Event Details

Fall is upon us, so in the afternoon of October 7 we return to Hardware Sustainable Gastropub for a laid-back Porsches & Pilsners event. Hardware is a club favorite and the perfect place to start, or finish, a nice drive in the Illinois countryside, or to just hang out with friends. Bruce Burns, Managing Partner at Hardware will have their Brunino Italian Pilsner ready on tap, along with several other fine craft beers brewed onsite.

Park your Porsche in the large lot, check out the beautiful cars, and say hello to your friends. Grab a cold one and relax on the patio, or inside at the bar. Feel like some food? You are in the right place! Make a reservation on your own for whatever time you prefer, before, during or after our event. Hardware is open 12 noon until midnight on Saturdays. Making a reservation helps Bruce and the great staff plan ahead, but they will do their best to accommodate walk-ins. There is no plan for us to sit down as a large group, so you and your friends will need to arrange any dining plans on your own. You can make a dinner reservation via Open Table, here.

Hardware has an amazing menu, featuring fresh greens grown onsite, fruits and nuts from their gardens, and meats prepared in-house. And just so you know, in addition to their fine beers, the bar features 400 whiskeys from around the world. Take a look at the Hardware website and menu here.

Remember, we have a Great Drive that lands at Hardware posted on our website, here.

Please register at Club Registration for this event so that we can inform you of any last-minute details that might arise.

See you there, rain or shine!

We are going back in for another great Porsches and Pastries at one of our favorite venues. Help us celebrate the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign of giving to children in need by making a toy donation at this event.

We will be accepting unwrapped, new toys still in their original boxes/containers. Stuffed animals and toy weapons that have a realistic look to them cannot be accepted. If you find yourself unable to pick up some toys in time and still want to make a donation, we will have a QR code posted at the event that will direct you to the Toys for Tots donation page. How cool is that?

Please register in advance…we want to give our hosts an idea of how many members are coming and to permit us to reach you if there are any last minute changes. Please include the total number in your party.

As always, please wear your Club name tags to help new members feel welcome. And be sure to say hello to the U.S. Marine Corps volunteers attending this event!

Lastly, remember to be nice to the neighbors when entering and leaving the event. We want them to ask us back in the spring!

See you there!
