	<h4 class="sub-section-container-title">Main Street</strong</h4>
	<p class="section-separator"></p>
</div>
<p>Next on our list is <strong>Main Street Sturgis</strong>. This is a great place to explore unique custom bikes, clothing vendors, and restaurants. The iconic <a href="https://www.thedungeonbar.com/"><strong>Dungeon Bar</strong></a> is located at the heart of Main Street, which is one of the oldest biker bars in Sturgis. Stop by to grab a cold drink and check out the exquisite d&eacute;cor. The <a href="https://www.theknuckle.com/"><strong>Knuckle Saloon</strong></a> is another great pit-stop. Enjoy this antique motorcycle museum while treating yourself to some wings and beer, what more could you possibly ask for?</p>

<div class="new-section-container">
	<h4 class="sub-section-container-title">Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame</strong</h4>

<div class="new-section-container">
	<h4 class="sub-section-container-title">Olympic Sized Pool – Full Throttle Saloon</strong</h4>
	<p class="section-separator"></p>
</div>
<p>With Sturgis Rally held during the Summertime, it can get a little toasty! We recommend the Olympic-sized pool at <a href="https://fullthrottlesaloon.com/pages/pappy-hoel-campground"><strong>Full Throttle Saloon</strong></a> to cool down and have some fun. Enjoy upbeat music, pool-side games, and bikini contests while recharging your riding muscles. Full Throttle Saloon will also be hosting concerts for Sturgis Rally 2021, so you can stay and play all day and night.</p>
<p>Full Throttle Saloon is one of the largest Biker Bars in the world, housed in a 26,000 square foot building. If you need a break from the pool party scene, the bar is filled with motorcycle memorabilia, vintage d&eacute;cor, and dinner buffets.</p>
<p>So, no matter what your cup of tea, or in this case, beer is, Sturgis has a little bit of something for everyone. We highly recommend exploring as much as possible as there is never any shortage of events or places and sights to see during this iconic motorcycle rally. So saddle up and hit the road to the 81<sup>st</sup> Annual Sturgis Rally with these helpful hotspots in mind.</p>
