Bridging the Full Throttle World's Largest Bikers Bar / Saloon at Sturgis

Описание: Full Throttle Saloon, known as the world's largest biker bar, was founded in 1999 in Sturgis, South Dakota, and gained fame through its reality TV series before being destroyed by a fire in 2015.

Full Throttle Saloon was established in 1999 by Michael Ballard, who purchased 30 acres of land in Sturgis. The saloon quickly became a popular destination, especially during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which occurs every August. The venue featured multiple bars, stages for live music, a burn-out pit, and accommodations for thousands of motorcycles, attracting up to 20,000 guests each night during the rally.

In 2009, the saloon was featured in a reality television series that aired on truTV, chronicling the daily operations and events at the bar. The show ran for five seasons until 2014, showcasing the vibrant atmosphere and the unique culture surrounding the biker community.

On September 8, 2015, a devastating fire destroyed the Full Throttle Saloon. The fire was reportedly caused by a pinched power cord that overheated and ignited nearby materials. This incident marked a significant turning point for the establishment, as it was a total loss. The series finale of the reality show aired shortly after the fire, covering the aftermath and the owners' plans for the future.

Following the fire, Michael Ballard and his team decided to rebuild the saloon. In 2016, they relocated and established a new Full Throttle Saloon at a different site, which is now part of the Pappy Hoel Resort and Campground. The new location continues to host events and concerts, maintaining the spirit of the original saloon.

Today, the Full Throttle Saloon remains a popular destination for bikers and visitors, offering live music, food, and a vibrant atmosphere that celebrates motorcycle culture. The owners continue to engage with the community and host various events throughout the year.
