MILWAUKEE (Jan. 3, 2019) – Make a resolution this new year to stop by MOTOR® Bar & Restaurant, located on the Harley-Davidson Museum® campus, and enjoy a winter-time classic like Chicken Pot Pie or join in fun festivities. From a party fit for the King to the return of the Monster BBQ Pit Burger, there’s plenty of fun and good food to be had at MOTOR this month.
January highlights include:
Elvis Celebration
Celebrate Elvis’s birthday in style at the H-D Museum™ with special gallery talks, while MOTOR serves up a dessert that the King himself would love. Available on Tuesday, Jan. 8, try a Banana Cream Pie In A Jar that’s drizzled with peanut butter sauce and topped with candied bacon.

Observe the finest arts in Milwaukee as you discover new galleries, explore museums, browse unique shops and much more on Gallery Night, Friday, Jan. 18.

Monster Jam roars into the H-D Museum on Friday, Jan. 18 from noon to 1 p.m. just in time for the Milwaukee Public Schools Mitten Drive. Museumgoers can meet drivers, get autographs and receive free admission with a mitten donation.

Beers of the Month

Hinterland Luna Coffee Stout: Perfected over months of experiments, brewers use toasty malt flavors to balance out the bitter coffee finish.
Hinterland IPA: A mellow malt undertone eases the tension between heavy hops and citrus notes in this brew that pairs well with spicy foods.
