Scooter’s 1875th bar, first visited in 2026.

This brewery opened a couple of years ago but I hadn’t had a chance now to make it out here. This is an extremely cute little place with rather good beer and one of the nicest restrooms I’ve ever seen. There’s a really nice outdoor area too, but despite it being partly covered and there being a fire we decided it was just too cold.

I had the Colombian Connection Coffee Porter.

I’m going ahead and marking this as having food, because they are in the process of adding a kitchen and its opening is imminent.

This brewery is located in an odd little geographical nexus. It is within the city limits of Lake Lotawana, has a Grain Valley address due to just barely being inside the 64029 zip code, and is within yards of Blue Springs.

We sat right next to the bar. The owner and staff were amazing — extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

We were given a tablet to place our food orders, it allowed us to read about and see photos of every single item on the menu, and use sliders to configure the heat level for each.

Everything was so good we stuck around and had drinks to finish off. I had an IPA by Bira 91 (New Delhi), so in other words an actual literal IPA, followed later by a colorful cocktail called BB Rainbow.

This is a very dog-friendly brewery so there were a few pooches present, and the outdoor seating area is fenced-in so they can stretch their legs.

There isn’t food, but there are food trucks on certain days/times and a schedule is posted on the wall inside.

Since I’ve had so many of their beers I opted to not have a flight and instead have a full glass of Saginaw Joe Porter.

This bar is located WAY out in the middle of nowhere, but worth the drive. You might mistake it for a strip club due to the signage, but it’s nothing of the sort.

We had appetizers and three rounds of shots. In order: Red-headed slut, Alligator piss, and the less-provocatively-named chocolate-cherry shot (the bartender’s favorite). I also had a Bell’s Two-Hearted IPA.

The owner is a breast cancer survivor with a fascinating and inspiring story. She bought full ownership not long ago and has already put a lot of work into renovations. Her future plans are to renovate the former guest rooms upstairs into vacation rentals.

This bar is known for its food, its cocktails and Bloody Marys, and for sing-it-at-your-seat karaoke that is available by request.

We had spent the afternoon at Flora-Bama. While we were there we decided to have a fish fry back at our campsite. So though it was the opposite direction, we headed to Perdido Bay Seafood as it was the closest fish market we could definitely make it to before closing time.

While we were inside making fish selections, my disinterested wife wandered around outside. When we finished we could not see her, but a moment later she called and said to come around the corner because she found a bar.

Bushwhacker’s Landing is an open-air covered bar located right along the canal between Perdido Bay and Big Lagoon. Everything about it seemed new, and there was a lot of construction fencing still up. We learned it had only been open for 3 months.

We couldn’t stay long so had only one drink. But we liked it enough that two days later, while, out on a rented boat, we attempted to arrive by water. We got all the way there only to discover that the construction fencing we had seen was because they were still building their dock. D’oh! Oh well, we’ll try again next year.

I had a Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen by Paulaner Brauerei.

The oldest part of the building (south end) was originally a gas station, the bartender was unsure what the newer addition had originally been used for. There’s lots of eating inside throughout two rooms and a big covered patio in the front. There’s a kitchen but I didn’t try the food since I’d just eaten lunch not long earlier.

In addition to their craft beer the menu also includes cocktails and frozen margaritas.

My beer flight consisted of The Duke (imperial brown ale), Watkins Mill Campground (English ale), 37th Chamber (Irish Stout) and Steven’s Last Night In Town (spiced Belgian IPA), a brand new beer they had just tapped less than an hour before I got there.

“RON’S!” was her immediate reply.

I looked it up and once I found it on the map I realized we’d driven by it several times and I’d wondered about it. But it didn’t until for a couple of hours so we walked around one of the beaches to kill some time.

We arrived right at 4:00 and found it locked — we’d beat the bartender. But knowing this is a true dive we decided to wait and were soon rewarded for our patience.

The bartender was really cool and friendly and gave us all kinds of great into both about the bar and about the area.

We had several rounds of shots and I had a Blood Orange Honey (honey wheat beer) by Cheboygan Brewing Company.

The Vue gets its name from its stunning view overlooking the canal where Lake Charlevoix empties into Lake Michigan via Round Lake. There are live cameras outside watching the canal and the bridge that are connected to video screens inside. Though we soon figured out there is about a 20 second lag — which one member of our group exploited by running outside to do goofy things then running back inside to watch himself on TV.

I had a glass of Prosecco, but I don’t remember it it was Syltbar II Concerto Prosecco (Italy) or Coppola Prosecco DOC (also Italy), as they were out of whichever of the two I ordered first. Later I followed that up with an espresso martini. I also shared in the charcuterie board we might for the group.

