Simone's Bar: Where the Cool Kids Hangout
Simone's Bar: 3.5 Stars!
960 W 18th St
Chicago IL 60608
http://www.simonesbar.com/
Eclectic and Hip Pilsen neighborhood bar with an urban cool decor featuring a pin ball machine theme. There is a diverse beer selection that includes both local and international beers. You can also find fun cocktails like a whiskey or rum hot toddy. The music like the spot is hip and as it gets later there is a DJ. The food is normal bar food. The staff is friendly. The primary downside is that because it's a neighborhood spot, parking is difficult. It's still worth checking out.

2nd Wednesday of the month-- 5-7pm
Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E Washington St.
2nd Wednesday of the month-- 5-7pm
All ages welcome!
So where's a kid who really wants to hone his or her chops go to find a woodshed? How about at the city's top spot for jazz and world music?
Through a partnership with the Chicago Cultural Center, Jazz Links has initiated a monthly jam session for young jazz musicians in Chicago. Students are given the opportunity to perform with world-class professionals in the Jazz Links house band, led by pianist Ken Chaney, with Robert Irving III on piano, Ernie Adams on drums and Lorin Cohen on bass. As a free event, the jam session is both an educational experience for the students and an intergenerational community event, where parents, teachers, students and the general public witness the development of young talent before their eyes and ears.
