    This is currently Lawton's most popular bar. Most simply call it Scooters. Make no mistake it is a country bar above all other purposes.

    Scooters features a fairly large dance floor with enough room for a couple to step through some complex country dance moves. But arrive early to do anything fancy. Once the club is packed, the floor gets packed with couples and line dancers. Scooters tends to get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. The crowds predictably grew even larger when Scooters' main competitor, the Electric Cowboy, closed. The interior has a good amount of open space and a high ceiling. Cigarette smoke here isn't as bad as some other Lawton night spots, but if you visit on a crowded night you will smell like an ashtray when you leave.

    The mix of music is the usual of any mainstream country bar: blocks of recent country music hits separated by a few non-country dance tunes. The same complaint about the playlist here can be made at so many other places. The playlist doesn't get updated often and lacks variety. If you're there long enough, you'll hear "Atomic Dog," "Electric Slide," "Pussy Control" and that damned "Cha Cha Slide" thing played at least once or twice. Just about any bar will play "Back in Black" by AC/DC as an attempt to make us white guys happy. But that song is not meant for grinding on the dance floor. Air guitar and slamming a shot is more appropriate.

    The crowd can get pretty rowdy at times. Fights were not all that common in the past, but more have occurred recently. The upside is there are plenty of bouncers and they do immediately eject those who try to get violent.

    Scooters features three bar counters, a beer cart (on the weekends) and a staff of servers. The place is prepared to serve the volume of customers up to what the fire code will allow to enter. Variety of beers is average (you will have to travel elsewhere to find anything exotic). I'm not the best one to judge their mixed drinks since I'm mainly a beer drinker in social situations.

    I give Scooters a three out of five stars rating. It might rate higher if the music playlist was recycled with a wider variety of more current stuff.
