Happy National Hot Dog Day!
July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day! Here’s our take on the “Chicago-Style” Dog. How about those pickle chips!
July is National Grilling Month
Happy National Grilling Month! Nobody knows their way around a flat top grill like Sam and the cooks at Billy Goat. The perfect Cheezborger is a work of art.
Our patties are made for stacking. They’re formed thin so they can be quickly seared – sealing a pop of mouthwatering, juicy flavor in each patty. By the time WE decide what YOU order, that hot and tasty Double Cheezborger is waiting for you at the end of the counter.
The tools of the trade:
Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.
Apollo 11 and the first liquor and food license on the moon

Billy Goat Tavern at Merchandise Mart
When it was built in 1930, The Merchandise Mart was the largest building in the world. It wasn’t long before Billy Goat Tavern opened on Madison in 1934. It’s fitting for two Chicago legends to team up and feed hungry shoppers delicious Cheezborgers.
Nearly 10 million people visit the Merchandise Mart each year. Next time you’re there be sure to visit Billy Goat for a Cheezborger and beer!
Bruno Mars at the United Center
On July 13, Bruno Mars brings his Moon Shine Jungle Tour to Chicago! If you’re headed to the show, don’t forget to stop by the Billy Goat on Madison first. We serve the best moonshine in Chicago!
We think Bruno did a great job hosting SNL (a show we’re a little familiar with). Here’s one of our favorite moments:
