Peacock Alley – Patterson Hotel in Downtown Bismarck July 2014

Peacock Alley is a bar and restaurant located in the former lobby of the Patterson Hotel. Peacock Alley has a reputation as an upper scale dining establishment, and prides itself as continuing the former hotel’s reputation as a hotspot for local politicians and businessman to gather. The restaurant displays many historic pictures of the building.

When hotel operations ceased at the Patterson in the 1970s, the rooms were converted into senior apartments, and the lobby soon became home to Peacock Alley.

Peacock Alley underwent new ownership in 2010, when Dale and Melodie Zimmerman purchased the entity from Mary Barbere, who had owned the popular business since 1998.
