"For 12 years, Simone’s has been a Pilsen staple for sustainable bites, community events, and lots of fun. Locals flock to the neighborhood standby, whether they’re grabbing brunch with friends (try that breakfast burrito), attending an event to benefit a local non-profit, or just grabbing a drink after a long day. Perhaps the best part about Simone’s is their creativity at the bar. Take their Hard Target, for example. This sweet, spicy, and tangy drink brings together Tajín and freeze-dried strawberries, along with hibiscus liqueur, housemade agua de jamaica, lime juice, and Astral Blanco. It’s a super-balanced drink that’s as exciting as it is unique." - Ariel Kanter
"Simone’s is a Pilsen staple with solid food and beverage offerings and a stacked calendar of events and music. There’s always something going on and there’s also enough space to bring the entire crew on the day-drinking adventure." - AJ LaTrace
"Over in Pilsen, Simone’s unique space packs the crowds in on the weekends with DJs, a satisfying brunch menu, a fireplace, and more." - Naomi Waxman
"Simone’s is a quirky bar in the heart of Pilsen. The interior is made with reclaimed materials, including the bar that’s made from a bowling lane. There’s a variety of pub grub to go along with beer or a cocktail, whichever wets your whistle." - Eater Staff
"Located in Pilsen, Simone’s has been operating since 2010 and is the perfect bar for a late night, since it serves its full menu until 1 a.m. Try the Machata, with BACARDÍ Spiced Rum, spiced cream liquor, cream of coconut, and matcha green tea that’s shaken and served with crown of coconut flakes; or the Snow Blossom, with BACARDÍ Silver, orange blossom water, egg white, lime, and simple syrup. With a jam-packed event calendar, as well as a commitment to sustainability (they use 100% compostable containers, grow their own herbs, and offer affordable vegan and vegetarian options), this is a place you want to check out." - Vox Creative
