The North End is a fantastic sports bar located at the top of Northalsted. It has an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere that attracts people of all ages. One of the standout features of The North End is its commitment to inclusivity, evident through their gender-neutral restrooms, which make everyone feel comfortable and respected. Inside, you'll find a lively and engaging environment with pool tables and dart boards, adding an extra layer of fun to your visit. The North End's relaxed and friendly vibe creates the perfect backdrop for enjoying a beer or a cocktail with friends or engaging in some friendly competition. The diverse crowd adds to its charm, showcasing the sense of community that thrives within the bar.

worst bar in the country

Rude bartenders, horrible management. My friend ran a tab and went to sign out and the bartender had lost his credit card. He did not offer an excuse, an apology, or even seem to care. The manager was even less helpful and basically said my friend was lucky he wasn't going to have to pay his tab. We will never step through the door again. And we will certainly encourage our friends to frequent friendlier establishments.

They Say no cover but they charge cover!

Very sad that they chose gay pride to break their "never a cover" ad. Oh well, I went next door and spent plenty of money.

Shame on you....

when I took my friends there for gay pride weekend and found them charging a cover. I believe it is reprehensible that they would take advantage of the situation and gouge people. The economy is bad enough....why take advantage of people... SHAME ON YOU!!!!
