Fire destroyed the Full Throttle Saloon, a Sturgis (SD) establishment that reportedly billed itself as the “world’s largest biker bar.”

Crews from the Sturgis Volunteer Fire Department responded to the bar at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday and found heavy smoke coming from the building, according to a report on the Argus Leader.
