1. 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 Julie Warpinski's 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.

2. Set to the sounds of 1960s and 70s Chicago soul and blues, Dove's Luncheonette offers counter service morning, noon and night in the heart of Chicago's Wicker Park.

Chef de Cuisine Dennis Bernard's inviting menu delivers Southern-inspired Mexican cuisine, alongside a tequila and mezcal-focused bar program, with the spirit of genuine hospitality. The 41-stool luncheonette takes its name from Nelson Algren's A Walk on the Wild Side, and draws inspiration from bygone diners and watering holes to create a place where people from all walks of life can converge over a cup of coffee, cocktail, and a great meal.

3. The Violet Hour serves artisanal cocktails in the heart of Wicker Park. Rooted in pre-prohibition style libations, the James Beard Award-winning bar program features a seasonally rotating cocktail list, as well as an extensive selection of approachable and sought-after spirits.
