I'm actually from Clio but after high school moved to Davidson, lived off Richfied rd with a roommate that also worked at Buick, then Windsor place apartments then bought my first house on Flint Street in 1981. I also worked at the Mikatam as a doorman when I was laid off from Buick in the early 80s when you could get 20 for 1 on mixed drinks. Orders were from the owner (Tom Jobran) if they walked through the door they were old enough. As for women...you are correct, and I have fond memories.
It was 1972 when we got into the Mikatam to see Bob Segar before he made it big.
