Cheers Sports Bar & Casino — Restaurant in Rapid City

This place is spiraling 🌀 we won’t be back.

This one sentence review apparently really hurt the feelings of the guy running security. After an attempt at a parley, understanding, and moving on, said individual doubled down on previous slader, lies, and attempts at character assassination.

And, don't be fooled by all the talk of new ownership on social media. It's the same people running things. They tried to say they were under new ownership two years ago and it was a fib then as well.

You can't lie about your customers being racist or saying racist slurs who didn't and aren't. Especially after your over served patrons physically attacked my wife on camera. This place is lucky an additional lawsuit hasn't been filled. If that is what it takes to get a look at fake evidence that doesn't exist, then the new ownership has no clue the quagmire they are still in. If there are new owners at all they would fire a few folks ASAP

Very disappointed. My nobody advice: stear clear of this place, it is still spiraling - save a few bright souls the place would be borded up like the Perkins is already.

Ya just can't trust the word of one who would lie to cover up their own incompatance. We still won't be back until new owners clean up the problems they...

The experience some people and I had at Cheers Lounge was the worst we have had. One bartender ignored us when we flagged him down as he passed our table and there we only a few tables that had people at them. Another told me that there is no military discount, even though every table had a placard said that Mondays (the day we went) was military discount night and refused to give me a discount. I went and ordered drinks for us at the bar and one was supposed to be a cranberry and [Absolut] vodka. Instead he used Smirnoff.

The DJ they had for karaoke that night was another matter. He kept adjusting the volume of the music as it was playing. His lyrics display system kept getting the lyrics wrong or would display them in an unreadable format. The singer's voice would come out of only some speakers. When singing, the person could hear themselves clear as day. Though, if you were in the back, all you could hear was the music. It was as if he was using the speakers in the back for the music and the speakers in the front for the singer. Instead, he should have been using all of them for both the singer and the music.

This is one place we will...

My rating, until recently, was 5 ⭐s. However, in light of the continued discriminatory & prejudicial treatment of my fellow tribal members by Grand Gateway Hotel owner, my opinion has completely changed. If I had the option to give them 0 ⭐s, I would have. I absolutely will NOT give them a single penny, a single compliment, or a single second to attempt to lie their way out of this entire illegal and shameful situation. And I don't care if you are a Native American, a non-Native, a Good NDN, or a Bad NDN, you should NOT give them your support/money either because, by staying at the hotel and/or spending money at this bar, you are condoning the owner's actions (and therefore, YOU are also a violent, racist, disgraceful individual). So, which side of this dispute are you...
