A neat place!

I like going here. It's got a nice feel to it and seems to have a rich history. The last time I went, there was a live band, which was good, but very loud. Make sure you sit at the bar because that's where all the fun's at. The bartenders are great and friendly (especially the bald guy and the lady with the bangs--I don't know if there are others, but those are the only I've seen). You gotta check this one out if you're in Andersonville.

I like the atmosphere, but hate the smoke and the bartenders, who have the worst attitude I have ever seen. Also, the crowd has gotten young and clueless. It just isn't the quality hang it used to be. Did I mention I hate the bartneders???

Simon's is full of the nicest most interesting people I have met to date. I prefer the afternoon crowd and regulars as oppossed to the want to be younger crowd that filters in after Nine. The 60's may be over, but good conversation with inteligent people is timeless. As for compliants about the smoke? It's a bar! Pretty soon conversation and music will annoy people. Simon's is by far the best bar in the city, unique, a gem in it's own.
