(Oak Ridge, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 1384th bar, first visited in 2019.

Considering I’ve been coming here for more than two decades, it was stunning to me when I looked it up and discovered I’ve never actually visited the bar here. But I finally got my opportunity tonight, when a take-out order wasn’t ready yet.

I had a Guinness.

(Oak Ridge, Kansas City, MO)

Scooter’s 235th bar, first visited in 2007.

This VFW is tucked back from the road a bit, located between a golf course and Stroud’s North. This writeup is about my visit to it as a bar.

As VFW bars go, this is probably the most friendly one I have been to. (And most have been friendly.) The silver-haired crowd was very excited to see some young people in there. “We need more young people in here to keep this place going,” one of them said.

I got a kick out of the men’s room when I stepped through the door to find a woman standing in the corner staring back at me. (Look at the pictures to see what I’m talking about.)

This VFW’s bar is open to the public and makes for a nice little dive to hang out at after a round of golf.
