About The Blue Finn

Located at 13330 E. 10 Mile Road (just west of Schoenherr) in Warren, The Blue Finn – also known as Blue Finn Bar & Grill – was a popular bar & grill and live-entertainment venue in Metro Detroit www.ticketfairy.com. It was known for combining a full-service kitchen and bar with nightclub-style entertainment. The venue’s signature features included a long central dance floor, a full bar with multiple HD TVs and games (pool table, MegaTouch gambling machines, Keno) www.ticketfairy.com, plus “Blue” nautical-themed décor and lighting alluding to its fishy name www.ticketfairy.com. With seafood specialties like perch and fried shrimp on the menu www.ticketfairy.com, The Blue Finn branded itself as a “casual, upscale dining experience” www.ticketfairy.com. Over the years it became a fixture on Warren’s nightlife scene – not a standard fast-food pub or high-end club, but something in between: a friendly neighborhood tavern where you could have dinner, learn to line dance, and dance the night away www.ticketfairy.com. (As of 2022 the Blue Finn location closed and was later rebranded as Club Echelon, but the history and character of the Blue Finn remain well-remembered by locals.)

Events and Programming

The Blue Finn’s calendar was very active, especially on weekends. It held weekly Monday night line-dancing classes (open to the public) followed by DJ dance parties www.ticketfairy.com, and on most other nights featured rotating DJs or live cover bands. Music ranged from country class’ on “Honky-Tonk Tuesdays” to classic rock, Top 40, Motown and oldies on weekends www.ticketfairy.com. Special events and themed parties were frequent: for example, on Mother’s Day 2022 it hosted a “Mimosas & Music” brunch (12:30–3:00pm) with buffet and live music www.ticketfairy.com. That event was ticketed at $44.95 including food and reserved seating www.ticketfairy.com. Holidays and sporting events also drew special crowds. In summary, Blue Finn programming was geared toward adults looking for a dinner-and-entertainment night out www.ticketfairy.com. Ticketed events (brunches, band nights) often required advance purchase; free or low-cover entry was common for casual-weeknights. Patrons should watch the venue’s event listings or social media to know what’s on – classic recurring events at the club included live weekend bands and DJ nights, weekly line dances, and occasional themed brunches www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com.

Tickets and Booking

Ticketing at The Blue Finn depended on the event. For regular meals and dancing, no ticket is needed. But special shows (holiday parties, large bands, brunch events) often require advance tickets or reservations www.ticketfairy.com. For major events, tickets were sold through third-party sites or by calling the club, with limited door sales if not sold out www.ticketfairy.com. As one example, the Mother’s Day “Mimosas & Music” 2022 brunch had $44.95 tickets sold online (including food) www.ticketfairy.com. Smaller live-music nights typically had modest cover charges ($10–$20 when headliners performed) www.ticketfairy.com, and many midweek DJ nights were free or pay-at-door. Because popular weekend shows often sell out, it’s wise to book early. Check The Blue Finn’s official Facebook page or a reputable event site for presales and on-sale dates www.ticketfairy.com. Note there was no dedicated box office at the bar – consider it like booking a ticketed dinner event through the club’s partners www.ticketfairy.com.

Seating and Layout

The Blue Finn was designed more like a dance club than a seated theatre. It had an open-floor layout with no fixed row seats www.ticketfairy.com. One long wall was dominated by a bar, and the center of the room was mostly clear space used as a dance floor when busy www.ticketfairy.com. Around the edges you’d find high-top tables, booths and stools. There were no private VIP balconies – everyone remained on the main floor www.ticketfairy.com. For the best view of bands or DJs, front-center tables nearest the stage were ideal, though they fill up fast www.ticketfairy.com. Guests who prefer to dance typically gather directly in front of the stage■. By contrast, diners and those wanting a quieter vantage often sit at side tables toward the back www.ticketfairy.com. Note that The Blue Finn’s sound system was loud and club-like – ceiling speakers provided powerful, music-room sound for performances www.ticketfairy.com. If the volume is high, it’s sometimes easier to hear from the back or sides of the room, since seating near the stage or rear wall yields clearer vocals www.ticketfairy.com.

