on Citysearch Feb 19, 2007If you're going to be on Franklin Street, this is definetly the place to be in Chapel Hill. The door staff are some of the nicest bouncers you'll ever meet and it only gets better. The bartenders and waitstaff also had a... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 13, 2007Time for a recent review. Visiting from out of town, this martini bar seemed like it would be a good place to have a drink and visit with friends. We were so turned off by the way in which we and other patrons in line were... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>East End's simple, cosmopolitan decor tells you that this is no college beer hall. Even though the atmosphere here isn't stuffy, you should head for the trendier part of your closet before... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 20, 2006To small! No dancing! Can't hear your self talk with the live music! The cover is way to high! Worst of all the Martini is not strong at all! (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2005Coming from the northeast I was excited to try the one and only martini bar in Chapel Hill. While not bad, it certainly does not succeed at being a hipster place to be in terms of decor (cheesy and obviously cheap), top... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2004This bar is my favorite bar in all of Chapel Hill, and believe me, I've been to plenty. The people who work there have awesome personalities and can make a damn fine drink. There are a few martinis not on the menu that I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2003On Franklin St, practically every other door is a bar, but the East End Martini Bar is the best - especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Back when I was an East End virgin, my friends and I were headed towards Linda's in... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 02, 2003I've been a customer of East End since its first week in business and I have to say that if you haven't been for the food it's definitely worth it. The seafood is always fresh and the restaurant is a great lunch spot if you... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 23, 2002East End has quickly become my go-to spot in Chapel Hill. I haven't eaten a full meal at East End yet but have heard great things about the food. I do have to say though, that the fries may be the best fries I've ever eaten.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2002The food here compares in taste to something at La Rez or Carolina Inn w/ a much cheaper price tag. The seafood is really fresh (shipped in daily I heard) and other entrees like pork tenderloin were absolutely... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 26, 2002What a hideaway in the bustle of Franklin Street! I consider myself now one of the privileged to know of this place. East End carries a brilliant variety of martinis, many I never knew existed. The food was devine and... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2002I had no idea that Chapel Hill had such a jewel in its storied crown. I was drawn to East End by the live music. We ventured in and were blown away. At the bartender's recomendation, we tried the pineapple martini, and... (more)
