Sprader's On the Lake

It's a neat little place if you like little dive bar type places.  There isn't a whole lot of seating because the place is small and they have a pool table.

I went in the winter, so unfortunately I didn't get to take advantage of their patio area, but it looks nice!  Right on the water.

They don't have food, but you're welcome to order pizza to be delivered.

I finally got to Spraders after 2+ years of living in White Lake.  It's small, hyper-local and totally friendly (staff and patrons alike).  Brought along a friend visiting from FL and she LOVED IT and wants to go back before she leaves (we're both fans of the tiny and the 'divey').  We popped in late afternoon/happy hour time about when the Tigers were set to play Game 4 (which set them Series bound).  In honor of the game they had free hot dogs for the taking.  Nothing fancy, but gut-filling and a nice surprise because we were hungry.  The deck/water area was closed, but if you sit at the right tables you are blessed with a view.  There were TV's placed in all directions so that you can catch whatever game is scheduled to be watched from every angle.  The (ladies) bathroom was basic and nice at the same time.  Small, but clean, too.  Almost had a ladies touch with certain details.

If you're into fancy schmancy and are into airs, go elsewhere.  They probably don't want your kind there anyway.  One can probably afford to go to Spraders every night for a couple of drinks even in this crappy economy.  Just to give you an idea of how affordable this place is, I had 3 drafts and the BFF 2 Rieslings and my tab was $14 before tip.  Seriously, how can you beat that?  They also had interesting shot and drink lists on the table (hot and cold) which I want to delve into on future visits.  I definitely look forward to frequenting Spraders during the warmer weather.  They seem to have an active Facebook page so hit 'em up there too.  Oh, super kudos to Lynn the bartender who was great and attentive.

ETA:  We went back the next evening and that experience was deserving of 2 stars.  My friend got face and hat-molested by what seemed to be a creepy regular.  Nope, this would be strictly be a day visit place for me.  Oh, no food as others have stated, but they do have chips for sale by the bar.

Stopped by Spraders on a very hot summer afternoon.  No A/C, however if was well ventilated.  I was very comfortable.  I was really in the mood for an ice cold beer, and maybe some of those deep fried mini tacos.  They have good beer specials, however no food.  Great view of the lake.  The place appears to be one of the old cabins in the area converted to a bar.  It has a nice small deck and a dock on the lake.
