Stacy Newcomb yearned for more space for her existing restaurant, Parker’s Bistro , in downtown Sioux Falls. For 14 years, Parker’s has operated in its initial building, but in 2020 an opportunity arose that Newcomb couldn’t resist.
The historic building opened in 2023 under the name of Myrtle’s Fur Vault & Bar .
The name “Myrtle’s” pays homage to Newcomb’s grandmother and wife to Parker , the namesake of the first restaurant. “When naming the new bar, I knew I wanted it to be named after another family member,” recalled Newcomb. “It was the perfect choice.”
“The building next door to Parker’s was available, so we took the chance and bought it,” she shares.
The new addition allowed Newcomb to add a separate full bar and new dining room, offering more seating and a designated bar, in addition to Parker’s bar.
Adding Myrtle’s to Parker’s enhanced Newcomb’s family story.
