(Downtown, Omaha, NE)
Scooter’s 1715th bar, first visited in 2023.
Since this was directly across the street from Jackson Street Tavern it made sense for this to be our next stop, even after we first detoured a couple blocks west to buy some Ibuprofen.
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.
