(Atchison, KS)

Scooter’s 970th bar, first visited in 2013.

On the outskirts of town and a little tricky to find. You have to drive down a short gravel road, cross railroad tracks, and pass through a gate to access it.

The bar is rather spacious and quite clean, with lots of seating. There are pool tables darts, and several TVs.

The bar’s original owner drove a milk truck, which inspired the bar’s name. The bar has changed hands a couple of times but has always remained in the family.

Willie’s

(Downtown, Atchison, KS)

Scooter’s 969th bar, first visited in 2013.

In a converted drug store, this place is more restaurant than bar. However the small bar in the back is very nice and has an excellent beer selection. In addition to our drinks we sampled a regional brew called Crazy Eye out of Hiawatha.

Though the main entrance is on Commercial, if you want to just sit at the bar the entrance on 7th Street is the better way in and out.

Mueller’s Locker Room

(Downtown, Atchison, KS)

Scooter’s 968th bar, first visited in 2013.

We were the first customers of the day. They were training a new employee and trying really hard to get us to create more situations to help train her, but since all we ordered was one round of beer we weren’t of much use.

We spotted Pop-a-Shot in the back corner, but I didn’t notice any pool tables. There’s a big deck out back overlooking the Missouri River.

The menu consists of fried food, burgers, wings, and hot sandwiches.

Note: Most maps and GPS devices try to direct you to someone’s house on a dead end street a couple of miles away. It’s actually located on the edge of downtown, just 1 block north of the bridge over the Missouri River.
