We were looking for a place to watch the Blackhawks game last night, and I suggested The End Zone since I have a penchant for going to shitty bars most people would never dare set foot in... And I'd never been inside The End Zone, but it looks both old and dingy from the outside AND it's set creepily back away from the road surrounded by trees and old cars in their parking lot that seem abandoned (There were definitely way more cars than people there.) so, naturally, The End Zone seemed perfect in my book. Well, the good news and the bad news is I found my limit when it comes to dirty creepy dive bars. You walk in, and you're met with a huge red sign detailing their dress code. I'm not sure if it's serious or not, but it read a lot like those signs you used to see at bowling alleys and skating rinks to try to curb gang activity. This doesn't inspire confidence, particularly when you consider how secluded this bar is. Inside are a couple poorly lit pool tables, some really weird leather couches, and a dimly lit bar framed by what looked like 10" TV's hanging from the ceiling. An odd funk (mildew?) was in the air, but that might've been because of the recent hot and humid days we've had. On the up-side they had a decent selection of beers for an Aurora dive bar where you're typically limited to beers on the level of Old Style... But man, the floor behind the bar and the area leading the the kitchen was dirty with a capital D. Originally we had plans to eat there, and figured we'd start things off by ordering an appetizer. We've been to other bars that have great home made potato chips, and there's seriously just nothing better that goes with beer when they're cooked fresh. Well, a few minutes later a guy emerges from the kitchen with some of the greasiest chips I've ever had in my life which obviously had been sitting under a heat lamp for ages. This doesn't inspire confidence, and made us decide to just go somewhere else as if you can't get the basics, like combining hot oil and potato to make fresh chips, I'm definitely not going to order anything more complicated. Overall, I just feel like I went to a totally different restaurant when comparing the vibe, the smell, and the food we got here to semi-recent positive Yelp reviews. I sold the place to my girlfriend with the macaroni burger mentioned here (which is no longer on the menu) and the "mouth watering" smells of good food. Yeah, definitely not the case. Very, very, very disappointed. We ended up going to Mike & Denise's just up the street and the difference was INSANE. If you've seen Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, it's like The End Zone is Club 30's when the kids are exploring it, and Mike & Denise's is Club 30's after Michael Jackson opens the door. That's the absolute best way to describe the situation.

Cheap beer and awesome wings. Great place to watch a game or sit out in the beer garden. Friendly owner and workers.

We came with a restaurant.com coupon as we live close and had never tried the End Zone out. At first impression yeah it did smell a little like mildew and wasn't a whole lot to look at, but it was clean and there were plenty of places to sit. The bartender/server came right to our table and was super nice so we were instantly comfortable. We got our drinks right away and the server was able to recommend good menu options. I had the macaroni burger and everything on my plate was hot and freshly made. The macaroni was honestly the best I have ever had! I've spent my whole pregnancy trying to find the best mac n cheese and this hit the spot. My husband had the windy city burger and that was also really good. They have great food, lots of specials, live music, and things going on for football game days. We will be back!

This place sucks. Honestly, don't even waste your time. We came here during a hawks game because everywhere else was packed. We should've known it was a bad idea when there were only four people inside and every other restaurant around was PACKED. First let me start with the fact that it smelled. When we first walked in it smelled like mold. Gross! The seating leaves MUCH to be desired. A couple old tables & chairs. None of which are comfortable. Service was so-so. She was nice, but only gave us one menu. She was very slow on getting us another beer when we wanted. It's not like they were busy. Then, the food. Ugh, the food. We started with a quesadilla which was alright. It was pretty good, but I've definitely had better. I ordered the cheeseburger and my boyfriend had the Italian beef. The cheeseburger was disgusting. It had a weird taste which I couldn't place my finger on. The fries were gross too. I don't like ketchup but I found it weird that they served ketchup packets instead of in a bottle. Oh and did I mention there's either no AC or a very poorly working AC system? I was wearing yoga capris and flip flops and was sweating! We will never be back.

do I have to leave one star? waited 40 minutes for wings only to find out my order was never put in. paid for my beer (generous, I thought) and walked out. and if you missed my Tip, it says, "if you don't mind secondhand smoke, this is the place for you." nuff said. will not be returning, although I did want to try those $.50 wings.

A real shithole located in Aurora, IL. An old man/loser bar for those that like low-quality service and cocktails. Wow, that 32-inch boob-tube TV is nice...where did you get that from? LCD's and plasmas not your thing? Oh, ok. The sound system is about as cheap as the owner. I would rather go to Applebee's.

They had four of the tinyist Tvs all together in front of the bar. It was so cute. Read the reviews and didn't see an old man unless these people think thirties is old. They had one dollar domestic so there were quite a few drunks. It seemed like everyone knew the bartender by name so I guess if you live in the shithole of Aurora and looking for a bar that is not Spanish speaking requirement this is the perfect shithole. To be fair they actually have some big Tv;s and a pool table.

My first experience at this bar was not bad. My band played, the sound was terrible, but not a big thing. I didn't think twice when they asked us to play again for their 4 year anniversary party. Sure we will play! We ended up leaving and not playing since we were told we were playing at 10:00pm and it was already 11:30 and the first band hadn't played. I don't care for the owner since someone else booked the show, but he changed the whole schedule to his liking. It also seems like they are understaffed since you have to wait awhile to get a drink at the bar. I think a lot of the problems might stem from a certain someone. I won't be back.

Two stars? I must admit that I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for the rest.com coupon, but glad I did. Ok, so the place smelled kinda bad when I first walked in, but I didn't noticed the stench after a few minutes. I can't even put my finger on what kind of bad. It was a Saturday afternoon, and there were a few people (I peg them for regulars) sitting by the bar. The service was great! The bartender lady took good care of us and was attentive even though we were the only ones not sitting at the bar. Nachos with beef - REALLY GOOD nachos! I was surprised by this awesomeness of this appetizer. The chips were deep fried and slightly puffy. They were loaded with ground beef, beans and cheese. You can also get them with chicken or steak instead of beef. Italian beef - Pretty good, but wasn't a fan of the fresh cut fries. The onion rings were huge and I would order those rather than fries next time. There were plenty of TV's with different sports on them and a few pool tables.
