The Dam Rock Station Playing Anything that Rocks!!
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A newcomer to downtown Sioux Falls saw a steady stream of green-clad customers over the weekend, only days after the business opened its doors.
It’s not your average Monday morning at the bar, but it is your typical St. Patrick’s Day at Shenanigans.
“I came out to listen to the Cartwright Brothers, the entertainment, the green eggs and ham, and the Irish beers,” Sioux Falls resident David Luke said.
David Luke is among the crowd of people spending St. Patrick’s Day on the west side of Sioux Falls.
“On the day of, no matter when it is, we always have people at 8:00 a.m. with the Cartwright Brothers,” Shenanigans General Manager Andy Rose said.

Andy Rose is the general manager at Shenanigans and says the Ellis Road location will be buzzing with activity all day.
Things are much more tame this St. Patrick’s Day at the new Shenanigans downtown, and for good reason.
“The downtown restaurant kind of came together really fast so it was just a matter of being able to have everything lined up. We weren’t sure if we were going to be ready on time,” Rose said.
Shenanigans beat the clock and opened its new location last Wednesday, in the former Papa Woody’s. Rose says it also ended up being a successful first weekend, complete with bagpipes, but the significance of hitting their target date extends beyond one holiday.
“March Madness is on Thursday, there’s a lot of things that are very important for sports in Sioux Falls in March, we’ve got the state tournament coming up this weekend, so there’s a lot of things that we were trying to hit our marks for we very lucky to be able to hit those marks,” Rose said.
And they’re quickly making themselves at home.
“It’s a great area, it’s a smaller atmosphere, we loaded it up with tv’s, but we look forward to being able to provide that downtown, being able to have that same kind of things we’ve done for 30-plus years,” Rose said.
Next March, the day’s festivities are sure to make their way downtown.
The downtown location of Shenanigans will open at 11:00 a.m., seven days a week.
