"I go to Big Star Wicker for Old Fashioneds because they pair a killer whiskey selection with great tunes and a fun hang—the menu of tacos and queso fundido (and their fish tacos) makes it an especially lively spot." - Lisa Futterman
"A cash only bar serving up kick-ass tacos! Big Star has amazing outdoor seating for a summer night out with friends. You may have to wait to get a seat, but it's worth the while!" - Anna Zajac
"The Wicker Park location of Big Star has a perfect patio for people—it’s large and you can sit out there for hours eating tacos and drinking margaritas. But this place is ideal for dogs too, which is why you’re bound to see a lot of them here. Just be aware that if your pup is skittish, the nearby train tracks might trigger some Cruella de Vil flashbacks. Access exclusive reservations with your sapphire reserve card" - adrian kane
"Eating and drinking on the huge outdoor patio at Big Star is a classic summer-in-Chicago experience. And while the actual patio might not be available to you during Fake Spring, this place still has a huge glassed-in front area that will sort of make you feel like you’re outside. Get a margarita and some tacos, and find a spot as close to the window as possible. Access exclusive reservations with your sapphire reserve card" - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen
"A Wicker Park restaurant opened by Paul Kahan after working at Topolobampo, known for its tacos and whiskey selection." - Serena Maria Daniels