Getting There and Parking

The Blue Finn’s exact address is 13330 East 10 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48089 www.ticketfairy.com. It sits in a suburban retail corridor, easily accessible by car. From I-75, take the 10 Mile Road exit and head west; from Van Dyke Avenue, take 10 Mile westbound. The venue has its own parking lot immediately adjacent to the building, and parking is generally free for patrons www.ticketfairy.com. Because 10 Mile is a busy thoroughfare, many fans approach via I-75 or Van Dyke to reach the exit safely. On busy Friday/Saturday nights the lot can fill up, so arriving well before showtime is recommended www.ticketfairy.com. Street parking along 10 Mile or nearby side streets is very limited and often fills; note that nearby residential roads typically prohibit overnight or long-term parking www.ticketfairy.com. Uber/Lyft or taxis can drop you off right at the front entrance on 10 Mile. For public transit, SMART bus Route 510 stops at 10 Mile and Van Dyke (roughly 0.2–0.3 miles east) . From that corner it’s a short walk west along 10 Mile to the club. (There is no direct rail service; driving, rideshare or local bus are your best access routes.)

Inside the Venue

Expect a lively bar & club atmosphere once inside The Blue Finn. Upon entry a small security check is common – IDs are checked for age, and larger backpacks or outside contraband are typically not allowed www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. There was no formal coat check, so guests are advised to keep belongings with them (the bar can get warm on dance nights) www.ticketfairy.com. The dress code was casual evening attire (jeans, T-shirts, button-downs, etc.) www.ticketfairy.com; no jacket or tie required. However, overly beachy shorts or athletic wear might stand out in the nightclub-style crowd www.ticketfairy.com. Inside, one wall holds a long, fully stocked bar serving beer, liquor, cocktails and Keno games www.ticketfairy.com. Above the bar are TV screens showing major sports and events www.ticketfairy.com. When DJs aren’t spinning, a jukebox is available in the corner www.ticketfairy.com. Off to the side there’s a pool table for casual use www.ticketfairy.com. A full kitchen serves the menu – highlights included seafood (fried perch, shrimp, fish tacos) along with pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and pasta www.ticketfairy.com. The daily happy hour (3pm–6pm) featured appetizer and drink specials www.ticketfairy.com. Many patrons arrive early to eat: be sure to order by around 10pm, since the kitchen closes before last call www.ticketfairy.com. Restrooms are located down a back hallway www.ticketfairy.com; on busy nights ladies’ rooms can form a line. Note that no free Wi-Fi was advertised www.ticketfairy.com, so plan for limited cellphone connectivity. In summary, The Blue Finn felt like a hybrid dining-club lounge: you could start with dinner at a table and stay late dancing by the bar. Music was typically loud during dance nights, but in early evening it was turned down for conversation www.ticketfairy.com. Wheelchair accessibility is generally provided (level entrance, ramps) and ADA compliance is said to be met, but the restrooms and walkways can be tight for large mobility devices www.ticketfairy.com. Guests with special needs are advised to call ahead. Finally, note that outside food, drink and professional camera gear were not allowed www.ticketfairy.com. (Personal cameras and phones were fine, but a quick bag check is standard at the door www.ticketfairy.com.)

Nearby Amenities

The Blue Finn was part of a small strip mall with a few neighboring businesses. Within a short drive there were several casual dining options. Notably, Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders (11536 E. 10 Mile, about a mile east) was a popular spot for pizza and subs www.ticketfairy.com. Van Dyke Avenue (one block east) is lined with diners, fast-food chains, and coffee shops within minutes of the club. If you arrive early, nearby Warren bars and sports pubs on 10 or 12 Mile can serve as pre-show hangouts www.ticketfairy.com. After Blue Finn events, some patrons prefer late-night eateries; several sandwich and pizza shops along 12 Mile lit up after midnight. Hotels are not adjacent to the venue, but a few motels lie within a couple miles. Quality Inn and Best Western are about 2 miles south on Van Dyke (near 12 Mile) www.ticketfairy.com. A row of chain lodgings (Holiday Inn Express, Microtel, etc.) is located about 2–3 miles north on 12 Mile, closer to downtown Warren www.ticketfairy.com. (Downtown Detroit hotels are roughly a 25–30 minute drive east.) For quick shopping needs, a convenience store, deli and drugstore are just a block away in the same plaza as The Blue Finn www.ticketfairy.com.

