Festive neighborhood bar in Fox River Grove that's not really on a dead end. It's actually next to the bridge and marina. Dead End looks like it's seen many years of drunken fun. Has lots of cheap beers on tap and tons of liquor bottles all over the place. The food is better than typical bar stuff. Cool thing about it is it's next to the water, so you can pull ashore and tie up a boat. It also seems to be popular with bikers, because there's always a few motorcycles in the parking lot. The drinks are the main thing, but the food is better than expected for a place looking like this. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. As for the food, the best appetizers are the chips and fries. It's about $8 for a good portion. There's also pizzas that are homemade not frozen and then they'll bake these. Good stuff for an unassuming bar. It sure doesn't look like much from the outside, and inside isn't anything fancy to be sure. They also have a few cheesecakes that are made local and these make a good treat for then or whenever.

The chicken noodle soup is the we also had the cheeseburger... cooked perfectly. Service was great

The Dead End is one of my favorite bars in the country! Every year I visit my best friend in Fox River Grove and we always go to the Dead End and have an amazing time! The drinks are good and cheap! There’s old style in tap and the gluten free pizza is amazing! You would have no idea it’s a cauliflower crust it tastes just like a usual chicago pizza and the crust is so crispy (which can be a struggle for gluten free crusts)! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
