(Downtown, Omaha, NE)
Scooter’s 1707th bar, first visited in 2023.
This is another bar that I tried to visit in August 2009 but it was so busy it was impossible to even get close enough to the bar to order something. This cold Thursday evening with intermittent light rain for hours made a visit tonight possible. We decided this would be our last stop before walking back to the hotel. Since it’s an Irish bar, I opted for Guinness.
There was a well dressed group having a good time at the next table and we bantered back and forth a couple of times. When we were about halfway finished with our drinks they paid their tab and left. A few minutes later they returned and ordered another round.
“Change your mind?” my friend asked them.
“YES!” they said. “It’s POURING out there!”
The weather forecast up to this point (which we had been monitoring frequently) had always insisted on only periods of sprinkles to very light rain. So we assumed they were exaggerating. After we finished our drinks and closed our tab we decided to brave the walk back to the hotel.
NOPE! It was a full-on monsoon outside. Torrents of rain. We stood under the canopy for a minute debating whether to also go back inside. But we were tired, so we decided to awning-hop our way back to the hotel.
