There were three places in NW KS in the "day" that had live bands, 3.2 beer for 18 year olds (hardly ever remember being checked), and tons of people, many of which were of the opposite sex. I lived just over the border in Nebraska and my wife to be was from Oberlin. In those days, the highways between Kansas and Nebraska were well traveled by youngsters heading south for the drinking age and beer that sold for $2.10 a twelve pack. When the age was changed to 21 for all states things changed dramatically and the McCook area kids didn't burn up the highway anymore.
There were always lots of cars from Nebraska at the following:
Captain Hooks Harbor - Goodland, KS
Rusty Bucket - Colby, KS
Stage Coach - Norton, KS
