So Simons has gone through some recent remodeling and I absolutely love it, I had not been in over a year because it always seemed empty but I went to one of their shows where they brought in a traveling artist and it was amazing. They have really started to embrace the community and it shows. My recommendation would be to look and see what events are happening before you go so you're not thrown off by higher door prices if they have someone more well known performing. I am excited to see what other artist collaborations the bring in the future!

Simon's is LEGENDARY! This historic venue is one of the first electronic music venues in the State of Florida and has played host to the WORLD'S TOP ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCERS and DJs over the years. If you are a fan of underground electronic music, especially House, Tech House, Jungle, Drum and Bass, and Techno, this is the place to go. The vibe is very undergroundish and reminds me of the golden days of the L.A. Underground and Rave scene. If you go here, ALWAYS check to see who is performing. Often you will be blessed with some of the best DJs in the world. I have seen so many amazing DJs over the years Josh Wink, Danny Tenaglia, Green Velvet, Claude VonStroke, LTJ Bukem, Evil Eddie Richards, DJ SS, AK1200, Dieselboy, John Summit, Dillon Francis, Dombresky, Sasha & Digweed, and so many, many more. Honestly, if you are here for the music and want to dance in one of the most legendary nightclubs in Florida, check out Simon's! It's iconic and has had such amazing talent perform there. It is honestly a very magical venue!

Went for there are New Year's Eve party, and it couldn't have been any better. The staff was attentive and personable, the music was incredible, the sound is on point, and the bartenders made each guest feel like a VIP the entire evening. It was a wonderful experience and was totally worth the 2 hour drive there to dance the night away! Will be back
