COMING SOON IN APRIL

Quote:
Wrigleyville will get its own larger version of what may be Chicago’s most-popular bar and eatery this spring. Big Star Wrigleyville — across the street from Wrigley Field in the game-changing Hotel Zachary at 3640 N. Clark Street — will give Cubs fans, locals, tourists, and hotel guests two floors and a large patio full of tacos, whiskey, beer, honky tonk and more that continuously packs One Off Hospitality Group’s original Wicker Park icon. The opening is slated for early April, in time for the Cubs’ home opener, according to a news release.

At two floors and 383 seats, the Wrigley space is much larger than the original. And despite it being new construction, ownership is implementing many of the features the Wicker Park space is known for, including the light-up “tacos” sign, a similar honky-tonk playlist, and most notably a large outdoor space with seating for 87 people and views of the ballpark.

The food and drink will also be similar to the original, so expect tacos, queso fundido, guacamole, margaritas, cheap and craft beer, and a large bourbon selection. It will also have a take-out window, a popular feature at the Wicker Park location.

Besides the size, there are a few differences in the Wrigley spot. Most notable of these is a space for live music, as the release states that the location will “double as a performance venue.” The second floor, another notable difference, will be available for private events.

i would love to see the financial modeling on this place. that's an enormous space to maintain in the offseason. they'll really need to bank summer receipts to cover winter/spring.

It was FLY ME TO THE MOON, because a Sinatra Like Piano Bar was a great idea in Wrigleyville, then they became ROOKIES and they took down the Sinatra Pictures and put up about 5 pictures of CUB players and became a sports bar!!!!!!!!!

Is it great pizza? Nope, it is what Dominaoes used to be,!!

I think he had convinced himself that he was the first person in HISTORY to smoke a tri-tip roast.

Wife loves all things Mexican food. Her brother is 100% hipster. It'll be good. I've only done the tacos once at the UC...didn't see any reason to deal with the line. A line here will push me straight to El jardins.

Just don't sing along with it: cerebral rape and pillage will get you in big trouble these days.

I missed that, but Biggie was a big shooter...it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The ones at Sweet Baby Ray's were like 23 bucks, though.

And towards the end, he made sure to let you know he was too.

Bob, it was a stupid bigfan typo. He put two dollar signs in there because who knows why; $23$

I think he had convinced himself that he was the first person in HISTORY to smoke a tri-tip roast.


He also seemed to think that he turned everybody on the board on to Lew Malnatee's, and he was the only person who doesn't buy pizzas from the shitty chains.

Love Big Star....good Tacos, great drinks.
Love the Cubs and Wrigley.


This place is gonna be an overcrowded mob scene on gamedays, probably not worth the trouble of getting in there before a game. I'll just stick with bagels' favorite place, 'Toons, if I have time to get somewhere before a game.
