Parkville Wine House

scooterj — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 18:10:00 +0000

(Downtown, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 1830th bar, first visited in 2025.

This wine bar (which also features a curated set of craft beer) opened in 2024 in a converted house right at the edge of downtown Parkville. We stopped to check it out on our way home from running some errands.

There are multiple rooms and there were stairs leading up, but we sat at the bar and didn’t explore much.

There’s a limited menu of light eats, including flatbreads which is what we had.

I was original planning a wine flight but then I saw they had Liquid Spiritual Delight (imperial stout) from 2nd Shift Brewing so I went with that instead.

Scooter’s 1744th bar, first visited in 2024.

Whiskey and craft beer bar with all sorts of high-end spirits, and creative cocktails. Also serves some pretty good pizza and burgers. I’ve since been several times and have had all sorts of the drink offerings.

There is a speakeasy hidden behind a bookcase. I haven’t yet asked what its ours are or how to get access.

Popped in here on my friend’s birthday for a quick Guinness, simply because I hadn’t been here before. Actually ran into someone else I knew while I was there.

The Craic

scooterj — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 17:14:00 +0000

(Downtown, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 1546th bar, first visited in 2022.

Irish bar in downtown Parkville that I’d been meaning to visit for a long time, but it was always too busy. Now, with a day off in the middle of the week, I had my chance.

Just a bit too nice to call it a dive, just a bit too mellow to call it upscale.

I had a Blacksmit (mix of Guinness and Smithwick’s).

Al’s Bar & Grill

scooterj — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:11:00 +0000

(Crestridge Center, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 1034th bar, first visited in 2014.

This place was a lot cleaner and brighter than I was expecting from the outside.

There’s an L-shaped bar and a dual-sided bar down the center. Several tables and lots of TVs. I didn’t see any mentions of live music but food is served.

Frank James Saloon

scooterj — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:10:00 +0000

(Crestridge Center, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 1033rd bar, first visited in 2014.

It’s a touch call as to whether to call this a pizza place that has a bar or to call it a bar that serves pizza, though I’m leaning more toward the latter. Located in a strip mall in northwestern Parkville, this cozy dive features and L-shaped bar and a rustic feel. In addition to serving pizza they also host live music.

(Parkville Commons, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 958th bar, first visited in 2012.

Suburban restaurant/bar. A little pricey, but the food and beer selection were both good. The bar area is huge with lots of viewing options for sports.

scooterj — Sat, 09 May 2009 17:10:00 +0000

(Downtown, Parkville, MO)

Scooter’s 555th bar, first visited in 2009.

Technically a private club but open to the public, this is the only true bar in downtown Parkville and serves its role as a neighborhood bar well. Open 7 days a week, with breakfast Sunday mornings and various food and drink specials throughout the week. There’s also a bingo night, an open mic night, and other entertainment. This is also the only bar in Parkville where smoking is legal.
