Unfortunately, this was the best shot I managed to get.

Simone’s comes from the same folks who brought The Northside, Danny’s, Streetside and the Logan Bar and Grill to Chicago…The interior of Simone’s is undeniably unique. Crafted in many cases from remaindered building materials, decorative ephemera and bits and pieces of original architectural elements, the decor inside Simone’s ranges from a bar top built from a bowling alley lane to graffiti-scarred high school chemistry table tops to booths and a DJ station built from old pinball machines. Using vintage and remaindered materials is part of Simone’s environmentally friendly operations, something that includes a rooftop herb garden and banks of solar panels…Through the doors at the back of the front room is Simone’s Lab, another bar and performance area which focuses on art exhibition, salon-style discussions and performance and cultural events.

There was good music playing while we were there. They have rotating Dark Horse taps in addition to several other quality beers. It seemed every 15 ft. was a completely different vibe than the one before. Lots of great art; cool layout and design inside. Nothing like Northside, Logan and the others.
