The Veranda

709 Main St, Deadwood, SD

The Veranda is a seasonal rooftop bar located atop the Historic Franklin Hotel, offering panoramic views of Deadwood's Main Street and surrounding landmarks. It serves a full selection of cocktails and beer in an open-air setting overlooking Outlaw Square.

Situated on the upper level of the Silverado-Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex, The Veranda provides what is widely considered the best vantage point for observing the activity on Deadwood’s Main Street. This seasonal destination is positioned directly above the entrance of the landmark 1903 hotel, allowing visitors to look down on Outlaw Square and the historic storefronts of the gulch. The bar operates from Memorial Day through September, weather permitting, making it a staple for summer travel through the Black Hills. Beyond the immediate street views, the elevated position offers clear lines of sight to Mount Moriah Cemetery—the final resting place of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane—as well as the distinctive White Rocks formation high above the town. Guests can access a full-service bar featuring ice-cold beer and a variety of cocktails. Because it is part of the larger Silverado-Franklin complex, visitors are within steps of the town's largest gaming floor, the Legends Steakhouse, and the Silverado Grand Buffet.
