Welcome to Mickey Finn's Brewery
Get Lit this weekend! Santa's Magic, Betty Soul, and the Libertyville Tree Lighting Ceremony. Saturday night get a little Chicago Twang with Hello Dave.
Thanks to all who made it out on a gorgeous Sunday, for our Chili Challenge 13. Lot's of regulars and lot's of new faces too. Nice of the guys from Emmett's Brewbup (East Dundee, and Palatine) to stop bye as well. Sorry the Bears never showed. All the chilis were fantastic. Congrats to the winners... (1)Dr. Ray Copeland and team, (2)Sean "Pheasant Man" Wilson and team, (3)and team Nyland. Thanks also to John Boggs the Third, for facilitating the event. Well, this Thursday night we have the acoustic trappings of the Bears vs. 49'rs in HD of course. Friday night it's the Legendary Rockstars. Saturday night it's classic 90's rock from the Independent Rock Society (IRS).
This Sunday, we are hosting our 13th Annual Chili Challenge, contestants cook up their special family recipe to compete for "Best in Show". From noon to 4:00pm join us in the Amber Room, $10 get's you entry, all the chili you can handle, and 2 hand crafted Mickey Finn's ales. Of course there is an open bar if you'd like something else. We'll also be enjoying the Bear/Cardinal game on our 3 HDTV's and our 190" HD Projection TV. It'll be a real gas. Stop in to get your tickets.
Friday night one of our two favorite bands from Bloomington, the Buzzkills, will be in the Amber Room. Saturday night it's Always Frantic.
And just to show you how fast this year has gone, Greg (our brewa), is brewing Santa's Magic today and tomorrow. It will of course be on tap for "Get Lit" the day after Thanksgiving.
see u Sunday!
Cheers,
Brian G.
ps. Happy Birthday to Mark Loeb
I hope everyone has their costumes ready. Mickey Finn's annual Halloween bash with musical guest Henneberry. Cool thing is the band and their significant others transform the Amber Room to a haunted house of terror. Well maybe not terror, but it's pretty cool. We'll have prizes for best costumes and drink specials.
Friday night the guys from InLine 6 rock the AR.
Today and tomorrow at Finn's we are offering our 1994 menu at 1994 prices. Go back to a simpler time when grunge ruled the airwaves and you weren't upside down on your mortgage. Beer too!
Thanks to the guys from Royal Bliss for stopping at Finn's on their nationwide tour. Awesome band, very cool dudes.
Thursday night join Kevin Spica of the Usuals for a night of "acoustic'sh" music in the old bar. As per usual, no cover. This Friday we have another new band for Finn's, Alternative Theory, one of the hottest new cover bands in Chicago.
Saturday our good buddies from Tokyo Fish Market rock the Amber Room.
Don't forget the big Halloween Party on the 31st. Prizes for best costumes, candy shots, our house band Hennebeery, and of course the haunted Amber Room.
I took Jetta down to IU this weekend for our Homecoming game vs. UofI, so she could see what a beautiful campus we have down there. And the Hoosiers didn't disappoint (for once) either. Also, good to see my old roomy Lance, and his beautiful family.
Cheers,
Brian G.
Don't forget this Wednesday night a hump day special, national touring artist Royal Bliss plays a special $5 show in the Amber Room. These guys are great and will be huge some day, and you'll be able to say you saw 'em at Finn's. Doors open at 7:00pm
Thanks to all who showed up the for the fundraiser this past Sunday, the event was packed and we hope they Lenny Morgan and the crew from Kaiser's Pizza raised lots of money for their longtime employee Olivera Djordjic, who looks great by the way. If you couldn't make it, but would still like to donate the mountain of medical costs she still faces, please contact Lenny at Kaisers.
Also thanks to Larry Pascale and Gunnar Nelson...great show guys.
Cheers,
Brian G.