New Holland’s tap room consists of three connected buildings. Furthest east, toward the center of the block, is the gift shop and packaged beer/spirits to-go store.

I started with the All Nighter — basically an espresso old fashioned — then finished with the Pornstar Martini.

During that same conversation I alsy learned that Teddy’s Back Alley Bar was an equally small bar directly upstairs, so that’s where I decided to head next.

When I first arrived there were only two other people here, sitting off against the far wall. By the time I was left, it was filling up as an accordion band was getting set to play.

The signature drink here is aquavit — a spirit from Norway that I’d never heard of. It’s similar to vodka, but with a strong herbal flavor. For at least the Linie brand, it is aged in oak sherry casks which are then sent to sea to rock in the waves and cross the equator twice — I kid you not. I was served a flight of it in a little Viking ship. The flavors in the flight were Citron, Dill, and Caraway. The Caraway was my favorite of the three. After I finished the flight I got a fourth shot — this time of the base version of aquavit (which is the standalone bottle in the photos below).

As I was drinking that 4th shot a couple came in who stumbled across this place out of sheer luck — they had just checked into their hotel and were heading into downtown for dinner when they saw the sign outside. They were in North Dakota for the exact same reason I was — to scratch off a bucket list state. This was their 50th state, so the visitor center (which I would be going to the next day) took their photo and gave them free shorts and “Saved the Best for Last swag”. Sadly for me this was my 49th state, as I still need to get to Hawaii. So no free swag for me. (I’m too honest to lie about it.)

As I was getting ready to leave I noticed a poser on the wall for a beer whose name made me do a double-take, and I just had to have a can of it for the name alone. So I re-opened by tab for that beer and also to buy a shirt.

Drinks consumed here: Dill Aquavit, Citron Aquavit, and Caraway Aquavit (Älskar). Then I had Aquavit Original by Linie (Norway), and finally Aass Pilsner by Aass Bryggeri (Norway).

There is a small amount of indoor seating, with considerably more seating outdoors under three covered areas. Due to state licensing requirements one of these outdoor seating areas is where you must sit if you plan to order from the distillery menu, but the entire complex is available for wine service. They also serve a handful of brews from Bentonville Brewing.

The patios are dog friendly and water bowls are provided. There is no food, but crackers and popcorn are available to cleanse the palate.

I sampled all of the wines except the Strawberry Trainwreck (I don’t like strawberry) and in a rare situation for me when it comes to wine, I liked nearly all of them. I also had the complete distillery flight, and finished off with a pour of the Hills and Hollers amber lager from Bentonville Brewing.

We bought 5 bottles of wine to take home, and when we asked about a good place nearby to get firewood the owner directed us to a tree he’d recently cut down behind the vineyard and had us load up whatever we wanted.

We’ll definitely be back!

They sell all three kinds of beer (Bud, Miller, Busch), as well as a basic selection of spirits and mixers. Elsie cooks all the food herself (you can see her making my lunch in one of the photos below), though when it gets busy she sometimes gets a helping hand from a local regular. As was the case when we arrived — which was right after a group of around 50 had just left after swarming the place.

One thing we noticed early is that there isn’t a restroom in the tavern. We later found it, details in the photos.

Right next door to the tavern is a leaning building whose original purpose I don’t know, the “Nite Owls” sign on it is a reference to a local motorcycle group. On the other side of that is an unassuming building named Rudy’s Library. It’s a memorial to Elsie’s husband Rudy, who left behind a massive collection of books (around 5,000) when he passed in 2004. Rather than get rid of them, she moved them all into this building for visitors to enjoy.

Across the highway is a separate abandoned brick building next to an old grain elevator. It’s labeled as a church on Google Maps, but that’s incorrect, the abandoned wooden church is actually 2 blocks north of the tavern and I missed it due to (1) the wrong building being marked on Google Maps and (2) since we were towing a travel trailer we were nervous to explore the town’s dirt roads and risk getting stuck.

I decided to go outside and wander around, when I found this sign that seemed to indicate I’d found the restrooms:

I wasn’t certain, though, as this was the only door:

Opening that door revealed this:

We walked in to a jubilant crowd, and as free pudding shots were placed in our hands (they were handing them out to everyone) a voice rang out “It’s Cari with a C!” We looked over and saw the “Kari with a K” birthday party group from The Basket Case last night — minus Kari. They took a picture of us to send to her as proof.

This place used to be a neighborhood grocery store. I don’t know when it was concerted into a bar but it has been the Tartan Inn since at leas 1990. The current owners took over in 2017 or 2019 (I forgot which), and were now celebrating the recent purchase of the entire building as opposed to just the business.

I would not go as far as to call this an LGBTQ bar because the clientele seemed far more diverse, but the décor and welcoming attitudes show it’s definitely LGBTQ-friendly.

Outside is a courtyard with covered and open-air tables, and a separate building labeled “doobie den” that we didn’t investigate so I don’t know if that’s really is or not.

This was our favorite bar of the trip and one of my top favorite bars ever.

This ended up being one of the more unique breweries I’ve ever been to. The farm has been in the same family since the mid-1800s, originally spanning 225 acres and included vegetable plots and an orchard. Much of the property was sold off in the 1990s, and in 2017 they get the idea to use the remaining acreage to grow ingredients to use in beer and begin a brewing operation.

The tap room is in a tiny building that was originally the farm’s “wash house”, containing a gas-powered washing machine. There is seating for about 5 people. Below, in the cellar, is where the beer is brewed. The brewing operation is so small that of the 9 taps, only 4 were their own beer and the rest were guest taps.

But don’t fear the “seating for 5″, because next door is an old detached garage that has been converted into seating for about 15-20. This building is heated by a wood stove and comes equipped with a wide variety of games to play while you’re having your beer. And in warmer weather (which some people did feel today was “warm enough” there is outdoor seating too.

Since they only had 4 of their own beers, I got a flight of them all: Almost Like Thanksgiving (strong ale, their first brew where nearly every ingredient was grown on their farm), Barn Roof Sledder (winter warmer), Tinsel Vibes (imperial red ale), and Castles Burning (Irish red ale). During which we played a game of Sorry! and I got my ass kicked.

We spent so long here that by the time we were ready to leave the sun was getting low. We decided to skip the other wineries and head back into the city.

So we decided to return to the hotel bar for dinner and then go back to Brickway to have some more there to finish the night.

When we first arrived a tour was getting ready to start so it was a bit hectic, but once the tour group moved to the back it became much calmer.

I was faced with a dilemma. This was the start of the day, so the best strategy would be a few samplings of lower alcohol beers that I was only mildly interested in. But what I really wanted was the Barrel-Aged Epic Blackout Stout, a delicious beast with a powerful 17% ABV but was NOT available in flights. I’d had it before, but never from the source. I really wanted it from the source. So that’s what I chose. And, guess what? The rest of the day would still work out just fine.

At one point I went to use the restroom. Inside the men’s room was a door labeled “employees only”. It was the employee access to the same restroom. That door was also ajar. And I could plainly hear that the tour group was currently gathered right on the other side of that door. I briefly considered the entertainment value of a nice loud fart. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I just didn’t have it in me.

While at The Elbow Room we made the decision to return to out hotel for dinner. But then we had second thoughts, fearing that once we got to the hotel we might not go back out again. So we decided to find someplace to eat along the way. That led to us Crescent Moon Ale House, which I had previous visited in October 2009 but my friend had not visited, where we both had rather good food and met a Lupulin Brewing rep who gave us swag and bough me a beer.

FINALLY, after that, we returned to our hotel (the Magnolia) and made out first visit to the hotel bar.

There was some confusion as to the name of this place as the hotel web site called it “Olive & Ira’s”. But the sign in front said “The District” so that’s what we went with.

We had decided upon our arrival that we would have one drink here, then head back out to visit one or two more nearby bars before calling it a night.

I had an Old Fashioned while my friend had a bourbon. Then I had an espresso martini while my friend had more bourbon. The bartenders were great (both with drink making and with being fun), and we enjoyed ourselves so much here that we ended up staying until nearly close and then just headed back to our room. We would end up visiting this bar two more times during our stay — Saturday night where we closed it, and Sunday morning for a boozy brunch. In the end between all the visits I had 1-2 old fashioneds, 3-4 espresso martinis, an AKRS Cream Ale by Zipline Brewing, two Irish coffees, and one more cocktail that I can’t remember.

Overall, this proved to be my favorite hotel bar so far.

Scooter’s 1706th bar, first visited in 2023.

Our original plan was to visit both bars in this venue, and we would have accomplished that had we not stopped next door to eat first. But while we were eating, Moe & Curly’s went from nearly-empty to absolutely packed as karaoke was fully underway.

After several minutes of being unable to get the bartender’s attention, we decided to skip a drink at Moe & Curly’s (as well as skip asking her where the speakeasy was) and went to look for it ourselves. We found it back past the restrooms. Unlike the main bar, there was almost nobody in here so it worked out perfectly for us.

