Simon’s Tavern

Top choice in Chicago


An Andersonville mainstay since 1934, Simon’s is a dimly lit musicians’ watering hole. The jukebox rocks an eclectic menu ranging from St Vincent to James Brown to Nas to Depeche Mode. In winter, in homage to its Swedish roots, Simon’s serves glögg (spiced wine punch). A giant neon fish holding a martini glass marks the spot. Cash only.
