Big Star

BIG STAR is a Whiskey, Tequila, Cocktail, and Beer-focused Venue located in the Heart of Wicker Park.
Executive Chef Paul Kahan and Chef de Cuisine Justin Large have crafted an eclectic menu inspired by Mexican Street Food in a space reminiscent of a California Honky-Tonk. The food, liquor and cocktail programs change continuously to complement the seasons, and always features six beers on tap, and an ever-growing selection of our House-Selected Single Barrel Bourbons and Whiskeys, picked by staff members at Distilleries in Kentucky.


Calumet Fisheries

Today there are only a few smokehouses left in Illinois. Calumet Fisheries is known – and recognized – for smoking its own seafood onsite. We use natural wood in the smokehouse, not liquid smoke or other industrial substitutes.
Calumet Fisheries was featured in Tony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” on the Travel Channel.

Coalfire Pizza

At Coalfire we serve an American spin on the traditional Neapolitan style pizza. Our oven is fired by domestic clean burning coal, allowing our pizzas to be cooked at over 800 degrees. Our pizzas come out with a distinct char that is considered “well done” but maintains a savory chew.
