Many stories have a Happy Ending. Sometimes it’s earned. Sometimes, a last-minute swerve saves the day. 

And sometimes, things just don’t work out. 

Bad Ending is a cozy bar and live music venue located in the iconic Upper Monroe neighborhood. We’re proud to continue the tradition of hosting local and national talent in a building that’s seen hundreds of bands come across its doorstep.

Our kitchen is open till midnight serving a tasty, no frills menu for those moments when it’s well past dinnertime and everywhere else is letting you down.