The only available beer was Lone Star (technically, Original by Lone Star Brewing), so I started off with a bottle of that. My friend ordered the same, but then he noticed they had Dewars so he switched to that and he gave me the rest of his beer to finish. After finishing those I am pretty sure I also had a gin & tonic.

We had a lot of fun here, the bartender was very friendly and made good conversation.

At $8 for the bottle, this is almost certainly the most expensive Lone Star I’ll ever have.

We stayed here for quite a while, sharing several plates of appetizers while playing shufflepuck and having a few rounds of drinks.

The bar counter works its way up a few steps, continuing around the corner from the bar room into the main dining area. There is also a big, well-decorated patio in the back.

I had a Dragon’s Milk Reserve: Coffee Chocolate (2023) by New Holland Brewing, an O.C.P. (Oatmeal Creme Pie) (brown ale) by Pigeon Hill Brewing Company, and whatever shots were ordered.

This trough appears to have bene custom-made to fill 100% of the available space.

As we approached we were worried we wouldn’t be able to get in because there was a big crowd of people standing outside the door, but as we turned the corner a shuttle bus showed up to take them all to the baseball game. Inside we found a much quieter bar than it had been just a few minutes earlier.

There are two rooms, the back more suited for eating. There’s also a covered patio in the form of a canopy in a parking lot.

I had Guinness and whatever shot my group ordered a round of.

This is Missouri’s first Black-owned brewery. When the new opening time hit, every car door on Vine opened. Within minutes the brewery went from empty to standing room only on both levels.

I started to order a flight, but then as hey were making it they realized one of the beers I’d asked for were not eligible for flights due to how it needs to be poured. So they called the two they had already poured me “free samples” and I ordered a full pour of their flagship beer. (Jazzman, a black lager, the one that couldn’t be included in a flight.)

The other two beers I tried (the two redeclared as “free samples”) were the East 71 (cream ale) and the Midnight Mississippi (stout).

The tap room is in a plain-looking corrugated steel building in an industrial area, if you were just driving by you might never notice or imagine that such a landmark destination brewery would be located here.

There are two main indoor seating areas, a patio out back, a gift shop, and a walk-in cold beer cave. There’s no food directly, but they do have food trucks (not operating during my visit).

I was too late to be able to get a crowler but did get to enjoy two beers not found back home as well as buy some merchandise. I had the Oaked Amber With Coffee Brown and the Chocolate Cake Stout.

This would end up being my favorite of today’s breweries, and if I didn’t have such a long list planned I could have easily spent another hour here.

I had The Purpleest Tooth (imperial stout aged 21 months in port wine barrels) and You Can Have the Crown (imperial stout w/o adjuncts). I would like to have had quite a bit more but I’d have to end the day much much earlier if I did. Consequently, I also missed out on another hour’s worth of puns from one of the bartenders.

From here I revisited NE Palace (last visited August 2006, see that post for the updates). My plan from there was to then “re-visit” Stasiu’s, now known as Stanley’s Northeast Bar Room, from which my plan was to walk to Dangerous Man Brewing by way of Grumpy’s Bar, Jimmy’s Bar & Lounge, and Shaw’s Bar & Grill — all dive bars spaced roughly every 2 blocks along the way. Unfortunately most of the sidewalks had not been cleared and with all the slush I was running low on dry socks to change into, so I sadly decided to cut this walking dive bar crawl and uber directly to the next brewery. I’ll have to try this run again sometime when I’m here in better weather.

Like the previous brewery (which I forgot to mention in my recap of it), this is a co-op, meaning patrons can and do buy shares of ownership in the brewery. Hence this sign (“Drink Like You Own The Place”):

The beer garden was unusable due to the snow, this picture was just to remind me that they had one:

In a move that I would soon regret, I decided at the last moment to switch the order of this and the brewery next door, which I was originally supposed to visit first. My reasoning was that with the approaching snow, this place might decide to close early and then I’d miss it.

As an old grain bin this is not surprisingly a very small place. Just a couple of spots to sit at the bar and a handful of small tables. In nicer weather there is about 3-4 times the seating space outside on their patio.

Since it was approaching the end of today’s adventure, I decided to treat myself to a full pour of something. I opted for Nice, a Dark Ale.

Originally named Flat Earth Brewing, this brewery first opened in 2007 in the renovated ruins of a former Hamm’s plant. In 2019 it renamed to the current name.

The building is absolutely beautiful inside and out. As I was leaving I discovered another huge seating area in another room, which explained why I couldn’t originally find enough people inside to explain the full parking lot.

Even though it was unusable today due to heavy snow and lots of ice, the patio is absolutely amazing. It’s built in the partially-collapsed ruins of the former Hamm’s stables.

