Gas Monkey Bar & Grill is Back!

[@jjmar66]

As a local I am super happy to hear you are staying open year round! I don't always enjoy fighting the crowds during rally but I'll definitely be there in the "off" season!

[@joshtchida8433]

As a sturgis resident I really hope you do keep it open year round. I'm so sick of all these people coming in. Opening up for 1 month a year then shutting it all down. It's getting terrible

[@bubblemonkeys]

Its been 4 months, did he do it year round?

[@mrgreezy1]

Being a bar and restaurant consultant and 3rd generation service worker it is my dream to have an opportunity to run a facility like that. It’s something I’ve dreamed of my entire life. I trained every position in bars, nightclubs restaurants etc.. from cooks to security for 25 years. It’s the only business I know. I don’t think these folks know how blessed they actually are. 💯

[@jeraldtillery4817]

I grew up in South Dakota and my grandfather had a house in Sturgis. I had my first rally experience in 1967 when visiting my grandfather. I rode to the rally the first time at 16 for the bicentennial and have been many time since. It's gotten so much bigger (and crazier) over the years. If you offer good food and beer at a reasonable price you can make money there year around.

[@jamesbroderick9106]

@@jeraldtillery4817 your first rally in 1967 oh my. I married a girl from Sturgis. And move there for 4 years. For 49,50th,51,52 The last year of the real Sturgis was the 49th rally. After that every doctor and lawyers showed and such showed up Nice RV nice trailer but you don't really know what the biker life is about. Just because you ride a Harley doesn't mean you know what the rally in Sturgis is truly about. It isn't about how many people show up. It's about the people that show up and understand reality. Talk s*** spit blood. This is what America is lacking a spine and a stiff upper lip

Getting a giant flag was an excellent 1st addition to the new bar. It was nice seeing that y'all seem to know to NEVER let the flag touch the ground & yes, when folded the stars should always be on the outside & when hung or flying. the stars are always to be on the top left... UNLESS in times of "distress", then the flag will be hung/flown upside down. I come from too big a military family with also too much Scouting experience to ever disrespect the Flag.

[@LudiCrust.]

He’s going to lose his a** on this. He’s getting conned by this guy & probably local business men/officials. When you hear them talking about “future growth” based on a culture that’s about to drastically change you know it’s a money grab. Most motorcycle companies won’t be able to survive much longer based on coming climate change laws. Only cars have had to reduce emissions which is why things like leaf blowers lawn mowers (same engines from 40 years ago) & to a lesser extent motorcycles have become bigger polluters but that’s about to change. Within the next 5 or so years they won’t be able to sell them anymore & motorcycles are about to become computerized like cars have. The companies that can’t afford to meet mandated carbon standards will close. For every gas guzzler motorcycle they build they have to make one that’s green to maintain that “neutrality”. Complete wrong time to invest in sturgis.

SD November to mid April the colder months can be pretty Miami brutal not many people doing anything. 6 to 8 years ago there was a show on True TV about that one bar concert venue just outside of Strugis it is only open during the motorcycle rally being closed the rest of the years saves them some money.
