Fodor's Expert Review Simon's Tavern
Far North and Far Northwest Sides
Fodor's Choice
This classic Andersonville bar honors the neighborhood’s Swedish roots with its signature drink, glögg—mulled Swedish wine, served hot in a mug in winter and in frozen slushie form in summer. The Viking/Midwestern-chic decor is eclectic and dive-y, but in a very good way. This is where the locals hang out. Simon's often hosts live music from area bands as well.
