Keep your eyes peeled for a Viking fish toasting a martini and you’ll spot Simon’s. Laid-back barkeeps, wood paneling, a couple well-loved couches, and a jukebox stocked with a mix of indie hits and classics make Simon’s the consummate neighborhood bar. Named for the original owner, a Swedish immigrant, some 80 years ago, the tavern is best-known for keeping the neighborhood warm with generous portions of glögg—a hot spiced mulled wine—throughout Chicago’s unforgiving winters. If heated booze isn’t your jam, come by in the summer when they run it through a slushy machine and serve it chilled!
