Scooter’s 261st bar, first visited in 2007.

Brownie's, Abilene

B had Bud Light, I had Coors Light. $1.50 for a 12 oz. draw.

This place had a pretty impressive stock of canned and bottled beers. The bartender gave us a detailed overview of how Kansas’s liquour laws worked and all the different types of establishments you could be. She also reminded us that we were drinking 3.2 beer, which almost made it feel like we were cheating.

It was about an hour from the start of karaoke but we didn’t have time to stick around. We were going to have to skip any remaining towns if we were ever going to make it to Salina.

Scooter’s 260th bar, first visited in 2007.

Downsouth Tavern, Abilene

We both had Bud. $1.50 for a 12 oz. draw.

We were seated next to a guy who told us about the four bars in town, about a place that he sometimes described as a liquor store and then other times described as a bar, and which streets we needed to avoid so that we didn’t get pulled over and arrested for DUI. He also wanted to talk a lot about Westport.
