Pavilion Bar & Grill

Don't go there it is closed. We searched for it the other day to realize it had switched to ground round

After getting stuck in Brookings, we had a couple of misses down down, but the Pavilion certainly saved our New Year's. The staff was awesome and fun, the bar was well kept, and the patron's friendly.  
 If I was ever snowed in Brookings again, I'd spend it at the Pavilion.

The Pav is pretty sweet now that it's smoke free.  There used to be nights where the smoke was so bad that it was really difficult to be in there.  

The food is pretty good.  Burgers and pizza are kind of my staples here.  You'll probably spend about $10 - $15 per person, but they have some really decent specials on various nights and if you catch them on the right night, you might be able to spend that much for a couple.  The Pavilion also has a comedy night (on Thursdays, I think), which is pretty popular.  It's definitely worth checking out.
