2 Best Nightlife in Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills, South Dakota

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.
