I’ve been coming to Simone’s for years now and have always loved the atmosphere and love for Hispanic culture.
I recently visited Simone’s and had an extremely disappointing experience.
We went to Simone’s to celebrate my birthday, and while the atmosphere was great and the staff was initially helpful, the way they handled a major issue left us really disappointed.

I love this place I had not been here in probably 10 years and it’s no different if anything it’s become more nostalgic and comfortable. The staff is friendly the portions are generous. The sweet potato fries are amazing. The grilled cheese and tomato soup were just as I remembered that to be. Definitely worth making a trip to eat here it is not kid friendly after 8 PM. Awesome graffiti to walk around and look at all over the place!

About 8 years ago we had our employee Christmas party here. They accommodated about 50 of us and it went great. Just revisited again today just for a drink. Same friendly staff and funkalicious decor. So fun, love this place

Reviewing simple for this lil HH drink I had at one of their salsa nights. It was so damn good! The vibes are 10/10 here and they have some amazing daily specials, one of the most extensive selections I’ve seen. I’ll be back. 💃🏾

“Came here for a night out for a coworker’s birthday and the vibes were 10/10 all night.”
Came here for a night out for a coworker’s birthday and the vibes were 10/10 all night! (Was a little confused about the cover fee but it’s whateva) It seems like they have 2 sides of the place, 1 is more chill than the other. (We went to both sides and like the more lovely one better!) The adult caprisuns… so cute and delicious (guava flavor). The DJ was pretty decent and had the crowd going! Was a great first time experience and would come back!

“Wonderful little spot to relax.”
Wonderful little spot to relax. Had the cherry cola in Cabo. It has pop rocks on it! And it was wonderful. Will come back any time I'm in the area

“Awesome wholesome place.”
Awesome wholesome place. There was Mexican Bingo today, plus free giveaways and samples from Gran Centenario. The girls were so pretty and nice. Big place and awesome backroom for a party.

“I’ve been to Simone’s a few times for the drag brunch hosted by Jasmine & Dahlia.”
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.

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.
