Scooter’s 691st bar, first visited in 2010.

This was a nice quiet downtown bar with a small deli counter in the front and a good menu of sandwiches and fried foods. I had a pretty delicious tenderloin and some rather good fries.

Scooter’s 690th bar, first visited in 2010.

I had been looking forward to visiting this bar for over a year since I first found it on Google Street View and fell in love with its run-down look.

“Are we really going in there?” my brother asked incredulously. “That building needs to be condemned and knocked down. Or at least repainted.”

Nonsense. Some people just can’t appreciate a rustic old building with character.

It took some time for our eyes to adjust once inside, it was quite a bit darker than the photos below make it seem. The locals were very friendly.

I really liked the original exposed natural stone at the back end of the bar.
