About

Historic Buffalo Bar, Buffalo Steakhouse, gaming and special events in the Bodega Bar right in the heart of downtown Deadwood, SD!

Story

The Buffalo Bar (as it was originally known) is one of the oldest establishments in Deadwood. It has been located at this site since it’s founding in June of 1877.

Mike Russell arrived by stagecoach to Deadwood on March 6, 1877. At that time there were at least 17 saloons in town, but Mike thought there was room for one more. He established the Buffalo Bar, named for his good friend and hunting partner Buffalo Bill Cody. Of those original 17 establishments, the Buffalo Bodega is one of the very few that remain today.

In the past 135 years the building has housed everything from prostitutes to brass lights, crystal glassware, and a full-sized stuffed buffalo, a gift from Buffalo Bill. Mike Russell’s legacy as one of the pioneer spirits and entrepreneurial founders of Deadwood, lives on the Buffalo Bodega Complex today.

Awful experience at the Bodega Casino. I lost my winning ticket near or in the bathroom, I realized it about a minute after I was in there; so I immediately started to look for it, I triple checked my purse, and I could not find it. Then I asked around if anyone found one. There were only a few people there, it was around noon. I asked Ken the bartender he said he hadn't found one. I did see only one person who came out of the bathroom after me, so I asked her if she found one, she said no. I said are you sure, I was just in there right before you. Ken got angry at me for asking her if she found it since she was his friend, which he stated. I was only asking her and he yelled at me to stop accusing his customers of steeling it and that I needed to leave. I wasn't accusing anyone, only asking. He became very angry and rude so quickly I was pretty shocked by it; he kicked me out of the casino, following me out and threatening to call the cops. I was pretty upset by the way I was treated for just looking for my winning ticket; who would be happy if they lost their ticket and no one would say they found it or was honest enough to turn it in! I will never go to that casino ever again!!! Ken needs some comprehension skills and some manners on how to treat the customers!

Food was not good, server was snotty, added an upcharge for waffle fries without telling us. Had a drink at bar while waiting for table, the bartender was the best of the whole experience. Try any place else.

Just finished eating with my family, in town from Minnesota. I have to say, I was not impressed with the service we received. Our waitress, Danielle, only checked on us once after taking out order. She added an 18% gratuity, where one was not earned. There was a random, "$4 upcharge" that we were told was, "for our waitress" like, what the hell does that even mean? When we asked her to split out check fr us, she very rudely stated "that's why I asked you if you needed separate checks already.." and was very grouchy about splitting it up for us. I, myself, am a waitress; I could not imagine acting that way towards my customers. For what we paid to eat, the service was garbage, regardless of how the food was. Will probably never eat here again.
