November 7, 2026 by Chi@glance Leave a Comment

Big Star Wrigleyville’s
Holly Dolly Holiday Honky Tonk
3640 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613 https://www.bigstarchicago.com
Dates: Tuesday, 11/24 through Monday, 1/4
Hours: Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.
BIG STAR HOLLY DOLLY HONKY TONK: Country music legend Dolly Parton is inspiring this year’s Big Star Wrigleyville Holiday Honky Tonk, with the Holly Dolly Honky Tonk transforming the taqueria into a glittery, pink and sparkly holiday destination and spirited tribute to the beloved country icon.

Guests can sip and snack their way through the season with festive drink and food specials, including:
  • The Sonoran Hot Dog, a bacon-wrapped hot dog on a bolillo roll topped with charros, lime mayo, mustard, pico de gallo and habanero salsa
  • Al Pastor BBQ Wings served with chili ranch
  • The Big Star Bowl, featuring garlic rice, a choice of black beans or charros, elote, shredded lettuce, papas con rajas, queso fresco and crema, finished with a lime wedge.

Behind the bar, the team will be shaking up a lineup of seasonal, Dolly-inspired cocktails, including:
  • 9-to-5 Handshake, a shot of spicy Mijenta tequila or mezcal paired with a beer
  • Cup of Ambition, Big Star’s take on a hot toddy
  • Honky Tonk Angels Old Fashioned, made with Angel’s Envy Bourbon
  • Winterland Cranberry Collins, made with Layback vodka (or sub Layback Gin), lime, cranberry, and rosemary.
  • Returning favorites include Big Star’s iconic house margarita, dressed up with prickly pear and edible glitter as the Holly Dolly Margarita; and theJolene’s Martini, a minty twist on an espresso martini.

There’s no such thing as too much décor alongside a soundtrack of holiday-meets-country classics and festive food and drink specials to match. Whether gathering with friends or stopping in after an afternoon of holiday shopping, guests can soak up the seasonal cheer with enough pink and sparkle to make Dolly herself proud.

See YOU There!

NEW Location Alert!🚨 @Soulandsmoke is now open in NEW Location Alert!🚨 @Soulandsmoke is now open in Evanston, IL. The flagship location is where Bold BBQ meets elevated dining, community, and art. We were impressed with the curated art selection and the food was just as yummy and unique. 

It’s so hard to choose favorites, but I know you’re going to ask. 😂 So make sure you don’t leave without trying the Moto Cigar Bites, Potato Salad deviled eggs, Shrimp & Grits, Mac & Cheese, and Smoke Chicken Gumbo. There’s tons of desserts to choose from but I really liked the homemade peach cobbler and the sweet potato pie. Grab a cocktail! The vibe in the lounge is sexy! AND… guess what?!? You can bring Soul & Smoke home for Thanksgiving. Order NOW!
