Mad Mike’s Bar & Grill

As with most local bars it gets to the point where the regulars take it over and own it. If you are one of these regulars and part of the family then you feel as if you belong to something. Unfortunately anyone else coming into the bar senses that immediately and is overcome with a wave of discomfort. That in a nutshell sums up Mikes.
I stopped in for a drink or two to kill sometime and chat. An extremely creepy drunk guy came from across the room and sat next to us at the bar and began to flirt with my X. At some point in his life he must have agreed to pay for his drinks in teeth because i am pretty sure i only saw one or two in his mouth. For some reason, he found it necessary to instruct my X and I how to use the remote control for the TV. which was quite helpful, since neither of us had any interest in watching TV. I have pretty thick skin, but this guy really creeped me out. He is the kind of guy you see at Walmart and immediately wonder how many people he has locked up in his basement.
The setup of the bar is. interesting. They have a curtain like divider that was closed when i got there, leaving only the «bar» available. Apparently on the other side of the curtain they have tables, games and such. I am not sure why that would ever be closed off. but ok. They have a Wii which the bar patrons were playing and seemed to be having a really good time. Drink prices are cheap as you would expect for a local watering hole. They have a gas BBQ outside the back door. which i am guessing is the kitchen? Apparently the owner did not hear about the smoking ban in public places in Ohio because there were people smoking at the bar. Some patrons were respectful enough to go outside in the back and smoke. however others just didn’t want to leave their drink long enough.
If you are looking for a good people watching experience and really aren’t concerned with safety, good conversation or you just want to feel a little better about your own life. You should stop in for a drink.
