Amazing award-winning brewery only one block from the Apple Blossom. Nationally recognized as an award-winning brewery for its size. If you only go to one bar during your time in Spearfish, make this the one! The attached REDwater Kitchen is also a great place to eat--and opens early for breakfast if you wake up hungry and only want to walk one block from the Apple Blossom!

THE LEGENDARY BACK PORCH AND B & B BAR The owner's love of a WILD time is only eclipsed by his love of motorcycles. Three bars in one with a stage, live bands, and dance floor. This is NOT a piano bar! If you do not drink, this is still the best place in town to admire tattoos! You would not think one could get that much ink on a human body......

Great little pub that is literally across the street from the Apple Blossom. You can see it from the front porch! Better yet, you can see the Apple Blossom when you walk out the front door of the pub--very useful for finding your way home if you enjoyed the pub a little TOO much! Tuesday night is quiz night if you want to walk across the street for a village pub experience on a Tuesday night.

Norm's Scoreboard has been a mainstay dive-bar in Spearfish for decades. Actually part of Queen City Liquor that is in the same building. This is where the locals go for happy hour after work--drinks are STRONG and prices are low. Not fancy, but always a good time.

The Spearfish Recreation Path runs along Spearfish Creek throughout the town. It is perfect for biking, running, or walking. From the Apple Blossom, just walk along Jackson Street for 4 blocks until you reach Spearfish Creek. The most scenic option is to turn left (South) to head to the City Park and Spearfish Canyon.

This National Scenic By-Way is one of the most stunning drives in the country! Follow it all the way to Deadwood if you want to take the scenic route to historic Deadwood, or go as far as Roughlock Falls and enjoy the amazing views or even do some hiking if you want!

Very casual Tex-Mex place. The Air BnB mapping app is actually putting the restaurant in the wrong place; it is on corner of Jackson and Canyon Street. Great burritos. Want to enjoy the outdoors? Just order to go and walk another block to Spearfish Creek and the Spearfish Recreation Path.

Have kids? Or just like home-made ice cream? Really, who doesn't? This great little family-owned ice cream creamery is located in the former City Hall. Enjoy the idyllic scene of the working canal that flows by the ice cream shop located a mere 2 blocks from the Apple Blossom. As an interesting note, the canal actually flows directly behind the Apple Blossom as well! The pump in the front yard of the Apple Blossom near the alley is for pumping water from the canal.

Classic cofeehouse atmosphere. This unique coffeehouse is paired with a mountain biking store in the same building run by a unique husband/wife team. He is a former Olympian who runs the mountain bike store and she is from the coffee culture of Europe. You will love it!

This is the restaurant attached to the Spearfish brewing company. One of the two best breakfast places in town, and only one block from the Apple Blossom. If you want to go out to breakfast, this is your closest choice. So close that you can literally see it from the wrap-around porch. Is it a better breakfast place then the "Original Breakfast House" that is 2 blocks further down Main Street? That is a tough call--try them both and decide for yourself!

Because curry is always good! The Black Hills might not be as high as the mountains of Nepal, but the owners have made their new home here in Spearfish anyway! Great authentic Indian/Nepalese food. Co-host Jon Auer insists that this is the best restaurant in Spearfish. Try it yourself and let him know if you agree!

This a great little diner is only 4 blocks away down Main Street. Uncle Louie opened his original diner down the road in Sturgis and has now expanded to 3 locations in the Black Hills. Small bar as well, or eat here and then go next door to the Spearfish Creek Wine Bar.

Walking to Mexico might take a while, so walk to the Antunez Mexican restaurant instead! Great margaritas at the bar, and a much shorter walk back to the Apple Blossom! Perhaps best of all, the owner is also a certified wine sommelier--the only one in Spearfish! Mexican food and classy wine bar might not immediately come to mind as a great combination, but Antunez does it marvelously! Only 2 blocks away--so you can enjoy all the great wine you want and still easily stumble back to the Apple Blossom.

One of the 3 best spots for breakfast in Spearfish, and an easy walk from the Apple Blossom. This restauant has been in Spearfish for decades, and has now expanded to several other places across SD. Right off the interstate, but an easy 4 block walk up the hill from the Apple Blossom.

The "Original" is aptly named because it is on the sight of the old "Valley Cafe", which was literally the original cafe in Spearfish. With 100 years of tradition to build on, they cannot help but make a GREAT breakfast! This is only a 4 block walk from the Apple Blossom, and is probably the best breakfast spot in Spearfish--although the REDwater Kitchen is a close second. Try them both and decide for yourself!

Sightseeing

One of the prettiest spots in Spearfish Canyon. The frozen waterfall is frequented by ice climbers in the winter, but in the summer watch for the wild mountain goats that live in the area. Just remember, if they are crossing the road in front of you the mountain goat always has right of way!

The Thoen Stone is a historic item from an early party of American explorers to enter the Black Hills. They actually explored the area prior to the 1874 Custer Expedition, but they did not live to tell the tale. They did carve part of their story in rock before perishing,. Life was hard in the pioneer west--visit the Thoen stone marker to find out more!
