  • Best Restaurants in Sturgis

    Hamburger, Fries, and Cola Clip Art ImageTripAdvisor recently updated their list of the 10 best restaurants in Sturgis. Several of the top listings are food establishments that cater to the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and simply won’t be available to all visitors, but two of the top three restaurants are local favorites open year round.

    The Knuckle Saloon earned the #2 spot, and along with the Knuckle Brewery is one of the most popular destinations year round in downtown Sturgis. The #3 spot was taken by Jambonz Grill & Pub, which features a well rounded menu with a bit of southern flair that attracts not only residents by many travelers passing through the area on I-90.

  • Jerry Cole, new Sturgis Rally and Events Director

    Jerry Cole began in his new position with the City of Sturgis as the Rally and Events Director on Monday, December 28, 2015. Jerry Cole, who has a long history in government work will be the man primarily responsible for organizing the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on behalf of the City of Sturgis. Although the Rally has become more of a Black Hills area event, and has really outgrown its roots in Sturgis, it remains the center of the area activities and Sturgis Main Street remains the one must visit spot when in the area for the [in?]famous Rally Week.

    Mr. Cole acted as Director of the Parks and Recreation Department of nearby Rapid City for 8 years from 2004-2012, and more recently served as Executive Director of the Hill City and then Dickinson Chambers of Commerce.

    He has been known as someone who will buck authority and the status-quo to get things done, ostensibly the rationale for his dismissal as Parks and Recreation Director by the former Rapid City Mayor. If Mr. Cole lives up to this reputation as he takes the reigns of the Rally in Sturgis, it could serve to change the dynamic of what many consider a “Good ol’ Boys Club” of politics and money surrounding the Rally.
