Scooter’s 1520th bar, first visited in 2022.

I’ve had a t-shirt for this bar for years but had never been, so it was a convenient find that it was only a 3 block walk from our hotel.

With the whole place decked out in Christmas lights, there’s a large rectangular bar in the middle plus small counters along the outer walls. Picnic tables line the outside walls along the sidewalk. There’s Skee-Ball and a passageway to a restroom that looked intriguing enough that I’m kicking myself for not checking it out even though I didn’t have to go.

I had This IPA by Cascade Lakes Brewing Company.
