All of the gals were on point, fierce and majorly talented. (Seriously, teach me your make-up skills!) The bartenders are always super kind, and during karaoke nights, I enjoy seeing the bartenders take part in singing along with the other patrons. I've never had a bad night here, there seldom seems to be any sort of arguments or unhappiness, everyone is just out to have a good time. The smoking area in the back is nice and open and the interior of the bar has a lot of room. Scooter's is a fantastic place and I hope they stay open for a long time!

You get a beer card which is linked to the credit card you provided upon check in and then you go to the wide range of taps on the wall and fill up your glass. There's a little variety in the sizes and types of glassware to choose from. You are charged by oz, and the price is clearly displayed on the signage. I thought it was going to cost us much more to do it this way instead of sitting down and ordering a drink but we think it actually ended up being cheaper to drink this way. We decided to take a seat outside on the patio. It's a large area with games and plenty of different types of seating. You order through the QR code on the menu and your food gets delivered to your table. It came out fairly quick and we were hungry so we ordered way too much food. We tried the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread which was really good and I highly recommend just getting that! Had the Mediterranean Salad. A nice sized portion and very fresh. Tried the 12 pc boneless wings. I don't normally like boneless wings but that is all they had. So we tried them. Not impressed. Very thick breading, no outstanding flavor. These felt like bar food, which is okay. It is a bar but in comparison to our delicious flatbread I was disappointed. Lastly we tried the Garlic Parmesan Cheese Curds. These were unlike any cheese curd I've had before. They were huge squares which felt like hunks of bread. I though they were too big and too cheesy for my tastebuds. It was a nice place to stop in while we were traveling through and a great day to sit out on the patio.

We had a good natured discussion about that. Long story longer great little bar to spend some time at. P.S. the fact that I am only the second person to review this bar tells you something.
