A friend had told us about this place. It is fantastic & so delicious. You won't be disappointed! But there was a huge line up & a bit of a wait, as it's a popular/famous place in the city. But well worry it.
Phenomenally cool watering hole that is deceptively deep and large. Regular crowd of offbeat locals and friendly staff give this place a lively atmosphere. For setting and atmosphere, I'd give this place a 5. The food we had was lousy. The portobello fries were salty and came with a side of soy sauce. The guacamole and chips were awful. These starters are best eaten after 6 or more beers. Others in our party had brunch fare and the one'll eyes and breakfast burger were well received but too many onions in the omelette. I had the blackened tuna sandwich. Meh. This place looks like a good one to drink away the afternoon but I don't recommend it for it's food.
I want to go back again and again. This spot is fun and tasty in every little way... the beer selection is great, their cocktails are unique and straight from the creativity of a good mixologist, and the food we tasted delicious! the only item we tried (we were there late night and had eaten dinner earlier) was the portobello fries served with wasabi aioli and soy dipping sauce. the server was absolutely adorable and attentive. and the brunch menu will make you drool. looking forward to going back!
An absolutely great place to grab a beer and wonderful burger.
The empanadas are superb the raspberry flavored beer is marvelous. The design of the place is creative and fun. Enjoy it!
One of my "go-to" bars is Simone's. This bar is located in the Pilsen neighborhood making it one of the better options around UIC. When you arrive...
...really creative in design, very comfortable, good friendly service, and an interesting beer selection. They have a decent food menu too. Another spot to check-out.
I’ve been to Simone’s a few times for the drag brunch hosted by Jasmine & Dahlia. These shows sellout and the area gets a bit packed, but the service is so good!!! Monica is a wonderful server who is patient and kindly explains everything. Ashley is always smiling and welcoming while helping out to keep everything running smoothly. I’ve been to several drag shows in different cities and states, they rock it at Simone’s!! Jasmine & Dahlia put on such a GREAT show!! If you’re in the Chicago area I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop by here!! It’s a great vibe for Sunday Funday!!! Also, we happened to get lucky and New Belgium Brewing reps were there and hosted a small event outside.
My favourite place to take a drink on Fridays after work, the music, atmosphere, food and drinks are sooooo good!!!
Everyone is so respectful and kind.
The simones pizza is the best 😍
This place is bigger than I thought. It looks like they have a lot of fun here.
The drinks are cheap, I didn't have the food, the staff was ok.
I got an interesting Thanksgiving themed drink... that came with a turkey baster... they called it "let's get basted"...lol...clever and tasty.
Great local spot! On my last visit we ended up with the best server ever; she recommended the Chipotle burger and it was on point! I also love the fact you can get a mix of regular+ sweet potato fries!!
We can always count on Simone’s after a long day of filming. We love the Monday special and look forward to our next visit!
What an incredible bar! Very eclectic all in vibe, decor, and extra entertainment. The bar is a repurposed bowling alley, they have s pelligrino bottles in their lighting, pinball machines in the ceiling, and quick salsa classes in the back.
Simone's is a great bar to hang out in the neighborhood. There's different rooms that allow for different vibes. The staff is nice and chill. I can see this place be fun and lovely but also pretty chill at the same time. Drinks were made well.
The neighborhood spot go thereeee it's all good. Beer and mixed drink selection is solid, and rotates seasonally. Solid par/pub food, and there's a healthy amount of Pilsen soul in the menu and in the staff.
They're nice to nice dogs. Treats and water available for good boys and good good girls to sit outside weather permitting
Very enjoyable experience, the nachos hit the spot after a long day out and the signature cocktails were delicious. Over all vibe of the place was pretty mello
Hey good afternoon this is my first time being here and let’s say it’s very awesome and amazing environment and I love the artwork how is represents the feeling of a good vibe all around you. The employees are so amazing and welcome as family member!!! Please come by and show your support to them !!!

Nice place. Loved the karaoke experience on Sunday night. Someone even proposed while I was there. It was beautiful 🥰Food was okay. I had chicken quesadillas. Waitress was attentive enough. I recommend a night on the town here.
I felt very welcomed starting off with the awesome doorman at the front. Went on a Friday night and didn’t wait long at all. Drinks were tasty and so were the tenders. Though they didn’t have a huge variety of craft cocktails, they did have more beers. I enjoyed the Mango Unchained cocktail. Will be back! 🙂
It is the happening place on 18th street. There are lines to get it. The service is outstanding, the beer selection is superb, the finger food is also delicious. Brian makes faboulous margaritas. I truly recommend them.
Had lunch at this spot today. Very nostalgic. Armando made great drinks and kept me laughing. A waitress, whose name I can’t remember, was very friendly as well—I named her “Sprite” because she was so effervescent. If you’re looking for a laidback, chill place to eat, this is it.
I love Simone’s! There’s always some to do. The drinks and food are adorable and amazing. I recommend going to Karaoke nights, or Latin /reggaeton nights to dance! One of my favorite local spots in Pilsen.
