Big Star

An homage to the honky-tonk bars, Big Star is Chicago’s bourbon and beer-focused, taco-slinging, honky-tonk hangout and industry favorite, with two locations in Chicago’s Wicker Park and Wrigleyville neighborhoods. Offering new takes on authentic Mexican street food by Executive Chef-Partner Paul Kahan, house staples include al Pastor, Baja and Panza tacos using house-made tortillas, along with vegan and vegetarian options. The extensive bourbon program is unlike any other in the country and boasts 20 exclusive House Barrel selections straight from the heart of Kentucky. The taqueria’s eclectic soundtrack ranges from classic country to 70s rock & roll, selected and and spun by a musically talented bar staff.
