  This was the first time I was happy the Runaway Lounge was closed for Memorial Day Sunday so it forced us to try something new.  We had drove bye this place several times before and finally decided to try it out.  They have some unique patrons that were friendly and enjoyed the night outside chatting with some strangers.  If your going south of the river after leaving be responsible and take a cab; the bartender called one for us and was there within 3-4 minutes, which was good because when we walked out the door there was a cop sitting right next to our car parked in the CVS waiting for people to leave.

  Of all of the dive bars in North Kansas City, this was the one that I was most nervous about visiting.   But, as usual, it turned out there was nothing to be nervous about.  
  
  Oak Tree is a pretty typical old-style neighborhood dive bar & grill.   It and Helen's JAD actually make good bookends for the Armour corridor in NKC.   Located behind the CVS, this is also the northernmost entry on the Swift Avenue dive bar row.
  
  The seating area is divided into two main sections, with the V-ish shaped bar in the center forming the divider.   There are pool tables, various bar games, and at the west end a stage area for live entertainment.
  
  With friendly bartenders and regulars, this is a good, old-school dive bar to unwind in.
