Blind Lion

Hidden just beneath Murphy’s Pub & Grill, The Blind Lion Cocktail Lounge is Rapid City’s newly re-envisioned escape—refurbished, refined, and designed for those who appreciate the art of slowing down. Located at 510 9th St., Rapid City, SD 57701, our lounge invites guests to step away from the rush of everyday life and slip into a world where time moves a little softer.
Inspired by the golden age of cocktails, we craft each drink with intention. From beloved classics to imaginative specialty creations, our mixologists blend tradition with innovation to deliver a menu that feels familiar yet thrillingly new. And coming soon, our tapas-style small plates will add a fresh culinary twist—perfect for pairing, sharing, and savoring.
At The Blind Lion, our mission is simple: Create a place where guests can relax, connect, and truly be present.
Soft lighting, thoughtful design, and a warm, intimate environment make our lounge the ideal spot for date nights, conversations with friends, or a quiet moment to yourself.
Whether you’re winding down after dinner upstairs at Murphy’s or seeking a destination all its own, The Blind Lion Cocktail Lounge offers an unforgettable, elevated experience beneath the heartbeat of downtown Rapid City.
Step inside. Slow down. Sip deliberately. Welcome to The Blind Lion.
