<\/a>The refreshing thing about Endzone is that it makes no bones about being anti-hip. Aside from a couple of interior faux brick walls and sports d\u00e9cor, the L-shaped space looks like a page out of the 80s or 90s, before neighborhood bars started relying on themes and rustica to attract customers. Compared to when it was the beatnik-style Foundry, it\u2019s brighter and considerably less snobby.<\/p>\n
Take a close look at the top of the food menu. It reads: \u201cWe are a Tater Tot free zone.\u201d Finally, somebody has the wits to call out these munchies as hackneyed and overrated.<\/p>\n
Located in the heart of North Park, the exterior is unmistakable, given its big, bold yellow sign in front using a font that could easily lead you into thinking you\u2019re entering an arcade. And in some ways you are if any sports leagues happen to be playing. Expect standing-room-only crowds at those times.<\/p>\n Endzone\u2019s growing popularity is mainly due to its fast and friendly service and down-to-earth atmosphere. The price breaks during happy hour are additional draws, considering that you can drink down pitchers of domestic beer for $5 and pints for $2.50. Or if you\u2019ve graduated from Bud Light, the better stuff runs $10 a pitcher and $4 a pint.<\/p>\n The nachos are ridiculously cheap, selling for $2 a basket. They\u2019re nothing fancy, but you get a fair amount of chips piled alongside nacho cheese sauce, brined jalapenos and salsa.<\/p>\n While drinking our Stellas and Shocktops, we also ordered a handful of wings, priced at 75 cents apiece. We requested half the amount Buffalo style and the other half teriyaki. Both were over-sauced, and the teriyaki sauce was exceedingly viscous and sticky. In addition, the wings weren\u2019t crispy. Yet with enough cold beer and napkins on our table, we managed to wolf them down.<\/p>\n<\/a>