Beer-wise, I tried their Shamm’s (American lager), Crook’s Haven (English porter with rye), and Black Helicopter Coffee Stout.

As I left I noticed there was also a distillery in the same complex, but I had a long day of beer planned that I would be unable to complete if started adding spirits to the mix.

After learning we were visiting from out of town the bartender decided to give us a tour and tell us about the history. She began by taking us through a door labeled “barber Shop”, revealing a back room lounge area packed with artifacts.

This long-time neighborhood staple has been a hangout for police and firefighters for decades, and patrons have donated all sorts of items related to their professions. As a result, the back room of this bar is essentially a museum of nearly a century’s worth of items relating to both lines of work.

After returning to the main bar the bartender asked if we’d noticed the smooth marble front side of the bar counter. “Do you want to know why it’s marble?” she asked. So of course we wanted to know.

When the bar first opened men and women drank separately, with men in the front room and women in the back room aka the Barber Shop). According to the lore, there was a trough installed along the front of the marble side of the bar so that the men could urinate without needing to leave their spots.

The current men’s restroom is a lot less dramatic, but the women’s restroom was a clear toilet seat with razor blades and barbed wire embedded (completely and safely) within.

I had a Molson Canadian.

The marble bar front. If the legend is true, numerous urine streams used to splash here long ago.

About thirty minutes into our walk we came across a bar that the rest of the group (minus me) had visited a few years earlier but it was extremely busy and they left after 40 minutes of being unable to get anyone to take their drink order. And I had wanted to visit ever since based solely on their pictures.

We peered inside and saw that it wasn’t too terribly busy, and there were enough open seats at the bar for us to sit together. So we went on in, and this time got served right away!

This bar was originally a rail station. There’s a separate room off to the side of the bar room that’s all table seating, and a mezzanine with additional table seating.

I had an Old Shuck (English porter) by North Pier Brewing.

After one round we decided our sleepy companion had napped long enough so we began making out way back to the hotel to wake her — albeit with quite a bit more sightseeing along the way.

Over 110 years old, the building was originally a Pabst bar back in the days when the big breweries operated their own little chain bars all over. It has since been NUMEROUS things, see the history in one of the photos for details.

This is primarily a cocktail bar, though they do have other options. I started with one called The Murdock, which was made with West Bottoms Whiskey, which is how I found out West Bottoms Whiskey existed so would get added to our itinerary for the day. I followed that up with a coffee based cocktail called The Ape Hanger. My wife had a Fancy Glory Hole, named after a row of likely glory holes found in the basement from one of the building’s past uses as a fetish club.

The bar includes two ping-pong tables, something you don’t normally expect to see in a cocktail bar.

Finding this place was a bitch to find, mainly because my GPS decided that rather than just lead us DIRECTLY THERE we should instead turn left on a side street one block before the bar, then turn right in an alley next to a fire station, then declare that we had arrived when we were in fact 125 feet away on the wrong side of the building. Once we found it the next challenge was finding a place we could legally park the rental, but we finally made it work.

This is a really fun dive bar, and I wish we could have stayed longer. If I’m ever back in Austin, this will definitely be a re-visit.

I had the Firemans #4 (blonde ale) by Real Ale Brewing Company, then later peed it out my beers from earlier in the day into a trough.

This is a basement bar right next to the state capitol building, and I had looked forward to trying to find it since I had heard it was a bit tricky but the Uber driver spoiled it by saying “You’ll find what you’re looking for right around that corner.”

The bartender was outside having a smoke so it took us a little bit to get served. It was much darker inside than my pictures let on. The place was pretty busy and it was clear most if not all were regulars, but we found an open spot to sit next to the stairs to the restroom.

The restrooms themselves are up a flight of carpeted stairs in the back with the stairwell walls covered with photos of bar patrons. Just outside the restroom doors was another small table with a couple of chairs.

We both had Miller Lite bottles.

^*By finishing the night out here, I mean in terms of new places. It had always been our plan to go back to Coyote Ugly at the end of the night. (And that was a much different experience on a Friday night than it was the night before, and somehow included more shots.)

The tour begins at the company bar, where you get a drink to take with you on the tour. I chose an Electric Jellyfish (NE IPA) by Pinthouse Pizza. I had no idea yet (would find out at our next venue) that this is Pinthouse’s flagship beer. It would also turn out to be my undoing for the day, as everything after drinking it was a struggle due to stomach volume.

The tour was awesome, but since this is a bar blog I won’t spoil the fun of the tour.

After making a complete circle through both floors of the building, the tour ends at… the bar! This time I had a Rosé Cider from Austin Eastciders, which turned out to be a fortunate selection because our plan to later visit Austin Eastciders fell through and I happened to pick a flavor I had not tried before.

