To minimize the spread of COVID-19, the State of Illinois has mandated the closure of all bars and dine-in restaurants. The North End, like other bars, will be closed an undetermined amount of time. While we are unsure of what to expect, we know that we have a strong community of friends and family. We have taken some necessary precautions, like continuing to cover the cost of all medical insurance and premiums, to support our all-star staff, but are looking for more creative outlets to help support their livelihood.

We have created a GoFundMe page where 100% of the money raised in the “Tip Bucket” will go to the staff of The North End.

We’ve cheered on the Cubs, we’ve shed tears for da Bears, and sponsored many LGBTQIA+ sports leagues to foster camaraderie and community. We’re passing the ball to you to help support the North End Team.

Please know everything helps and we truly appreciate you! We can’t wait to watch touchdowns, home runs, and goals with you over pizza and beers!

Stay safe and we hope to see you in April,

The North End
