Scooter’s 1114th bar, first visited in 2015.

Back on that date, we were at a bar called Stingers (now called “The Flamingo”), and the bartender had written directions to a couple of nearby bars on post-it notes for us. One of them was Joletta’s, but were unable to find it and eventually gave up when we stumbled across Twilighter Country Club (now “Rumba Club”) — where our experience made up for getting lost.

Joletta’s is known for karaoke and also hosts life bands regularly. The L-shaped bar anchors the center of big floorspace, with a large open area at one end for bands and (presumably) dancing. There are two dart boards, we did not see any pool tables. A covered patio is nestled at the front of the building.

We enjoyed our visit quite a bit, mostly due to the really nice bartender.

Scooter’s 1113th bar, first visited in 2015.

This is a biker bar, and it’s big. Lots of places to tuck away to with your drinks. Bras hang from everything. There’s an exhibit, behind glass, of various biker related items and oddball items.

Outside there’s a complex system of patios, a stage, some bikes fixed-in-place that I’m not sure if you’re supposed to sit on but some of us did, and a beat-up old bus that’s been converted into a drinking area.

On with the pictures!
