North End

Great bar with a fun vibe, clean space, and friendly staff. I had a really good time overall. The only downside was that the ordering felt a little up-sell heavy. When I ordered a vodka soda, I was automatically given Tito’s instead of a house vodka, which came at a higher price that wasn’t mentioned. I also asked for a black cherry White Claw and was told they only had it in the more expensive High Noon, which felt a little off. Still a great spot and I’d definitely come back — I just wish pricing and drink options were a bit more transparent.

I always have a great experience at The North End! The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and fun! The raspberry Cheeck & Chong’s THC seltzer is also so good!

One of the best bars north of Addison, in northern Northalsted/Boystown area.

This is the best service I’ve had in forever! Emma was our server and she was so attentive and had such a sweet personality. Will definitely being coming to north end again for food and drinks!

Pride 2023. Stopped for a few drinks before the parade, bar was at about 10% capacity. Bar tender was extremely rude and condescending, except to my husband. Second bartender was super nice as he openly hit on my husband but ignored me altogether. Everyone was so great, to my husband. Even on the way out as I tried to say thanks for the drinks while they were talking to the back of my husbands head. I'm the brown one in the marriage so I get this a lot...in Wisconsin. There was nothing friendly about this bar. Which is sad because I deleted a good review I left when I used to live around the corner to write this one. If you're a regular here I'm sure you're grandfathered in, but I can't imagine what it's like for people who come from far away seeking a sense of community only to find the same dehumanizing attitudes they could have stayed home for.

For a gay dive bar it's a 5/5. Friendly staff and friendly patrons. They have a variety of games (darts, pool) and TVs usually streaming sports. I like...

It really is a great neighborhood bar where they know your name and if you go often enough they know your drink, ask for the bartender Labake (la-ba-kay),...

The atmosphere at The North End is unpretentious and welcoming. It's my favorite gay neighborhood bar especially with Jesse and Javier. They are the best...