What Makes This Venue Special

The Blue Finn carved out a unique niche in the local scene by being both a restaurant and a dance club under one roof www.ticketfairy.com. Unlike most bars that focus only on drinks or dancing, the Blue Finn let you do both: start with a seafood dinner and end the night on a live band’s dance floor. Its weekly Monday-night country line-dancing class drew people from across Metro Detroit who might otherwise travel farther for a country dance hall www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. Regulars praise the venue’s “homey” feel – it never felt like an imposing nightclub but more like a friendly neighborhood tavern “where something exciting is happening” www.ticketfairy.com. Over nearly two decades it became a go-to spot for celebrations: birthday parties, reunions and even small weddings have been held there. In short, Blue Finn’s blend of good food, good music, and a welcoming atmosphere made it more than just another bar – it was a local entertainment hub cherished by longtime Warren residents www.ticketfairy.com.

Visitor Tips and Information

Hours: The club’s weekly schedule was unusual. It was closed on Mondays, then opened at 11:00 AM Tuesday through Friday www.ticketfairy.com (with brunch or dinner service) and at 5:00 PM on Saturdays www.ticketfairy.com. Sunday afternoons (around 1:00 PM) were also sometimes open for brunch events www.ticketfairy.com. On open days the venue typically stayed open late (often 2:00 AM). Plan your arrival accordingly if you want to catch dinner or an early show www.ticketfairy.com.
Age & ID: After early evening, The Blue Finn was primarily a 21-and-over nightclub due to alcohol sales www.ticketfairy.com. Carry a valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport) for age verification. For example, the 2022 Mother’s Day brunch was marked “All Ages” www.ticketfairy.com, but most evening events require ID. If you plan to bring minors (for a daytime event), confirm beforehand whether kids are permitted.
Dress Code: Casual attire was perfectly acceptable (jeans, shirts, etc.) www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. There was no strict dress policy beyond that. T-shirts, sneakers and casual footwear were common www.ticketfairy.com. That said, avoid overly beachy short outfits or gym clothes if you want to blend in with the club’s nighttime crowd www.ticketfairy.com.
Seating Strategy: Seating was first-come, especially on busy nights. If you plan to dine or prefer a seat, arriving early is wise – claim a booth or table on the sides or back before the dance floor fills up www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. (Pro tip: choose a table toward the rear if you want a guaranteed seat; the front tables will fill first when music and dancing ramp up www.ticketfairy.com.)
Parking/Transport: Always use the free lot next to the building for parking www.ticketfairy.com. Do not park on nearby residential streets overnight. If the lot is full, the closest overflow spots are a few legal curbside spaces (often hard to find on weekends) www.ticketfairy.com. For hard-to-find directions, note the club is just west of the 10 Mile/Schoenherr intersection. Riders should ask for drop-off at the club entrance on 10 Mile. Cabs or rideshares are handy given the possibility of crowds.
Food & Drink Policy: The Blue Finn had an on-site kitchen and full bar, so outside food or coolers were not allowed www.ticketfairy.com. Purchase all meals and drinks at the venue. Menu highlights were fresh seafood and classic grills, and the bar served beer, liquor, cocktails and house specials www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. The kitchen closed before the bar (around 10:00 PM), so order food early if you intend to eat.
Bag and Camera Policy: Guests are advised to keep personal items light. Large backpacks or professional video cameras are discouraged for security reasons www.ticketfairy.com. Cell phones and personal cameras were generally fine, but it’s polite to avoid flash photography during shows without permission. Expect a quick bag check at the door.
Accessibility: The venue strove to be ADA-compliant (ramped entry and main floor access) www.ticketfairy.com. However, restrooms and some circulation areas are somewhat narrow; wheelchair users may find certain paths tight www.ticketfairy.com. In summary, wheelchair access is available, but if you have specific mobility concerns, consider calling the club to confirm details.
Music & Entertainment: Blue Finn’s sound system and live acts were a major draw. Expect loud, danceable music and a vibrant party atmosphere on weekend nights www.ticketfairy.com www.ticketfairy.com. On slower nights the music volume is reduced for conversation. DJs typically bring their own laptops and mixers; the club provided the speakers and mixing table. If you enjoy country or dance music, check the schedule – Monday nights often featured country line dances, while other nights leaned toward rock, Top-40, or Motown.
