Scooter’s 684th bar, first visited in 2010.

Savoy Grill, Kansas City

Given that this bar is located inside what could be considered downtown’s ritziest restaurant, I was really surprised that they allowed my group of jeans-wearing guys in off the street to have a drink at the bar. But they did, and our bartender was a really cool guy and fun to chat with.

OUT OF BUSINESS
Closed in 2007. Started to re-open as The Belfry but that went under before it got going.

Scooter’s 28th bar, first visited in 2005.

Drafter's, Kansas City

Nice little neighborhood/after-work bar & grill. Huge, relaxing space in an old Garment District converted warehouse. Occasional free buffets. Love the off-the-beaten-path location.
