The Plan: A Step-by-Step Method for a Flawless Date Night
- Start at the bar! You’ve got two easy options: Sit at the bar for full service and a chance to chat with our friendly staff or grab a table if you’d rather order at the counter for a more casual experience.
- Pair a Flight with Your Food: We highly recommend a shared experience to kick off your date. Order a whiskey flight or a moonshine flight to sample our in-house spirits. You can talk about the different flavors and see how they pair perfectly with our slow-smoked meats. It’s a fun and knowledgeable way to start the meal.
- Share the Fun: A great way to connect is to share a mix of our appetizers. We are currently perfecting a more streamlined menu, and our appetizers are a great choice for a shared experience. You can get our pork belly bites or other delicious shareable plates. If you’d rather have your own meal, our burgers and sandwiches are fantastic, and you’ll still find plenty to talk about.
Live Music!
This is a big part of the vibe and the experience at Full Throttle. Enjoy a fun, high-energy atmosphere that can break the ice and keep the conversation flowing. The mix of good food, great spirits, and fantastic music is a winning combination for any date night.
