Tom’s Country Stampede

(Leavenworth, KS)

Scooter’s 549th bar, first visited in 2009.

Tom's Country Stampede, Leavenworth

We walked in and immediately felt the “who are you and what are you doing here?” vibe from the regulars. The bar was completely full, but it wrapped around to a small room in the back so we walked around to that corner looking for an empty seat. I could feel all the eyes in the place following us as we did so. Finding no seats, we walked around to the front.

“Now that you’ve had the tour, you gonna order something?” gruffed the bartender. The entire place erupted in laughter at our expense. I timidly got the beers, and as I paid for them the bartender asked if we had membership cards.

“Not yet,” I said, “do we need to fill them out?”

“Naw, forget it,” he said. I think he figured we weren’t worth the trouble and not at all likely to become regulars.
