This is the bar for the Rushmore Best Western @ 445 Mt. Rushmore Rd. In Rapid City S.D., which doesn't have a working Yelp entry for, because I think someone hacked it to show only two entries for. Anyway, the 445 Lounge has good beers but stay away from the food if you're hungry. I didn't have anything to eat all day so I was starving. I ordered the Noah's Steak Sandwich which was $18.00, but the steak was so thin that it was almost as thin as salami, so most of it was the bun. It was literally the thinnest steak I ever seen in my life! I'm amazed that they have a slicer to slice it that thin! When I got thru I was still starving and looked on my maps for a McDonald's but none in the neighborhood. Anyway after complaining to the Bartender "S" - he wouldn't give me his name, he gave me 50% off, so that was really nice! Like I said, the beers are good but if you're hungry, eat across the street at a Irish Pub that has a good rating and supposedly great food too!

Definitely one of the better hotel bars I have experienced. Nice drink selection, great service and very low prices (is not gauging like most hotels do - as a result does a great business with a nice mix of locals and out of town guests) very large bar with a large out door patio. Great for after work drink and at night place gets busy with great music. Perhaps the best place in downtown Rapid City to hang up

I used to love to come here for a drink in a quiet area, but nowadays it is way too noisy. One time I went for a show(noise to be expected) there was maybe enough seating for 20-30 people, which left me and my family to stand awkwardly near the stairs for the whole show constantly having to move for people... Maybe I'm just getting old but this did not lend itself to an enjoyable experience, still good drinks at an affordable price so there is that.

Just “ok” drinks, unless you’re ordering off the menu, they may not know what other drinks are. Expensive for what it is.

I liked that they had seats inside close to music that was being played by the band, great long island drinks, and a great pink haired bartender who helped me understand the drinking scene better for the area. Just wish it was more crowded and the drinks weren't as expensive. Other than that, it was a good place to be!
Great place, great service, bartenders here are incredible! Love the patio!!

The bar staff are AMAZING! The Huckleberry Mules were so good. We ate in the lounge several times while we're were staying there and wasn't disappointed with anything that we ordered. The crab dip was awesome. My husband's bison burger was so tasty. I had the spinach salad. All around wonderful service and staff!!

I love this bar. They have great service, live music, excellent selection of spirits to choose from, and all around fun atmosphere. Whether you are inside enjoying the show or outside socializing around the fire pits, it’s always such a fun time.

We love 445 and Privè, the staff is of the best of the best in the Black Hills, consistent quality, excellent drinks and an impeccably clean and inviting place to eat and drink.
Great place! For sure coming back
