(West 39th, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 1604th bar, first visited in 2023.

I’ve never been in here before because I’m rarely in this part of town during the hours this place is open. Finally got a chance to today when an after-after-party of the after-party of a funeral decided to come here.

While I opted not to mark this as “sports bar”, one of the regulars told me he comes here specifically to watch games om the ample supply of big-screen TVs.

Gilhouly’s

scooterj — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:14:00 +0000

(West 39th, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 86th bar, first visited in 2006.

The bartender had not arrived yet and the only person who could legally get us a beer was the owner, who was outside dealing with an A/C issue. After a while he was able to come in and pour for us. As he set our beers in front of us the actual bartender arrived.

When we finished our beers B went to go use the restroom. “Need another round?” the bartender asked me. “Naw, we have to get going,” I said. “Did you already pay him?” she asked, pointing to the owner. “Yep, we’re square,” I said, honestly believing Brandon had already paid.

I then went to the restroom myself, and when I came back out, I saw B at the counter paying our tab.

Whoops!

I promise, Bartender-lady, whoever you are, I was not trying to slip out without paying!

Updated in 2022 with photos, finally!

Jimmy’s Jigger

scooterj — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:12:00 +0000

(West 39th, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 84th bar, first visited in 2006.

Former standalone bar that was later swallowed by Jazz, the restaurant above it, to become Jazz’s de-facto restaurant bar. You can sit in here and not feel like you are in the restaurant, yet still have access to the entire menu.

When we got there they were not quite open yet and the door was locked. We decided to go elsewhere but when we were about 30 feet away I barely heard a faint click. “Hold on,” I said, and ran back to try the door again. Open.

“FIRST!” shouted B as we walked in, throwing his arms up in the air.

“Hooray for you,” said the bartender sarcastically. “Write that accomplishment down in your diary.”

I immediately started laughing as I pulled the bar diary out of my pocket and wrote that one down.
