Why We Call Them “Freedom Taps” at Prairie Dog Taproom – Hill City SD’s Self-Pour Revolution Roam free. Pour your own craft beer. No lines. All vibes.
“Why ‘Freedom Taps’?”
People ask: “Why do you call your taps ‘Freedom Taps’?”
Short answer: Because we’re the Black Hills’ most free-spirited taproom—and waiting in line is for anyone who has lost their prairie dog spirit. You didn’t come to Hill City SD to be herded. You came to roam.
The B-52’s Had It Right: “Roam If You Want To…”
Here, you’re free-range human.
- Bar stool? Claim it.
- Comfy fireplace chair? It's Yours.
- Merch Room wander? Get lost in fun grab and go's.
- 100+ seat creekside patio? Plus 200 + seat yard. Creek views included.
No assigned seating. No table jail. Just Black Hills freedom.
The Magic of 28 Freedom Taps
Self-pour taproom = You’re the bartender and you have lots of options.
- 28 taps: Craft beer, cider, mead, wine, nitro brew, kombucha.
- Pour a little or a full pint — pay by the ounce. You're here to taste and savor.
- No waiting in line, “Hey Mary, can I get another beer?” Just go back to your favorite tap and pour.
- No lines. No waving down a bartender. No drama. Just friction-free fun.
Only at Prairie Dog Taproom. Hill City SD’s #1 self-pour experience.

The GuestX-Perience: Ambassadors, Not Order-Takers
All this freedom isn’t just for fun (though it is a lot of fun). It means our Guest Ambassadors can spend more time actually connecting with you-sharing local beer recommendations, telling prairie dog jokes, and making sure your visit is legendary. So yes, at The Prairie Dog Taproom, freedom really does ring-in the form of the best guest experience in the industry.
