Simon’s Pub

The first time I tried to come here at 10pm, it was closed! Theresa is nice. The retro wood wall paneling and wooden booths are great. It’s weird how many dive bars in this area don’t have booths. The other vintage décor is great. I could do without the seasonal décor though. It’s a bar, not your mom’s family room. A lot of the music was also from around 1985, when the bar was founded. That’s great. I’ll be back here.

The very first day I walked in Simons I felt at ease.
Very cool little joint. Met Barry and a few regulars that were great.. Cool jukebox, lightning playoff game… had a blast.
What really impressed me about the place is when I came in for my second visit, Barry says. .hey Mike. .good to see ya again
Only been here a handful amt of times now but really feel welcome everytime.
If you’re in Dunedin, please stop in and say hello. you will be pleasantly surprised.

This neighborhood pub is located between a laundry mat and Munchee’s convenience store. This was the first place i saw nearby when i first moved to my apartment in Dunedin so we decided to go. When you open the door the smell of cigarette smoke really sorta hits you. It’s casual and nothing fancy. This place has 2 pool tables, multiple pub booths, small variety of chips, an ATM (although they do take credit or debit), even a lighted christmas tree. My SO and i usually sit at the bar so we can talk to Barry or the other bartender (who is a really cool lady but i forgot her name). This truly has that (chinchorro) neighborhood bar feel and once you meet people and come back again, it’s usually the same new acquaintances you made. You can download the Touch Tunes app on iphone or android, purchase credits, search and play songs of your choosing– fair warning: if people ordered prior to you, it may be a short while before they play it. Barry gave me to Try the Shock Top Apple beer (which i was hesitant to try and is now my regular when i come here) and my SO ordered the Yeungling… best part is that they were only $ 2.50 each. I would probably come here more often if it wasn’t because of the cigarette smoking that goes on inside. I hate that after leaving, there’s a lingering smell of cigarettes on yourself and your car. It has its Pros and Cons. Overall, It’s nice to know there’s a place to play pool and drink cheap beer a short drive away from my apartment.
