(Chillicothe, MO)

Scooter’s 494th bar, first visited in 2008.

We arrived at what is usually a pretty dead time for bars…. the hours between lunch and the after-work crowd. Our bartender seemed bored and lonely. B and I played some trivia as we drank our Budweisers.

This place has the classic grungy dive bar men’s restroom…

Particularly noteworthy is the wall that is so badly deteriorated that you can easy see out into the bar from the men’s room. And, actually, you can see the toilet and urinal quite clearly from out in the bar, too.

Scooter’s 283rd bar, first visited in 2007.

This place was hard to find. Google Maps got us close but we just didn’t see it. We circled around, drove all over, and even called for directions. Finally, with great effort, we found it. It turns out it wasn’t on a street at all but on an “alley” of sorts that looked like the driveway for a nearby trailer house.

The bartender was the owner’s mother, who was watching the final Bob Barker episode of The Price Is Right. She told us that several bars in town have gone under due to younger people moving away but that their place was doing well due to low overhead.

Behind us a wall was completely covered with photos of various parties hosted at the bar.
