If you want to meet up with friends and catch a game or play darts or pool then North End is your place. The bartenders are always really friendly, and the crowd is not the typical boystown crowd.

Great Neighborhood Bar

North End is a nice change of pace from Sidetrack and Roscoe's. It's a great sports bar with friendly staff and decent drinks. And, of course, lots of big screen tv's to watch all the sports you would want. It's got a couple of bars and pool tables. Definitely worth checking out.

Casual fun good time

I really like this place. One of the bartenders is always smiling. They have games in TV and not music playing over them - like a real sports bar should. People with attitudes tend to avoid this place, which is a good thing. It tends to get a good crowd during the summer with Cubs games. A fun night and good times.

So much fun and the staff is AMAZING!

I've never been to this end of the stip before and this instantly became my new favorite bar. The bartenders are super sweet and cater to all clients. The guy we had, Tom I think, couldn't have been nicer, he gave us a full boystown review with a droll sense of sexiness. I would recommend this to everyone!

NorthHalsted's sports bar

If you can handle sports with the sound off...this is a good bar. Pleasant staff. Pool tables and darts drew most of the crowd.
