(Hamtramck, MI)

Scooter’s 1600th bar, first visited in 2022.

We almost didn’t stop here because of the party bus parked out front, but we decided to give it a shot. Glad we did, because the party inside didn’t overcrowd the bar and wasn’t obnoxious. And we really liked this place. It reminded us a lot of Wolski’s Tavern in Milwaukee.

The whole room is filled with nostalgic childhood memorabilia — most of it looking to be from about mid 1960s to mid 1980s. And, in a score for me, they had Polish beer so I had Okocim O.K. Beer by Browar Okocim.

They really want to make sure anyone using the men’s room leaves free from both germs and odors.

(Hamtramck, MI)

Scooter’s 1599th bar, first visited in 2022.

Our next spot made out initial short list simply based on the fact that we liked out the exterior looked.

This is a very eclectic neighborhood dive bar — with fancy woodwork juxtaposed with broken floor tile straight from a 1940s elementary school classroom, a row of pinball machines, a pool table, a stage serving as a gift shop, and a bust of a rather fit dude’s chest.

As this is a Polish neighborhood I was hoping for some Polish beer, but alas there was none to be found. So I had Guinness.
