<p><b style="font-size:14px;color: #40B033;">Scooter&#8217;s 1688th bar, first visited in 2023.</b></nobr> <br /><br> <center> <img class='img600' src="http://www.scootersbars.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1688.jpg" alt="Vine Street Brewing Company, Kansas City"> </center> <br /> After an hour delay to go inside caused by them changing their hours in the week since I checked them, I brought my youngest brother here for his 40th birthday. </p>
<p>This is Missouri&#8217;s first Black-owned brewery.  When the new opening time hit, every car door on Vine opened.   Within minutes the brewery went from empty to standing room only on both levels. </p>
<p>I started to order a flight, but then as hey were making it they realized one of the beers I&#8217;d asked for were not eligible for flights due to how it needs to be poured.   So they called the two they had already poured me &#8220;free samples&#8221; and I ordered a full pour of their flagship beer. (Jazzman, a black lager, the one that couldn&#8217;t be included in a flight.) </p>
<p>The other two beers I tried (the two redeclared as &#8220;free samples&#8221;) were the East 71 (cream ale) and the Midnight Mississippi (stout). </p>

<p><b style="font-size:14px;color: #40B033;">Scooter&#8217;s 999th bar, first visited in 2013.</b></nobr> <br /><br> <center> <img class='img600' src="http://www.scootersbars.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/999.jpg" alt="Mutual Musicians Foundation, Kansas City"> </center> <br /> I came here on the last leg of a 21st birthday party.  The birthday girl didn&#8217;t make it this far, but I had been putting this one off for far too long.  I made it to 3am without following asleep, what&#8217;s another hour or two?  <img src='http://www.scootersbars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>A registered historic landmark, musicians have been gathering here after-hours every weekend since the 1930s to hold jam sessions until sunrise. </p>
<p>Because of the nature of this tradition, the club room opens at midnight on weekends and doesn&#8217;t really get hopping until around 3:00am.  For decades the city looked the other way, but a complaint in 2006 forced enforcement of the  liquor laws.  Unable to serve drinks any longer, attendance fell off and the Foundation was in danger of failure. </p>
<p>Thankfully the cultural importance of this institution was recognized, and special legislation was passed in 2007 making this the one and only place in the entire state of Missouri licensed to serve drinks all night long. </p>
<p>But if you&#8217;re here only for the uniqueness of drinking past 3am in Kansas City, you&#8217;re missing out on the main attraction.   The music here is fantastic.   Kansas City&#8217;s best have been jamming here for nearly 9 decades, this is a place to go to listen to great music while the beer you buy helps keep the lights on.  <img src='http://www.scootersbars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
