  I didn't eat here but food smelled good. We ran into Oades when we snuck out of Zap Zone to take a break from the chaos of kids. Had a couple beers and tequila shots. I was impressed by how clean, new and somber it was, my type of bar for sure. Prices were great, the bar maid was perfect, naturally friendly. I only wish there was some music in the background as it was too quiet for me :) cant wait to go back

  Good ol' dive bar slapped right in the middle of a strip mall. Random, but a good place to hide while attending a kids party at the laser tag dump. Full bar, decent food and pool kept us entertained.

  Walk into Oade's and ask about Iris.  Guaranteed someone there knows me.  
  
  This was my quintessential regular hang out for about 3 years.   I even met my bf there.  Frankly, most of the people that I cavort with nowadays were/are frequent patrons.  I perused my Oade's photo collection, and yet failed to locate one deemed Yelp submission appropriate.
  
  Oade's is such a "regulars" joint, that everyone knows your name.  As much as I once joked about having a gossip rag mag, one of the daily customers created a myspace page for it.  
  
  Here's what to expect:
  *Find a ton of after work servers in the late-night or the older 9-to-5-ers  around dinnertime.
  *The rail is the prime seating area for service as usually there is one bartender manning the place.  
  *Behave, though, as Jerry may crack skulls if you get salty with your bar mistress.
  *Considering the lack of legitimate employees, you will often need to come up to the rail for adult bevs if you are out on the floor.
  *Silly restaurant workers tend to enjoy the Red-headed sluts and Minderasers - know which flavor you desire.
  *Many drinkers seriously participate in Keno, pool, and darts so come cash in hand.
  *Food is do-able, and as you guessed typical bar fare, with some deli sandwiches mixed in.
  *Yeah, hook-ups are inevitable everywhere, but if you are looking for a meat market, head over to Reno's.  This is a friendly hang-out.
  *It's a hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall so you may miss it off of Saginaw.  Find the Meijers intersection and head north down Elmwood.
  
  Say hi to my favorite bartender, Nan, for me.
