Wilbert’s Alehouse sits next to Comfort Suites University near the South Dakota State University campus. Since opening in 2020, Wilbert’s Alehouse has served mouthwatering chicken, juicy steak and fresh seafood, making it a popular choice for celebrating birthdays, engagements, anniversaries and other special occasions.
Dennis Bieldfeldt and his wife Susanne founded Wilbert’s Alehouse in honor of his father, Wilbert, on the principle of good food and drink for the hardworking farmer. An SDSU graduate himself, Bieldfeldt opened Wilbert’s Alehouse to be the nicest place in town. He says Wilbert’s Alehouse is “the treasure that people don’t know is there.” Wilbert’s Alehouse brings a feeling of “Gemutlichkeit” a German word meaning a cozy, warm, welcoming and inviting atmosphere for every guest who walks through the door.
Wilbert’s Alehouse offers an array of weekly special, a late-night happy hour from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and a full-service bar and liquor license, with happy hour daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Wilbert’s Alehouse menu is available at wilbertsalehousebrookings.com. Wilbert’s Alehouse is open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
