmobilers looking for hearty pub food (including German-inspired choices such as bratwurst). There's also a large selection of beer and wine.

What's now the Town Hall Inn was once Lead's city hall, and the lower level was the city jail for much of the early 20th century. Today, that lower level is transformed into Jailhouse Taps, where local brewers craft Belgian-style beers and serve South Dakota--made wines in a small, communal setting behind an old jailhouse door.

It doesn't offer live music, but the Midnight Star is owned by actor Kevin Costner and decorated throughout with props and costumes from his movies. The bar on the first floor is named for and modeled after the bar in the film Silverado, in which Costner starred. Wood accents, stained glass, and plush carpeting give the structure an elegant Victorian look and there's a sports bar, Diamond Lil's, on the second floor. Jakes, on the top floor, is among the region's finest restaurants.
