Scooter’s 1116th bar, first visited in 2015.

Hot Pockets is a pretty good sized pool hall, tucked between a pizza joint and a grocery store. The L-shaped bar is in the far back.

Being from KC we aren’t used to bars that allow smoking, and this was the smokiest of the bunch today. Because of that we tried to drink quickly and move on, until one of our group members noticed the pinball machine in the corner.

Scooter’s 1115th bar, first visited in 2015.

Everything in here, including the floor and ceiling, is well-aged wood.

Granted, we were here during the late afternoon, but this seems to be a pretty laid back place. I wouldn’t quite call this a sports bar, though they are big into watching sports here. They do appear to have a small amount of food service, including tacos, chili dogs, etc. They host karaoke and bands from time to time.

Outside the west door (the main entrance if entering from the parking lot) is a great little half-covered patio with outdoor heat.

Sometimes you just have to get creative as to where you’re going to be able to mount the toilet paper.