This ended up being our favorite bar that we visited in Portland, we ended up staying for three rounds, and even came back the next morning for breakfast.

The place is divided into three sections. The north third is the diner area and is family friendly. The middle third is the main bar area, and the southern third had arcade games (several pinball machines) and a pool table. Minors are not permitted outside of the diner section. There was a small amount of sidewalk seating but it was unclear to me whether drinks could be taken outside.

Lots of quirky and vintage decor all about the place, so plenty of things to look at.

I started with an Original Amber Ale by Oakshire Brewing. Then we had some sort of house specialty adult root beer float type of drink. Then we had shots of some kind, I don’t remember what. Then we walked next door to our hotel and slept well.

This place is made from a combination of shipping containers and greenhouse-style fiberglass panels covering an alley. The interior walls are covered in English Ivy, and tropical plants and orchids complete the ambiance.

I had a Guinness and one of their signature cocktails.

I almost got a cocktail here, but ended up with a Dead Man’s Run (lager) by Cosmic Eye Brewing.

Surely they wouldn’t allow drunk people such easy, unsupervised access to controls that could screw things up on stage. Nonetheless, I opted to not touch.

This is one of the coolest brewery tap rooms I’ve ever been to, and the beer is fantastic.

I had a Time Waits For No One (Imperial Stout), which was very thick and boozy and delicious.

When we arrived I noticed that King Street Brewing was less than a block away. By the time we finished at Anchorage Brewing, the high ABV of my stout caused me to completely space on King Street. So, I have yet another reason to return to Alaska again!

Know what? We had a good time here. The bartender was friendly and funny, and the regulars were friendly and welcoming as well. It was a pretty typical dive bar experience.

The only thing I noticed is that this is obviously a bar that the locals hang out in, specifically the Alaskan natives. To which I say, so what? I’ve been to plenty of bars where I was the only customer of my ethnicity, and that doesn’t diminish from the bar experience whatsoever.

My original plan was to eat lunch here, but I’d already lost an hour due to backtracking out of my way to Saddlebock Brewery down in Springdale. So to get back on schedule (I wanted to be home in time for the season premiere of The Walking Dead, I decided to just have a beer here (Guinness) and also scratch the dive bar in Carthage I’d planned to visit on my way back.

I was here in the dead zone between lunch and dinner, so it was just me and a handful of bikers… though it sounded like quite a few more were on their way but hadn’t arrived before I left.

The building seen in the photo is the kitchen and the restrooms. The bar and the main dining room are literally inside a cave in the cliff, while outside is a sprawling seating area with your choice of sitting out among the trees or under the cliff overhang behind the vines. In-between is a transition zone where water drips on you.

There’s an awesome goat that lives here too, with a feed dispenser nearby if you want to hand-feed it. (Actually there may be more than one, I just saw the one in the last photo below.)

This is a place I definitely want to come back to and stay longer.

After I finished at Bike Rack I drove a few miles to Macadoodle’s (a liquor store) to buy some regional beer to take home. By the time I finished there, it was time for Saddlebock Brewery to open. So a drove all the way out to the country and arrived there. Yes! Another place where I was the first customer of the day. Except wait, there’s no employee vehicle. The door was locked. Checked Facebook, and found a post made earlier that morning stating that they would be opening late. Crap. I was on a timetable, so so much for getting to visit Saddlebock on this trip.

I returned to town and it was still going to be quite a while before any other brewery on my list would be open. My route took me past Black Apple Crossing, and I began to feel guilty, and worried I’d regret it later if I didn’t visit every single craft establishment I possibly could. So I parked and went inside.

Thank god I did…. because I had no idea I was about to experience the BEST DAMN CIDER OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.

The tasting room is in the far back, behind the restaurant area, and there’s a good sized patio behind that. The credit card system was down so they offered me my cider for free, but I had cash so I would have none of that nonsense.

I had the Barrel Aged 1904 and the, oh sweet Jesus this was so amazingly good: the Hibiscus cider. That one was so good I got a 4-pack to go!

Of course, two sips into the first beer, I had to use the restroom. I was relieved (after I was relieved) to return and find my flight still there as I had no one with me to guard it.

I had the Orange Cream Ale, the T-Rex Tripel, the IPA #3, the La Brea Brown, and the Oatty Stout.

This was the beginning of my downfall. I remember everything about my visit here right up to taking my empty glassware back to the bar. I remember my Uber pulling into the parking lot, I remember nothing about the actual ride to the subsequent brewery except that I couldn’t get my seatbelt to latch so, just like in a similar infamous incident in Madison, WI a few years ago, I held it in place with my hand like a drunken idiot.

