Welcome to Mickey Finn's Brewery
Ok we'll back open on Tuesday. So here's why we were closed the last two days; Superbowl Sunday has really become a day for home parties (at least here in Libertyville), we're not complaining though because the rest of the year, Liberyville enjoys going out to beverage. And since we're not a bar that hosts illegal gambling parties (not udging here, we just dont do it)we decide to close on Sunday and have our holiday well actually Christmas staff party. We closed Monday because we believe it should be a national holiday, nobody should have to work the day after the Superbowl. Well that and we needed to refinish all of our tables and do a little carpentry work. We hope you notice the improvements.Cheers and Congrats to New Orleans a great city that deserved something good to happen.

Friday Night
Join Pat, Sandy and the rest of the Usuals for a show/breast cancer fundraiser this Friday night. $10 at the door all proceeds to benefit the fight of breast cancer.
Saturday night we welcome back Alternative Theory, an excellent cover band.
We will be closed for the Superbowl...all day, if it looks like people are inside having a good time it's because we have our staff party that night. Enjoy the game.
We will also be closed on Monday. No, not to nurse our hangovers, although some of that will be going on, we will be refinishing our tables which I understand is a really stinky process. Will be back open on Tuesday.
Cheers and go Saints...Who dat?

This weekend we welcome back Supernaut, basically an all-star line-up of Chicago musicians playing classic and hard rock tunes, featuring guitarist Dave Uhrich. Saturday night it's live band karaoke, with Sing with the Band. Lot's o' fun, bring a big group everyone sings. The winner shall receive on their deathbed total conciousness. Which is nice.
Have a great weekend people, stay warm.

This Saturday NightSpecial thanks to all who came out to see the Melloncougar show on Friday night. Great crowd, great show, and very cool to see fellow Hoosier and original bass player Toby Myers on stage (no offense TK). Also, nice Christmas show from TMD on Saturday night, although I missed it because of a family function that included plenty of cianti, Santa's Magic, and the Italian liquor Tuaco/shotski....needless to say a Hallmark Christmas card was not produced that night.
Well, back on track, this Friday we welcome back longtime great coverband Covergurl, always a good time. Saturday our buds from the Afrodisiacs perform their 80's Spazmatics show. If you haven't seen these guys you'll be blown away.
Keep in mind NYE tix are going fast, when we're sold out we're sold out. $75 get's you Tokyo Fish Market, apps, dinner, dessert, chamapagne (albiet cheap champagne), and open top shelf (not cheap) beer, booze, and wine, all in the friendly confines of Mickey Finn's Amber Room. Call or stop in for tix.
Hoppy Holidaze,

Friday Night...doors open at 9:30pm...show at 10:00pm.
Thanks to Peter Cimbalo and his band for hosting our first kid concert Saturday afternoon. It was a great crowd and best all no kids were injured in the mosh pit. Also thanks to the guys from the Might Short Bus for swingin' down our way Friday and Larry Pascale and Uncle Sam (now officially bringing the biggest crowds to MF), for an awesome show on Saturday night. Call or stop in.
This Friday night, Mellencougar in the Amber Room, with JCM's original bass player...and it's not Tom Kief (although we love TK). Saturday night local band, Mojo Daddies and I've been told a few Christmas songs will be tossed in..
Don't forget our New Year's Eve Party. Tix on sale in advance only. $75, Tokyo Fish Market, Italian Buffett with apps, dinner, and dessert, plus a little thing we like to call OPEN BAR - top shelf people.
Cheers,
Brian G.
This Friday Night!!Well, we survived our second busiest weekend of the year! Thousands of people in over 3 days, 3 awesome bands, Ordinary Outcast (back on the Dec 26th), Betty Soul, and Hello Dave, and lot's of lot's of Santa's Magic.
This week we keep in rollin' with one my personal favorite bands, The Might Short Bus, out of Madison, WI on Friday night. Cool guys, awesome original music and cover tunes. Swing up after your xmas party!
Saturday acclaimed Libertyville musician Pete Cimbalo is doing a free show at 3:30pm for kids and their families. Pete cut an awesome kid cd a year or so ago and will be performing for kids and tweens. The bar will be open too mom and dad.
Saturday night super-cover band Uncle Sam hit's the stage. These guys have opened for 80's rockers, Motely Crue, Poison, Slaughter and more. Your favorite 70 and 80's tunes.
Saturday Night 10:00pm
Get Lit this weekend! What is "Get Lit" you ask? Good question, I get that a lot. Well, for the 6th consecutive year we've combined the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the debut of Santa's Magic, the Libertyville Tree Lighting Ceremony and the return of our sons and daughters from University (where I'm sure they've been doing nothing but studying)for a entire weekend party. We kick off on Wednesday with the biggest college and post-college reunion in town. The Christmas lights are on, the holiday beer tent is open and at 10pm the awesome pop/punk cover band Ordinary Outcast hits the stage. Thursday we all take a turkey day breather, then come back on Friday for more. Open at 11:00am we'll be pouring Santa's Magic from the get go. Libertyville Tree Lighting takes the stage around 5:30pm, and my good buddies from Betty Soul take the stage around 10:00pm.
Saturday we do it again, this time with Finn's friendly and national touring act, Hello Dave, in the Amber Room. Check out their new CD on iTunes! I'm there Friday and Saturday so make sure to say hello to me!
Cheers
Brian G.
I'm thankful for such great and loyal customers, staff, friends, and of course my beautiful wife and famalia.
