Mickie Finn's first nightclub operated at 1051 University Avenue at 10th from 1960 to 1974. Fred and Mickie Finn converted an old warehouse into a rambunctious Gay 90s, Roaring 20s, Swinging 30s nightclub. It was the creation of piano player Fred Finn, who developed the concept into several forms - nightclubs, a 1966 television show, and a stageshow continuing on into the 21st century. In the early 1970s, Fred and Mickie opened the second nightclub in Beverly Hills. The first building remains, now as Rich's San Diego Nightclub.
