Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Merissa Kringen and Erik Thone

Here are a few of Merissa and Erik's favorite spots (mostly for eating and drinking) downtown. If you're staying downtown near the reception venue, all the food options should be within easy walking distance. If you're looking to kill an hour between the ceremony and reception, there are several great options to grab a beverage right across the street from Monick Yards.

Falls Park

131 East Falls Park Drive, Sioux Falls, SD 57104

The falls in Sioux Falls...enough said.

Brix Wine Bar

330 South Main Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57104

Merissa and Erik's go-to spot downtown and where they had their engagement party the night he proposed. Great wine and pizza, offering high quality gluten free crust. If you visit, be sure to say "hello" to Hank who always takes great care of you.

The Treasury at Hotel on Phillips

100 North Phillips Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57104

Erik and Merissa's first date. A cocktail bar located in the Hotel on Phillips, the Treasury is in the old bank vault which is kind of cool. If looking for the best cocktail, however, go to the Highball or Carpenter Bar instead.

R Wine Bar & Kitchen

322 East 8th Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57103

R Wine Bar, Covert, Monks, and Highball are all right across the street from the reception venue. Erik and Merissa celebrated their 3 month and 1 year anniversary at this favorite spot.

Covert Artisan Ales & Cellars

434 East 8th Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57103

Brewery recommendation #1. Right across the street from the reception venue: a favorite spot for more adventurous brews (though they do a nice hazy IPA). Erik and Merissa like it because they also brew their own seltzers.
