(Downtown, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 683rd bar, first visited in 2010.

This is an extremely popular Mexican restaurant. The bar is a separate room in front, it is fairly tiny and was packed shoulder to shoulder during my Saturday afternoon visit.

Tanner’s Bar & Grill

(Downtown, Kansas City, MO)

OUT OF BUSINESS
Tanner’s downtown location usually attracted decent crowds but was notorious for poor service. It closed in 2008.

Scooter’s 4th bar, first visited in 2002.

Popular but average sports bar. Large main level space plus a separate bar downstairs that I have not yet been to. Food is good but nothing spectacular. Unlike the Waldo location, this place is notorious for poor service so expect long waits — especially if you are seated at a table.

The Quaff

scooterj — Tue, 02 Oct 2001 17:10:00 +0000

(Downtown, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 3rd bar, first visited in 2001.

The Quaff is a pretty popular sports bar in downtown Kansas City. The main bar is fairly small, but two additional rooms create a large open space that can hold a pretty big crowd. All the sports bar staples are here: multiple big screens, pool tables, pop-a-shot, foozball, Golden Tee, darts, etc. They have a good selection of beer and the food is excellent for bar food. They even serve breakfast.

This was my gang’s first frequent hangout and the first place I ever achieved “regular” status.

If you start a tab, make sure you close it with cash instead of leaving it on your card. They add a surcharge if you pay with credit. Also look at your bill closely, this place is notorious for trying to slip extra drinks onto the tabs of unsuspecting customers. Screwing us over one too many times is why we no longer go here. (Though I still go for lunch on occasion.)
