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). Intriguing Viking figures and nautical paraphernalia dominate the decor behind the long bar; across the aisle, small tables line a wall bearing an elaborate but deteriorating hunting mural.

Editor's Tips
- 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:
- There's always something of a crowd, but you can usually still snag a seat if you get there by 9pm on Friday. And glogg lovers should visit in winter, when Simon's regularly serves the traditional mix of warmed port, vodka, raisins and spices.