While I was eating my lunch I scooted my flight off to the side. Butsomeone came in and sat down beside me, so I had to scoot my flight back out of his way as he sat down. A moment later he asked the bartender, “Do you have flights?”

I just got myself two half-pours, because my plan was to just have a quick visit here and then check out one or two of the other bars nearby. But OH MY GOD this beer was so good that I got two more. And then another one after that. I ended up using up all of my available time here.

The first thing that makes this bar unique is that its basement is home to the oldest still-operating officially-sanctioned bowling alley in America. It is two lanes and has no computers or mechanical parts. All scoring is done on hand by paper, and the pins are reset by neighborhood children who work for tips. Unfortunately were were not able to bowl today because, being that it was Sunday morning, there were no children available. However they did happily allow us to go have a look around.

Next up the decor. Very eclectic, very historical. Tons of photos, even a scrap book of the bar’s history. An old piano. Hilarious signs. And bras everywhere! Bras that had been collected and displayed for decades. Several years ago an uptight inspector with too much free time declared them a fire hazard and ordered them removed. They were down for some time before the city finally ruled that the fire hazard notion was ridiculous and allowed them to be put back up.

Our crew had done their homework in advance, so some of the women came ready with an extra bra tucked away. Which turned out to be more fun that expected, because as the woman removes the bra all of the regulars erupting in a humming of a strip tease. Then everyone signs the bar with a sharpie before the patron gets to hang it up. The bra tradition was started in the 1950s/60s as a fluke when the owner had been partying and took her own off. Over a thousand have been collected so far, they are archived after several years when they start to deteriorate so there are hundreds more boxed away than what you see in the bar.

Speaking of the owner, she’s a huge part of what makes this bar great. Her name is Marcy, and when we visited she was 93 years old and sitting next to us yelling at the umpires in the baseball game on TV. Among her hobbies she lists “reading pornography to the blind”.

Also fun — there’s a barrel in the corner full of vintage clothes, hats, and wigs. Donation bin for the needy? Nope, it’s all there for patrons to play dress-up and take pictures with. We had a blast with that.

There’s nothing on tap, but they can whip up just about any mixed drink. The beer selection is limited to bottles and while it’s a small selection, it’s a good mix of both the basics and a few local craft beers. They also try to have Polish beer on hand, which makes sense as this is a Polish bar in a historically Polish neighborhood.

I had a Żywiec (pale lager from Poland) by Grupa Żywiec, a Blatz by Pabst Brewing Company (which I will never have again as it is terrible, but I had to try it once!), and a Fantasy Factory (IPA) by Karben4 Brewing.

This place looks like any other neighborhood dive bar from the outside. But step inside and it’s anything but. Mid-20th-century tiki/club decor, all lit in red, and a drink menu that is entirely cocktails (no beer or wine) with a specialty in ice cream cocktails.

The name, according to the bartender who told us about the place, comes from fact that it would open and close at the whim of the previous owners, so it would be entirely random whether you’d happen to find it open. But at the time of our visit it has recently been taken over by new owners (the previous owners retired) and their one big change was to make the hours consistent.

Because this was such a treat, we all went with ice cream cocktails. I forget the specific one I had, but it was the one our server said would be the most chocolaty.

We had such a good time here we almost forgot we were on a mission to get to Wolski’s and nearly messed that up!

• It had once been a brothel
• Al Capone operated a speakeasy here during Prohibition
• The bones of a murdered protitute were once dug up on the grounds.
• It’s supposedly extremely haunted, and they offer daily ghost tours.
• Jeffrey Dahmer used to frequent this place, and found 7 of vis 17 (known) victims here.

Apart from that history, this is a stunningly beautiful bar. The ornate woodworking, the furnishings, the decor, it’s all breathtaking.

As we were approaching the building, I suggested “We probably shouldn’t talk about that Jeffrey Dahmer thing in here. I’m sure they’d rather keep that on the down-low. Umm, nope, I was wrong about that. Rather than burying their history they embrace it openly.

Shadow People’s Lager (a dark lager) by Shaker’s. It didn’t click in my head at the time, but this is their one house beer that they brew themselves. I had no idea if it’s brewed on-site or elsewhere. I picked it solely because I liked the name.

BTW the outdoor seating is a small deck built over what would otherwise be about two parking spaces on the end of the street.

This ended the day-drinking portion of the day. We headed back to our house from here to rest for a few hours before round 2. But I want to mention that this neighborhood has what looks like a lot of very cool bars, and I’ll want to spend more time here if we come back.

