The Scene – A favorite of longtime neighborhood regulars--and an Andersonville institution since 1934--this low-ceilinged, low-lit and low-maintenance hang attracts one of the most diverse crowds on the North Side (equal parts gay and straight, young and old).

The Details on Simon's Tavern

Know Before You Go:

Simon's doesn't take credit cards, but there is an ATM just outside the door on the left.

When to Go:
