(Gardner, KS)

Scooter’s 1499th bar, first visited in 2021.

This wasn’t intended to be the last stop of the day, but the pizza and cookies at the previous place filled my stomach and it was a struggle to find room for the beer I tried here.

I had the Hypothesis (NEIPA), Validation (cream ale), Equilibrium (American IPA), and Magnetism (oatmeal stout).

Austins Bar & Grill

(Gardner, KS)

Scooter’s 475th bar, first visited in 2008.

Like Wally’s, another small regional strip mall bar & grill chain. I had a Guinness, while B & D had Bud Select. B&D opted for 20oz draws since they were cheaper, so we played trivia in order to allow them time to finish.

(Gardner, KS)

Scooter’s 473rd bar, first visited in 2008.

Everyone keeps trying to sell us more beer than we want evern though we’re fine with paying a higher price for single draws. We ended up settling on a mini-pitcher of Bud Select.

BJ’s Oasis

(Gardner, KS)

Scooter’s 472nd bar, first visited in 2008.

This was the darkest bar we went to by far. We were blind for a few moments upon entering, then re-blinded when we stepped back outside.

We all had Bud Light draws.

I took a break to use the restroom. The restroom area had an exterior sink and 2 unmarked doors for the toilets. While I was taking care of business I noticed that all of the graffiti was in women’s handwriting.

“I don’t know if it matters which door you choose,” I said upon returning, “but if it does, I choose poorly.”

B & D started snickering, both having chosen the correct door. I went back for another look and discovered that the men’s room was indeed labeled, in marker, but the text was visible only if standing directly in front of it.

We all dug the antique cigarette machine. It was currently empty but the owner said it does indeed still work.
