Billy Goat on Madison – The Original Blackhawks Bar

When you come out to root for your first place Chicago Blackhawks, be sure to stop by the Billy Goat Tavern on Madison to celebrate! After-all, we’re the original Blackhawks bar. Our original location was on Madison directly across from the old Chicago Stadium and opened in 1934. We started serving Blackhawks fans when the Indian was just a papoose.
