Sioux Falls Restaurant Guide

Crawford's is an upscale bar and restaurant situated in beautiful historic downtown Sioux Falls. Surround yourself with century old quartzite and brick walls, funky & energetic ambiance, tempting & flavorful dishes, innovative cocktails & an extensive wine & beer list. Take notice of our namesake as you are stepping over the threshold, the original 1963 Crawford's logo is still there.

The decor unabashedly integrates masculine and feminine; wild west meets gypsy...from the cowhide paneled bar & reclaimed wood tables to the hand painted and jeweled wallpaper and Moroccan chandeliers...no detail is left untouched. The same holds true for the food; from your prime cut of steak to the wild-caught salmon, every element is carefully considered.

The natural stone bar top is beautiful Sioux Quartzite. See if you can find a few perfectly round white circles known as "moons" on the pink stone. Some believe these "moons" are where spirits have touched the stone and left their mark; chemically the "moons" are the result of ancient radioactive flecks that were trapped in the formation of the rocks over 1.2 billion years ago.

The bar foot rest is an old iron railroad track. It took a 10,000 pound jack to create the arch and anchor to the floor. Beautiful antique columns from India are around the back bar and cow hides line the front of the bar and the top of the back bar.
