Welcome to Full Throttle Saloon, the world's largest biker bar! Owner Michael Ballard opened the original bar in Sturgis in 1999, and after a fire a few years ago, the new location is going strong.

Full Throttle Saloon is the most iconic place to gather during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally every August.

Step inside this huge bar, and you'll see several different bar spaces set up throughout the massive building. This place definitely has personality, and you'll love the vibe here.

The inside of this bar is full of memorabilia and vintage motorcycle parts from years past. You'll want to spend some time just checking out the incredible bar and other furnishings.

Of course, there's a great selection of beer on tap and in cans and bottles here. You certainly won't go thirsty at Full Throttle!

Check out Michael Ballard's line of spirits to make any party even more perfect. There's the Full Throttle 70 Proof Espresso Shot, which is great for mixed drinks or shots.

The bar also carries Margarita Shot, and S'loonshine, which comes in several different flavors. Try them all to see which you like the best, and take a bottle or two home to add to your liquor cabinet.
