The owners of <a href="/Avec-Chicago-IL-reviews">Avec</a> started Big Star... nice group. Let's just say I went there 3 nights in a row so it must be good. Located across from The Violet Hour on Damen near Milwaukee. Great vibe, greater food and drinks. I'm in love.</p> <p><strong>The highlights...</strong></p> <p>- $2 tacos (chicken, fish, pork, veggie)</p> <p>- Impressive tequila &amp; bourbon list. Plus, a ginger &amp; beer cocktail that I love. Most cocktails are $7.</p> <p>- On tap: Goose Island's Matilda ($6), Lagunita lager ($4) &amp; Schlitz ($1)</p> <p>- Super fresh quacamole, handmade tortillas</p> <p>- Chill atmosphere, friendly staff</p> <p>- Good music. They play records. <strong>Yes real records on a record player!</strong> Mostly rockabilly, old country (think Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash) </p> <p>Go early-ish for any hope of getting a seat at the bar or seats anywhere, for that matter.</p>...
