(Plaza, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 7th bar, first visited in 2002.

I’ve only been here once. The crowd was pretty much a mix of fratty and JoCo-ish, not the kind of place I like.

re:Verse

Closed, but a new bar has opened in the same location.
Closed September 2010 when landlord didn’t renew lease. Owner hopes to re-open in a new location soon.

The former re:Verse location reopened in Feb 2011 as Coal Vines.

Scooter’s 6th bar, first visited in 2002.

Pretty trendy and upscale. Can be a relaxing environment when it’s not so busy that people are pressed against you.

Longbranch Saloon

OUT OF BUSINESS

Scooter’s 0th bar, first visited in 1989.

This sports bar was located in the dark, carpeted basement of the former Seville Square shopping mall, near the One Hour Photo and around the corner from the old Seville Square movie theater. It was a fun sports bar with good food, and had a sarcastic theme. “Home of the Meanest Waitresses in Kansas City” was the tagline, if I remember correctly.

I came here several times in college, both before and after I was of legal drinking age. I am numbering this as “Bar 0″ and not including it in the total count because I cannot remember if I ever actually had a beer or other adult beverage here. Nonetheless, it is part of my bar history so it does deserve mention.
