Ifish FF gathering-Mickey Finn's

[Steve L.]

Anyone up for a westside gathering ? A chance to swill your favorite barley, single malt or other beverage and tell each other lies, I mean tales of daring do and fish caught. Tuesdays and Wednesdays work best for me, but I could probably get a liberty pass for another night. I'm sure we can find a pub to accomodate all tastes.

No one voted and i don't want to blind side anyone who is headed to MF's without reading the post so it's.............
Mickey Finn's eastside

[AndyK]

I could go for a night out. My wife owes me a couple...

Westside, eastside doesn't matter to me.

[Steve L.]

yeah, if it will bring out a few more of us I could go eastside. Either way it's all good.

[scoutfish]

I went to the last one in Hillsboro. Lots of fun I,m all over it, set a day lets do it. :dance:

Arnie..

[mpruet]

That would be great.

One of my resolutions is to get to know more of the folks here on iFish...and fish with them.

[lilnorthfork]

:cheers: Count me in... though next week mrs.northfork is on the road so I would have to bring the kids. :grin:

[frankenfish]

I could do it. Let me know the date.

[Mark Vickers]

Depends on the date, but I'm up for it! Shall we give the westside Mickey Finn's a try?

[R Jackson]

I'd try to make it.

[greenbuttskunk]

I'd like to join in on the fun, and open to any spot.
These gigs are always fun. :dance:

[Abalone]

Oh Boy ! This rain is getting oppressive !

[Steve L.]

How does next Weds. the 11th sound ? I'm all for Mickey Finns on the west side, but Mark will have to provide directions. Darned if I could find it anywhere on the internet (or yellow pages) :shrug:

If that night doesn't work speak up folks.........and by the way this isn't just a guys night out. If any of the FF ladies care to join in please do

[Mark Vickers]

Here is a link to it on Cityseach.com (http://portland.citysearch.com/profile/36598667/portland_or/mickey_finn_s_brew_pub.html). I'll drive by tomorrow and see if its still there.

If that doesn't work, we can always meet at the eastside Mickey Finn's, the unofficial home of the Ifish Flyfishers (according to Stew).

[mpruet]

I won't be able to make the 11th, will be coming back from San Fran.

Maybe I could drop by on my way from the airport, depends on the time.

[Stew]

Westside Mickey's sounds fine to me

[Mark Vickers]

Breaking news! The westside Mickey Finn's hasn't been a Mickey Finn's for years. :eek: This is now the Rogue Ales Public House.

Also, just as an FYI, the eastside Mickey Finn's has changed ownership in the last couple of months. The net effect has yet to be determined...

You guys just tell me where to meet and I'll be there to hoist a beer with you all. :cheers:

[SilverFly]

Just a suggestion. If eastside Mickey's isn't an option, there is always the Edgefield. I know Troutdale may be a bit TOO eastside for some folks, but hey, once you're east of I-205 it's only a few minutes further on I-84. Lot's of room, great food and even better beer! :food: :cheers:

The only other downside is there's a good chance I will show up! :wink:

--------

[R Jackson]

Edgefield is a great option, and don't forget that there are a ton of other brew pubs on the West side. :cheers:

[Steve L.]

I have to confess that I'm generally a dive bar kinda of guy. Any suggestions a little closer in to town ? East side Mickey Finns or a more central downtown pub ?

[SilverFly]

I don't get out much any more but there is also the Kennedy School run by McMenimans in NE Portland. Eastside Mickeys used to be a great spot, but don't know what it's like since they changed owners. Doesn't matter to me though, just making some suggestions.

Gizmo Man's house :bigshock:

[Mark Vickers]

Okay, since we seem to be unable to come to a decision, how about this...

Let's meet at the eastside Mickey Finns (our usual hangout) on Wednesday the 11th, at 6:30 or so . If people show up earlier, that's great, if they show up later, that's nice too.

[greenbuttskunk]

I'll be there! :cheers:

[K8_MT]

Hey guys- I have finally joined, and am now officially an ifish member, but haven't met many people yet. I would love to meet some new faces, fellow flyfishers, and am always up for a good fish tale.. and since you said that the ladies are invited, I'd like to meet you there, but not from that area, and don't know where Mickey Finns is located exactly.. :shrug: I'd be coming from the North--any good directions that you can give me?

[greenbuttskunk]

Mickey's in SE is on Woodstock Ave. and 43rd. Across the street from BiMart. It's a fishing theme family pub, with all kinds of fishing art and goodies. I've given them plenty of my mone over the years.

[Mark Vickers]

Speaking of Mickey Finns... Since we Ifishers seem to spend an inordinate amount of cash at this establishment, I wonder what the likelihood would be of signing them on as a sponsor of Ifish.

Giz or Stew. Any insight?

[greenbuttskunk]

yah, maybe stew could get some free onion rings out of them. :idea:

[Steve L.]

Mickey Finns is ok. However, I learned of a place today we may want to consider. Paddy's bar and grill, Yamhill and first. Highly recommended by an Irish friend, good food, good selection of beers and scotch

So let's take a vote Mickey Finn's or Paddy's ?

[gimmeumpqua]

Any of you Northerners with an airplane wanna come and pick up a few southerners for the get together...?

(feeling left out)

Kurt

[greenbuttskunk]

All I know if I'll take care of picking up FRG, he's gonna be the life of the party. :yay: :dance:
Come to think of it, the little dancing man was fashioned after Brian. :grin:

[FallRiverGuy]

All depends on how many shots of tequila are consumed.

[Gizmo Man]

Marc: interesting ? about MF being a sponsor.

Would have to see if they wanted and if Jen wanted it to happen.

Giz...

Just a reminder

[frankenfish]

Kurt,

Don't feel left out. If you can talk my wife into letting me get a pilot's license and buy a plane, all before the get-together, I'll fly down to get you. Actually, I've always wanted to get a pilot's license but my wife won't let me because I run out of gas in the car so often.

Anyway, we'll fish again soon on the North Umpqua and hit the Steamboat Inn for lunch or dinner.

Frank.

Hope you have better luck operating a plane that you did a pontoon boat Frank :wink:

[Steve L.]

As much as i'd like to share a drink and some lies...er stories with you all tonight I don't want to share whatever this crud is that I've caught :sick:.

Have a great time all.
