Rays is by far the best bar in brookings. The atmosphere is fantastic, nice mix of the college crowd and locals. Come here if you want a good experience!!
This was a cool dive bar and my favorite during a week long stint in SD. I tired several places but always found myself back here for cold drinks and good times in a great atmosphere . Bartenders were the best . It is cash only so bring paper money .
