The Vault is located in the historic district on River Street in Hot Springs, South Dakota. It is a newly renovated establishment in a magnificent sandstone building that was built in 1905. The decor is of beautiful hand scraped logs, rough cut lumber walls complimented with copper painted walls and exposed sandstone, and a beautiful worn wood floor. The bar is of concrete with paintings airbrushed on it and is one of the largest ones in town at almost 60 feet long! Adorning the walls are local and regional animal mounts that include elk, antelope, deer, fish, snakes, mountain lion, a full size bear and even a wild boar!

Wow-was I glad that I took my two friends from Florida to this fairly-new establishment in Hot Springs, SD. The Vault is a renovated bar-cafe that has a 'mountainy', roomy atmosphere. Old sandstone walls have been exposed, windows give plenty of light, tables are far enough apart for private conversation and the decor of stone, logs and trophy mounts (not enought to overpower) are well put together.
Then there was our meal. I had an excellent entree called a Chicken Popper. It was a perfectly-cooked chicken breast with a crunchy outside. This laid on a cream-cheese (and other ingredients) base over a generous bun. The breast was drizzled with a delicious raspberry-chipolte sauce. This sandwich was served hot and fresh out of the kitchen. My friends had one of the Vault's specialties, the Mini-Brats with Sweet Potato Fries. They said they were Very Good and we all enjoyed the fries so much!
Prices were reasonable and it was very relaxing. I took half of my sandwich home and it was delicious the next day.
We didn't see any salad choices on the menu, so wouldn't be a good choice for a super-light or vegan lunch.
Service was fine-kitchen was superb-clean.
Definitely go back as soon as possible.

The Vault was a neat find in Hot Springs, SD on what I assume is the main strip. This restaurant/bar had a wide selection of beers and liquors, as well as a creative menu.
We got the vault burger, and the dare burger. The vault burger was excellent (and huge). The dare burger seemed like a better idea on the menu, then someone dumped twice as much horseradish sauce on it, and then my eyes watered with every bite.
I'm not sure if this place is new, newly renovated, or just looked new, but it seems like a pretty swell place. If I had any intention of every going back to Hot Springs, SD... I'd hang out here, but I don't, so I won't.
