Discourse Brewing

scooterj — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 17:10:00 +0000

(Windmill Square, Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 1848th bar, first visited in 2025.

Brought my youngest brother here for some belated birthday beer.

I had the Java Abyss (Kenyan Mito coffee stout) and the World of Shadows (BA imperial coffee stout). Both were so good I bought additional bottles and cans to take home.

scooterj — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 18:12:00 +0000

(Downtown, Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 1430th bar, first visited in 2020.

A restaurant & brewery, in the heart of downtown Overland Park, that also allows home brewers to come in and make their own beer on-site.

I had lunch here and a flight of six beers, including: Science 104 (lager), Mad Science Barrel Project (BA brown ale), Peer Reviewed Caramel Latte Stout (milk stout), Freakin’ Festive AF (spiced milk stout), Across The Pond Dry Stout, and Electric Park Barrel Aged Stout.

JJ’s Cool Change

scooterj — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:16:00 +0000

(Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 766th bar, first visited in 2010.

Wow, how did I not know about this place? A genuine, honest-to-God, real-deal dive bar right in the heart of Overland Park!

Small, dirty, and fun. The jukebox was under the control of a very intoxicated dancing couple, but they were playing good music from the ’70s and early 80s.

There’s pool tables and the bar hosts pool tournaments. There’s a few video games near the front.

The clientelle here seems to be more upper 30s-50s… so a good place to get away from the obnoxious young ones

Llywelyn’s Pub

scooterj — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:10:00 +0000

(Old Stanley, Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 760th bar, first visited in 2010.

This is an amazingly beautiful Irish pub in a converted 19th-century church. The interior features all the original flooring and woodwork, and the bar itself is over a century old.

Irish food, live Irish music, and a great beer selection. This is a great bar.

Cinzetti’s

scooterj — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:10:00 +0000

(Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 755th bar, first visited in 2010.

I’m hesitant to list this as a bar since it’s actually an awesome family Italian buffet restaurant, but I got there too early for a reservation I had and sat at the bar for a while having some drinks. So, under my own rules, I have to count it.

Final Approach Bar & Grill

scooterj — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:23:00 +0000

(Overland Park, KS)
Formerly Mulvaney’s Beef & Brew

Closed, but a new bar has opened in the same location.
Now called Tailgator’s

Scooter’s 481st bar, first visited in 2008.

Formerly Mulvaney’s Beef and Brew, I thought Google Maps was wrong when it identified this place as Final Approach. Nope, it turns out the owner of the popular Tiffany Springs bar of the same name bought Mulvaney’s to open a second location. Our bartender was a transplant from the original location.

Incidentaly the original location has been sold, though it still operates as Final Approach as well.

The internet jukebox was continuously pausing to buffer. Don’t those things download the entire song first??

(Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 205th bar, first visited in 2006.

Stopping here was really more of an afterhought as we weren’t originally planning to. This was one of those deals where we had to make an extra stop in order to relieve our bladders.

(Overland Park, KS)

Scooter’s 201st bar, first visited in 2006.

Since it was Veteran’s Day we wanted to stop in and have a drink with some vets. We bought a round for all the guys in there, but not before one of them had already bought us a round too.
