Closed, but a new bar has opened in the same location.
Now called “Bo’s Place”

Scooter’s 105th bar, first visited in 2006.

Office Bar & Grill, Mt Ayr

When we stepped inside we found the bartender sitting in a chair behind the far end of the counter watching soap operas on a little TV she had set up on a stand. After serving our drinks she returned to her soaps and we don’t think she ever said another word. As she watched her show, Brandon scanned the room and spotted a piece of bar decor on a shelf fashioned to look like a bucket of Miller High Lifes.

Scooter’s 104th bar, first visited in 2006.

Smith's Sports & Spirits, Mt Ayr

This place was a lot more of a restaurant but the kitchen was already closed, not reopening again until supper. We sat at the bar towards the back of the dining room to enjoy our drinks and get some info from the bartender about other places in town.
