Scooter’s 1601st bar, first visited in 2022.

Now it was late, we had not had dinner, and this was the closest spot we could find to the hotel that still had an open kitchen. So we dropped the car off at the hotel and walked back over here.

Everybody ordered food for themselves, we also ordered a few appetizers for us to all share. I ordered what I thought was going to be an individual-sized pizza. Then we all got our drinks. I had a Mayan Mocha Stout by Odd Side Ales.

After a while the appetizers came out. Then, a bit later, the food. Except not mine. So I waited. And waited. I was stick in the middle of a round booth and couldn’t get out without making everyone else get out, so my wife went to go check on my food. They assured her the pizza was coming. So I wanted some more. But hunger finally took over and I started eating appetizers. Before long I was full.

We gave up on the pizza, and just as we were about to go ask for it to be removed from the tab so we could leave, it was suddenly plopped down on the table before us.

It looked amazing, so I couldn’t pass it up, and forced myself to eat a few pieces. It was much larger than I was expecting, and with no practical way for us to save the leftovers, half of it got wasted. Which is criminal.

Scooter’s 1596th bar, first visited in 2022.

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.

Scooter’s 1595th bar, first visited in 2022.

Unfortunately it was rather crowded and we had to stand, so we just had one drink and left. I had a Guinness.

I did manage to move around inside enough to see that there was another room behind where we were standing. I also remember there being "something odd" about the men's room but because I wasn't alone in there I couldn't get a picture so that I would remember later what it was.

This is an elegant cocktail bar with an unnecessarily upscale men’s room (see photos) — I believe this is the first place I’ve ever used a black urinal.

The random “Prison Mike” sketch above the hallway from the restrooms was a nice touch.

I had a Stroh’s since I’ve never had that before, then a cocktail that I think was a honey-lemon “Bee’s Knees” type of drink.
