The old Buttai Barn has been transformed into Full Throttle Ranch and will officially open its doors to the public this week.
The American-themed venue, designed to offer a taste of southern hospitality, is the brainchild of Mick Tyrell and Sara Berg.
“After almost 5 years of hard work, planning, and dreaming, fighting almost every step of the way to make it perfect and just the way we envisaged it, we are finally able to say that we are opening Full Throttle Ranch to the world,” Mick said.
“When Sara and I bought the Ranch, we had a dream to build a place that everyone would want to come to. A place that people from all walks of life can come together, where everyone is equal, and they can leave the rest of the world behind, feel at home and safe, and enjoy some good food, good music, and a good drink.
“A place we can all agree that we all need in this world, where we can just be ourselves and run wild!”
The venue offers an authentic American experience, taking inspiration from Southern ranches in the USA. With award-winning BBQ cooked on one of the world’s largest reverse flow smokers, The Undertaker.
The venue’s expansion includes an outdoor deck and a large open space, perfect for hosting future outdoor events.
Inside, the venue is outfitted with upmarket facilities that offer both comfort and style, encapsulating the essence of a Texan ranch with a modern twist. And behind the bar, you’ll find a premium selection of drinks, including Full Throttle’s own brew and homemade moonshine.
The venue is also offering up a smorgasbord for live music lovers. Their house band, The Outlaws, will play classic tunes from legends like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, and they’ll be welcoming acts from around the country, including Kingswood, who will perform at the venue on 11 July.
Full Throttle Ranch will open on 4 July 2025 and will be open Friday through Sunday. You can find it at 160 Lings Road, Buttai or visit fullthrottleranch.com.au.
