Seasonal Updates for Big Star

As you may recall, Big Star was home to one of the hottest patios in Chicago this summer -- and that's big news in a city that really, really loves any opportunity to enjoy good weather when we've got it. The good news for Big Star continues, however, with the announcement that they'll be adding an awning and enclosing the acclaimed patio in glass so that the space can be utilized throughout the cold weather months as well.

No worries -- the patio will be heated during the winter. Come summer, the glass enclosure will come down but the awning will stay to provide more shade on the sun-soaked patio. This is excellent news for all of the fair-skinned Big Star lovers; you could get quite the sunburn out there on a sunny afternoon.

In addition to these spacial improvements, Big Star announced that the menu is getting some updates as well. They're adding more tacos and will be doing more beer dinners in the future. Big Star is so beer-crazy that they've teamed up with Goose Island to create their own brew, Deguello, which they describe as "super food friendly." Rumor has it that the beer will be available as soon as early November. Hooray!
