Billy Goat Inn. The Original Chicago Blackhawks Bar Since 1934.

We’ve been serving Blackhawks fans since the indian was just a papoose.

Many people think that our subterranean Michigan Ave. location is the original Billy Goat. Not so. Madison Avenue is where all the fun really began.

Founded in 1934, the original Billy Goat Tavern was located on Madison directly across the street from the old Chicago Stadium. it wasn’t until 1964 that Billy Goat moved to Michigan Ave. and the original location eventually became a parking lot. The United Center currently resides on the property once own by Billy Goat.

Here’s the Billy Goat Inn in 1934:

Game 7 Grilled Octopus Tail Gait Party

Attention Hawks Nation – We are hosting a very special event before tonight’s game 7! Join us for a GRILLED OCTOPUS Tailgate Party – tonight between 4:30 and 6:30.

We plan on packing the United Center with Hawks fans stuffed full of octopus. And, if one winds up twirling on the ice tonight, we’ll make sure the only way it leaves Chicago is grilled.

All Grilled Octopus sales go to The Butkus Foundation..www.butkusfoundation.org