Around the corner from the Cheesehead Factory, George’s is in a small house adjacent to a bridge. When we first arrived it was packed, as they are on the Pedal Tavern route and the Pedal Tavern was currently there. So we went to Cheesehead first to buy foam cheese hats. By the time we were done, the Pedal Tavern was gone and it was much less crowded.

George was there! He didn’t stay very long, but we did get to meet him. In the photos below, he’s the one with a dog on his lap.

I had a Riverwest Stein (lager) by Lakefront Brewery and, if I remember correctly, some shots.

This craft beer bar has 99 taps, all serving beer only from breweries in Iowa. There is partially-covered outdoor seating available in the alley. They do serve food, but that’s not why I was there.

I could have easily stayed here until close, but alas I only had 45 minutes before I would have to leave to rejoin my group. So I had as many 4oz pours as I could during that time.

3. CocO Stout by West O Beer
4. Rhymes With Orange by Brightside Aleworks (stout)

The most prominent feature on their grounds is the actual “Magic Bus” from the movie “Into the Wild”, which should be noted is not the actual Magic Bus, which still sits the meadow 35 miles west.

I had their McCarthy’s Stout, Fallen Comrade (Red Ale brewed for Memorial Day), and Smoked Imperial Stout

Scooter’s 1239th bar, first visited in 2018.

This is a two-story bar, with the basement level (the main level) done up quite well to look like an old gold mine.

There’s a pateio area out back. Inside there is a pool table, darts, foosball, and lots of TVs.

I had a Twister Creek IPA by Denali Brewing Company.

This was intended to be a quick drop-in to pick up a visit to a local dive bar I’d known about for almost 30 years but never visited. Just a quick Bud Light, then leave.

Boy was I wrong.

In a bizarre stroke of luck, today was also the first day of their brewery operation that I had never heard a peep about until this visit, and we wound up being their very first customers! They only had 4 of their own beers ready for sale (Atlas Brew, Irish Stout, Russian Imperial Stout, and a barleywine they’d been working on for near 2 years), but all four of them were hit out of the park. We also got to sample their not-quite-ready-for-sale Scottish Ale (it wasn’t fully carbonated yet) and even being partially-flat it was outstanding.

Scooter’s 1230th bar, first visited in 2018.

Associated with Johnny White’s Hole In The Wall and Johnny White’s Pub and Grill (all in the same building), this was the perfect find for us. This is a tiny little dive bar right on the corner. You can reach the restaurant from inside via a door at the top of a staircase, but (at least at the time we visited) you could not order directly from the bar.

It seems to be a bit of a locals hangout (at least during the day) based on the conversation we had with one of the regulars.

I had a Blonde by NOLA Brewing.

Out of destruction comes opportunity! Two years ago this was an empty warehouse, saved for vintage cars being stored on the upper level. Then this happened, leaving the building on the verge of teardown for a year before iTap came along and saved the day!

I had a flight featuring their Trapper IPA, Native Red IPA, Kilted Cowboy (listed as Burnin’ Kilt Scottish Ale on Untappd), and Bangtail Brown. All were excellent but the Native Red was tops for me.

80s music was playing, there was a good selection of local craft beer, and it wasn’t super loud or busy. I enjoyed this place. We had planned to “come back in” the next morning for breakfast but decided to skip it and get on the road.

There were impressive displays of various knick-knacks, including a rather extensive collection of salt-and-pepper shakers.

I had the Satin Solitude Imperial Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company.

The beer tasting area is outdoors and the grounds are a beautiful area to explore with your beer. You can also take your beer on the self guided tour, some photos of which are below. Unfortunately the self-guided tour has little information telling you what is actually going on in any of the viewing areas.

The “admission fee” comes with a choice of individual tasters or two pours in a large souvenir glass. We opted for the latter. I had the famous Spotted Cow for my first. I cannot remember what I got for the second, or even if we went back for seconds, because New Glarus is in a cellular dead zone and I could not log my drinks. (In fact we had to rely on the car’s compass to find out way out of town and on the road to Madison!) If I did go back for seconds, it was probably the Belgian Red.

The parking lot was overflowing, far busier than I had expected, in part due to an antique sale plus some other special event in a tent, plus a parade in town. We had to park in the grass. Amazingly we had less than an hour wait for our tour — just enough time to get some shopping and beer tasting in.

I had the Wisconsin Red Pale Ale, Leinenkugel’s Original (which is something we can’t find back home), and the Big Eddy Uber-Oktoberfest (Marzen).

Cameras are prohibited inside the brewery buildings (except the Leinie Lodge) so I only have a few exterior photos from the tour.
