Weekend Photos: Simone’s

Simone's—part hipster hang, part ongoing art project from the brains behind Danny's and Streetside—opened last week in Pilsen, officially bringing the craft-cocktailing trend to the South Side. We sent our photographer down to capture the (genius? bizarre?) clutter, which includes oodles of objects d'art, a bar top built from old bowling-alley wood, and pinball parts practically everywhere you look. The drink menu is equally eclectic, with cocktails such as the Double Bubble (Grey Goose La Poire, orange juice, and Champagne, with a pop-rock rim; $11) and winter warmers including Neptune's Cure-all (Sailor Jerry rum, hot water, butter, and spices; $8).

What a surprise, more pictures!

To Chicago Mag Editors, why are you still doing this? Why can’t we actually get a nightlife column? If Sarah isn’t around (I’ll hold my personal thoughts on her), then give it to someone else, or change the name of this column to something more fitting. I can’t speak for everyone, but you have to agree that a majority of readers could care less about this kind of stuff, there are better places to see pictures of new bar’s anyway. I will back you when you say that you don’t get paid for showing new, ‘hot spots’, but can you at least devote a separate column to that? I think everyone would agree we want a nightlife column, just like when Sarah was single. Maybe change it up and give it to a different single every week? Or maybe pick a new single bachelor? Something needs to change.
