Established in 2000 and built on land once owned by Colonel Samuel D. Sturgis, The Knuckle Saloon has become a cornerstone of the Sturgis experience. Named after the famous Knucklehead engine, The Knuckle is much more than a bar – it’s a living tribute to biker culture. Located in downtown Sturgis, it boasts the city’s longest bar, unforgettable live music, extreme bull riding events, and a massive collection of motorcycle memorabilia and antiques. Open year-round, The Knuckle Saloon offers visitors a chance to step into the beating heart of the Black Hills.
