The Story
VibeThe classic downtown Sturgis biker bar. Brick walls, long wood bars, chrome everywhere, and the smell of a working brewery next door.
Built inside the shell of a century-old downtown building, The Knuckle takes its name from the Harley Knucklehead engine. It's home to Knuckle Brewing Co., one of the first craft breweries in the Black Hills, and hosts the annual Rat's Hole custom bike show during Rally.

Full bar plus a rotating tap of Knuckle Brewing beers — the Grunt IPA and Sturgis Amber are the go-tos.
