Scooter’s 1559th bar, first visited in 2022.

The guy doing the live music was a hoot, and definitely had to be on something (which he alluded to multiple times). He was entertaining enough that we ended up deciding to stay here until it was time for us to leave for our afternoon tour.

I had a couple of rounds of Austin Amber by Independence Brewing.

Scooter’s 1558th bar, first visited in 2022.

We were looking specifically for a place called Bikini’s Sports Bar Grill that Google said was open, but we could not find it anywhere. The address took us to BBG’s instead. Then I noticed that all the reviews for Bikini’s were rather old so surmised that Bikini’s must have gone tits-up and been replaced by BBG’s.

BBG’s is physically connected to the adjacent Happy Chicks bar next door via a common restroom area, and it kind of looked like both were served by the same kitchen. BBG’s had a more divey feel, however, so we were happy with out selection.

I had a Noisy Cricket (session IPA) by Friends & Allies Brewing.

Scooter’s 1557th bar, first visited in 2022.

The sidewalks were getting busier and we were dodging both other pedestrians and bar employees stationed outside the doors of bars enticing people in.

“Do you guys want to come on in?” called one of the voices too us.

“No thanks,” I said, “we’re done for the night.”

“You sure?” said the door attendant. “We have girls dancing on the bar.”

My friend’s eyes got really big and he looked back, then at me. “Scott, I’ve never been in a Coyote Ugly before. We HAVE to go!”

So we did. (I had already been to the Memphis location years ago, but had to allow my friend the same opportunity.)

Being a Thursday night it was not too busy at first, but it grew busier as time went on. About half an hour after our arrival a bachelorette party came in and that made the bar dancing almost constant.

I had two Guinness and at least one shot.

I have decided not to post any of the pictures of bar dancing because too many of the people on the bar were customers rather than employees.

This ended up becoming the real final bar of the night. What followed was a walk where we overshot the turn to the hotel by 2 blocks, stepping over/around several sleeping homeless people along the creepy route we used to correct that, and my friend crossing an intersection with a very wide berth that took him out onto the light rail tracks and at the time his reason for doing so seemed not only logical but even brilliant, but by morning neither of us could remember what that reason was.

Scooter’s 1554th bar, first visited in 2022.

There is a covered patio along the west side of the building, and inside there were stairs leading up that we didn’t investigate.

I had Guinness.

Scooter’s 1553rd bar, first visited in 2022.

I had a couple of glasses of the Yuengling lager while a woman (and one guy briefly) played good live music at the front end of the bar.

Scooter’s 1552nd bar, first visited in 2022.

We both had Miller Lights. This looked like it could be a fun place, but my friend was annoyed that his 12oz Miller Light bottle was $6 and that was comparable to the price of the much better beers at the breweries. Also, the music wasn’t a style either of us liked and was being played really loud, so we snapped out photos, chugged the beer, and left.
