(North Kansas City, MO)
Scooter’s 231st bar, first visited in 2007.
Probably the most popular under-the-radar place in North Kansas City. I rarely find people that know about it, but those that do love it. And the first time you go, it definitely is tricky figuring out just how exactly to get there.
As the first review noted, the hours are odd. And, at least in my experience, not always consistent during the week. I’ve arrived early (but during the posted hours) on a couple of occasions and found it not open yet.
Inside, the space seems a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Just about all the domestics are on tap. Helen’s JAD has a surprisingly good beer selection — almost too good — it very nearly makes this place not qualify as a dive. 
However beer prices are a tad high — at least for domestics. Imports seemed to be more reasonably priced.
I just discovered that you can order food online through the JAD’s web site. Dive bars aren’t supposed to do that! Maybe Helen’s JAD isn’t really JAD after all????
