Whether it’s a favorite concert, volleyball in the parking lot, watching playoff sports, a long night of polka dancing, or too many shared boots of beer, anyone who has lived in Madison for a while probably has a memory of spending time at the Come Back In and adjacent Essen Haus. With long-planned redevelopment officially in the works, the bars announced their final day of operation will be Aug. 31. Music fans still have some opportunities for a final visit or two; coming up at Essen Haus is the Gary Beal Band on Aug. 30-31 (7 p.m.). The Come Back features open mic on Mondays, Dan Maguire on Aug. 30, and Piano Man on Aug. 31 (all at 7 p.m.).
