The Milwaukee Rally has returned for 2021 with events beginning today through Sept. 6. And Central Standard Crafthouse & Kitchen, 320 E. Clybourn St., is welcoming motorcycle riders with a special pay-it-forward BOGO offer and a custom Milwaukee Rally Mule cocktail.
Throughout the weekend, riders can take advantage of a special offer at the newly minted venue, which features a dining room, full bar and rooftop patio.
“Show us your bike, buy a fellow rider a drink and your first cocktail featuring our Red Cabin Bourbon, Door County Cherry Vodka or North Wisconsin Brandy* is on us,” explains co-founder Evan Hughes.
“We love the brotherhood and camaraderie of biking culture and want riders to check out our all-new space.”

Central Standard mixologists will also be on hand crafting special Milwaukee Rally Mule cocktails for guests. The drink which features Central Standard’s Door County Cherry Vodka, freshly squeezed lime juice and ginger beer will be available this weekend only.
"Our Crafthouse & Kitchen is only a few-block ride from the Milwaukee rally’s epicenter,” notes co-founder Pat McQuillan, “And we’d love to see a line of bikes parked out front of our new place."
