Visiting Estes Park and wondering where to grab a drink that’s more than just a drink?

Every season, people pour into town for the scenery, the hikes, and the small-town charm. But once the adventure winds down, most don’t want to settle for an average bar. You’re looking for something with flavor, a great setting, and a little personality.

That’s where Full Throttle Distillery comes in, whiskey, smoked meats, and some of the best views around.

Full Throttle Distillery in Estes Park sits on Moraine Avenue, just minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Between the high-elevation air, the scenic backdrop, and the welcoming vibe, it’s the kind of spot that makes a drink feel like an experience.

We make our own whiskey, moonshine, and vodka on-site, small batches crafted with care. Stop in for a tasting flight and find a new favorite. If you’re not a whiskey expert, don’t worry, our staff will help you pick the perfect pour.

And yes, the patio offers open-air seating with a view that’s tough to beat.

Make Your Visit Something Better With Our Food!

Our grill serves brisket, pulled pork, burgers, ribs, and plenty more. All made fresh. The menu also includes vegetarian options and gluten-free sides, so everyone in your group can enjoy the meal.
