(Armourdale, Kansas City, KS)

Scooter’s 357th bar, first visited in 2007.

This was a bonus bar, we were actually heading next door to a place called Carol’s Place that for whatever reason was not open.

This place, open for only a few months now, was really nice and looking to be proving quite popular. It was very clean with a great smell (how often can you say that about a bar?) and they were serving up the Saturday taco special. Our bartender was the owner and was terrific. This may have been the most expensive bar of the day, as well as in this area, but it looks like it’s going to do very well.

Oasis: the Club

(Armourdale, Kansas City, KS)

Scooter’s 356th bar, first visited in 2007.

This was another rough looking place but we were comfortable enough to sit and play several rounds at the trivia box. The restroom however was one of the nastiest I’ve seen. The sink was grimey enough that B wouldn’t use it, figuring it would make his hands dirtier. The toilet was clogged with cigarette butts, and the trash can had been put to use as a toilet.

Alibi’s

(Armourdale, Kansas City, KS)

Scooter’s 355th bar, first visited in 2007.

This almost went on the list of places that refused to serve us, but a customer “remembered” B and vouched for us to get us in. We of course reciprocated with a beer. And, B and D had actually been here before and never had a problem until now.

Casino Bar

(Armourdale, Kansas City, KS)

Scooter’s 354th bar, first visited in 2007.

With an interior finish of the finest particle board, this place looked like it had the potential to get pretty rough. There were several interesting characters about, but most of the people were pretty pleasant. The bartender was particularly helpful as he tried to explain the concept of KCK’s private clubs and why some serve us and others don’t.

Country Cabaret Club

(Armourdale, Kansas City, KS)

Scooter’s 353rd bar, first visited in 2007.

This was like being in an entirely different world. The ultimate Mexican country-western bar experience. The bartender passing out free homemade tamales as the sounds of donkeys braying punctuate the music. The men’s room was unusual too, facing the bar with only a partial saloon door offering any semblance of privacy.

Inside the men’s room we noticed that evidently condom peddlers are patriotic and support right-wing conservative issues:
