Part of the Gay Chicago Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Chicago, Illinois
Salvage-decor Pilsen bar with drag brunch and Perreo Obscuro.
Simone's Bar is a Pilsen bar and restaurant decked out in salvaged, repurposed materials — old pinball glass, reclaimed wood — with DJs spinning most nights. It hosts a recurring drag brunch and Perreo Obscuro, a queer Latin dance party that pulls a young, mixed crowd to the neighborhood. The kitchen runs late, and the room shifts from a casual daytime hangout to a dance floor after dark.
