(Downtown, Shawnee, KS)

Scooter’s 1690th bar, first visited in 2023.

Since my brother wasn’t into the food truck BBQ at the last place, we came over here for burgers instead. I had a couple of bottles of Three Blind Mice (brown ale) from Mother’s Brewing.

Friction Beer Company

(Downtown, Shawnee, KS)

Scooter’s 1689th bar, first visited in 2023.

A fairly new brewery in downtown Shawnee, originally supposed to be in the Crossroads in downtown KC but that location fell through.

We had planned to stay longer, but we were getting pretty hungry and while there was a food truck out front selling BBQ, it wasn’t what my brother (the birthday boy) was into. So we just had one round then went to a restaurant across the street.

I had the My Aim Is True (milk stout)

Transport Brewery

(Downtown, Shawnee, KS)

Scooter’s 1369th bar, first visited in 2019.

This is another spot that was packed when we arrived, but we lucked into seats at the bar. Quite a few people after us had to stand.

Taste of Brazil had a food truck parked out front.

I had the Record Breakin’ (red IPA), Backseat Driver (Belgian Strong), and Broken Rail (brown ale).

Servaes Brewing Company

(Downtown, Shawnee, KS)

Scooter’s 1368th bar, first visited in 2019.

While we were in here I noticed some people I had seen at Sandhills, so we weren’t the only people doing Johnson Drive breweries today.

I had the Rise Up – Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie (stout).

They also had a pretty good selection of beers to-go in 4-packs.

Court Of aPpealS Pub and Grub

(Downtown, Shawnee, KS)

Scooter’s 222nd bar, first visited in 2007.

AKA “C-O-P-S Pub”.

Great little dive in downtown Shawnee. Clean and well maintained with nice bar decor. Jukebox, MegaTouch, and a small “room” in the back houses a pool table. The bar hosts poker and I believe there’s also occasional karaoke or live music.

I thought this ceiling-light beer ad was pretty cool. (Looks much nicer in person.)
