Dungeon Bar (Alpine Inn)
Downstairs from the famous Alpine Inn — dark, cozy, and pours what riders swear is the best filet mignon dinner in the Hills upstairs.

The Story
VibeBasement stone-walled hideaway under a legendary German steakhouse. Quiet, dim, and a total change of pace from Main Street Sturgis.
The Alpine Inn is a Hill City institution serving one thing for dinner — a 6oz or 9oz filet mignon with a baked potato and salad, no substitutions. The Dungeon Bar downstairs opened as the waiting-room bar and became a destination in its own right.
