If you are going to do the Sturgis Rally then you have to hit the FTS

Exploring the Throttle outside of the rally is awesome! The talent and dedication put into making this an atmosphere like no other!

Amazing decor and great food however, the service is terrible-from extremely rude and inattentive waitresses to unprofessional managers. This is my first negative review of a restaurant but it felt necessary with 3/4 visits being awful.

If you haven't been here, you owe it to yourself to take the time. Bring your camera. It's part museum part venue part bar

Stopped by The Full Throttle Saloon while I was rolling through South Dakota, and man… this place is straight outta a biker’s dream. It’s not your average bar — it’s more like a small city built for people who like loud music, cold beer, and a crowd that knows how to party.
The setup is massive — outdoor stages, bikes lined up everywhere, food trucks, even camping spots if you wanna crash for the night. The live bands were solid, the beer was cold, and everyone there just had good energy. It’s the kind of spot where you meet folks from all over the country and end up talking bikes like you’ve known each other for years.
Only downside was the prices — drinks and food were a bit steep, and if you go during rally week it’s shoulder-to-shoulder busy. You’ll wait a bit to get served, but honestly, that’s just part of the chaos that makes the place what it is.
If you’re ever in the area during the Sturgis Rally, you have to check it out. It’s loud, wild, and definitely something you won’t forget anytime soon.
Would I go back?
Absolutely — but next time I’m bringing earplugs and a bigger wallet.

We didn't eat there. It was a bucket list item for me! The atmosphere is so incredible. I just stopped several times to just take it all in. I've watched the show for years. Although its not the original it is still so freaking cool! Me, my mom and my cousin are going to come back for rally (hopefully) to check that off my list. You will NOT be disappointed

I just visited a couple months before the rally picked up a couple t-shirts and looked around.

Fantastic biker bar! Great stop while at the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Cold beer and wild ladies. Lots of memories can be made in a few short moments. Lots of things to see, not to mention the metal artwork in the parking lot that is overflowing with motorcycles of all kinds. Please be careful and mind the speed limits. Enjoy!

We stopped in early with 1 car in the lot. Was met by employee Kim what a sweetheart. Took us on a 1on1 walk through the bar and property. What an experience to get the history of the saloon. We did some tasting and then gift shop to buy some items. Absolutely 1 of the best experiences I have had on a trip. Thank you so much. Tom from Ohio

We visited in the off season. My son passed away to suicide 2 years ago and Sturgis ams full throttle saloon was on his bucket list. I left a small memorial on a fence post to honor his memory.
Just stopped by to see the place/bought a t-shirt if you know about the motorcycle rally /you probably heard of this place.
