(St. Joseph, MO)
Scooter’s 893rd bar, first visited in 2011.
Pop’s Place is quite a bit bigger, and nicer, than I was expecting! It has at least 3 pool tables, Silver Strike, darts, a large seating area, and a big semi-covered patio.
The small, angular bar is in the back corner. They serve a food here and were getting themselves ready for the upcoming lunch crowd.
Too late (we were already into our drinks) we noticed that they serve a beer we’d never heard of before, called Git-R-Done, which comes from a microbrewery in Nebraska. (We’d end up ordering this at another bar later, which I will not mention the name of. B thought it was too sweet and malty, while I didn’t detect the sweetness so much but thought the aftertaste was reminiscient of a sweaty foot. The bartender at that later bar, not this bar, asked us what we thought. After politely saying “It was okay,” she replied “Yeah, we don’t brag about it.”)
It should be noted that the men’s bathroom here at Pop’s Place smelled horrendous, yet paradoxically was one of the cleanest bathrooms we have ever encountered. 
By the way, it didn’t occur to us to ask who Dakota is, or why he/she deserves congratulations.
