Big Star Chicago
Big Star is a bourbon and beer-focused, taco-slinging, late-night honky-tonk in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. Executive Chef Paul Kahan and Chef de Cuisine Chris Miller menu, inspired by authentic Mexican street food, is complemented by an extensive house-selected single barrel bourbon program. Housed in a defunct 1940's gas station, the taqueria’s soundtrack of classic country and rock & roll is selected and spun by our bar staff.
Great parties start with great people.
Big Star is hiring an Event Sales Manager to help bring private events, food truck experiences, and off-site celebrations to life. If you're passionate about hospitality, love connecting with people, and know how to make every event unforgettable, we'd love to have you on the team.

It's hot, and we've got the perfect drink for you on special in Wicker. Adrian's "Rum Rodeo" is a delightful blend of coconut & dark rum, pineapple, lime, elderflower AND a splash of tonic. Swing through and try one!
