Primitive Olde Crow Winery

(Clinton, MO)

Scooter’s 1747th bar, first visited in 2024.

This winery, located behind an associated highway-facing general store, is dog-friendly (dogs even allowed inside) and serves wood fired pizza in a separate dining area from the wine bar. There is also an ice cream stand and a gift shop, while the general store around front has a wider array of ice cream, fudge, desserts, hot sandwiches, and many more items for purchase. There’s also a dog park next to the general store.

We both had wine tasting flights, which included generous samples of all of the wines on their menu.

(Clinton, MO)

Scooter’s 1064th bar, first visited in 2014.

More duck-hunting themed restaurant than bar, though there was enough room at the small corner bar for our group to sit. though we only got drinks, we perused the menu and it looked interesting enough for us to come back.

Vikings USA Bootheel MO #133

(Downtown Square, Clinton, MO)

Scooter’s 1002nd bar, first visited in 2013.

It was a little afternoon on a cold day-before-Thanksgiving, and I walked around Clinton’s historic square looking for a good place to step in for a beer while everyone else in my group shopped.

I made one pass around the square to get the lay of the land. I narrowed down my options and began a second pass to make my choice. But I was dismayed to find that everything either looked a little too upscale for my taste, or was closed.

When I reached the northeast corner or the second time I glanced north along Main Street. Something told me “There just has to be a good old fashioned dive up this block somewhere.” My senses were right.

Located 1 block north of the east side of the square, this Vikings Bootheel club is exactly the type of place I like to find for day drinking. Cheap, smoky, a pool table in the back, and just couple of guys my age or older sitting back drinking canned beer.
