About Full Throttle Saloon

Full Throttle Saloon is a multi-purpose outdoor entertainment complex in Sturgis, South Dakota, widely promoted as the world’s largest biker bar. It originally opened in 1999, and after the original location burned down in a 2015 fire, the operation relocated to its current grounds on Highway 34 east of Sturgis. Founded and owned by Michael Ballard, Full Throttle Saloon accommodates tens of thousands across its open-air grounds during peak rally events, with capacity varying widely by event and configuration.

The venue is built around motorcycle culture, live music, and the high-energy crowds of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Its event mix includes live music concerts spanning rock, classic rock, metal, and country, along with biker rally events, bike shows and contests, stunt and motorsports attractions, vendor expos, and bar and nightlife entertainment. Operations peak dramatically during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in early-to-mid August each year.

Full Throttle Saloon also gained national visibility through the reality television series “Full Throttle Saloon,” which aired on truTV and chronicled rally-season operations at the venue.

Location & Transportation

Full Throttle Saloon is located at 12997 SD Highway 34, Sturgis, SD 57785 — in a rural Black Hills setting east of Sturgis and closely tied to the annual rally traffic that fills the area each August.

Driving and Parking: Access is overwhelmingly by motorcycle and car. On-site and surrounding open-ground parking and motorcycle staging are the norm during rally week, with significant traffic congestion along approach roads during peak events. Arriving early is especially important for major concert nights and high-demand rally events.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxi availability is limited in the rural Sturgis area and becomes stretched during the rally. Plan transportation in advance and expect waits after large events when crowds leave the grounds.

Nearby Accommodation: On-site and adjacent camping is a primary lodging option for Full Throttle Saloon visitors. Hotels and motels in Sturgis, Spearfish, Deadwood, and Rapid City also serve the area, while RV and tent camping across the Black Hills is widely used. During rally week, rooms book far in advance and command premium rates.

Venue Navigation

Full Throttle Saloon is a large, open-air complex spread across multiple bar areas, concert stages, vendor rows, camping zones, and attraction areas. Understanding the layout before you arrive helps you move efficiently between the main stage, food and drink areas, vendor zones, and rally attractions.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter the open-air grounds through gated entry points off the highway. Because the complex spreads across outdoor grounds, your first priority after entry should be heading toward the stage, bar area, vendor row, or attraction zone connected to your event plans.

Getting to Your Section: The grounds are large and outdoor, with open terrain and gravel or dirt surfaces. Expect considerable walking between stages, bars, vendor areas, and attractions, especially during rally week when crowds are heavy and activity is spread across the complex.

Dining Options

Inside Full Throttle Saloon

Full Throttle Saloon has multiple bars and concession or food vendors operating across the complex. Alcohol service is central to the experience during rally events, and food and drink areas are part of the venue’s open-air, festival-style layout. Lines can build around headline performance times, so building in extra time before the main act helps keep your night moving.

Outside the Venue — Sturgis and the Black Hills

Dining near Full Throttle Saloon is concentrated in Sturgis and surrounding Black Hills communities, including Deadwood, Spearfish, and Rapid City.

Security & Policies

How Much Do Tickets to Full Throttle Saloon Cost?

Full Throttle Saloon ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from daily grounds access to VIP and premium concert packages during rally week.

General admission and daily grounds access can start in a modest single- to low-double-digit range, with some access tied to rally passes. These tickets typically fit the venue’s open-air, festival-style setup and are the most accessible way to experience the grounds.

Headliner concert tickets are usually mid-range, commonly priced in the tens of dollars for general admission. Demand is driven by the performing act, the event date within the rally, and the number of fans traveling into Sturgis for that specific night.

VIP and premium concert packages are higher-priced options and can range well into the hundreds. These listings can include premium viewing or hospitality benefits for select headline concerts during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Rally-week events and lodging sell out and rise sharply in price as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally approaches. Buying earlier secures better options and pricing, especially for headline concerts, premium packages, and high-demand rally dates.

• Premium and suite options: VIP packages and premium viewing or hospitality areas — offered for select headline concerts during the rally for fans who want an upgraded experience.

Getting Ready for Your Full Throttle Saloon Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor venue like this during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested or unreliable in the rural Black Hills area during rally week when crowds surge. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Build in extra time during rally week to manage heavy highway traffic and parking congestion around the Sturgis area.
• Wear the right footwear. Full Throttle Saloon has outdoor grounds with gravel, dirt, and open terrain, so sturdy, closed footwear is a smart choice. Expect dust and uneven surfaces as you move between stages, bars, and attractions.
• Dress in layers. The open-air venue is exposed to summer heat, sun, afternoon storms, and cool Black Hills evenings. Bring sun protection and layers so you are prepared from daytime activity through late-night music.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Rally-week traffic can be heavy on the highways and approach roads around Sturgis, especially near peak event times.
• Know your entrance. Knowing the stage or area you are headed for helps you navigate the large, spread-out grounds efficiently once you arrive.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
