Whether you are heading to the Bulls game or to explore some of the cool exhibits down at Navy Pier, we’ve got you covered! This month, ‘hoop it up at Billy Goat on Madison before the game! ‘Slam dunk a few cheezborgers before you cheer the Bulls on to victory!
Navy Pier also has a full calendar of events during February!
The Chicago Children’s Museum is featuring an exhibit called Heart and Seoul: Growing Up in Korea. Children are able to explore life in Korean culture and see how they live. This is a great source of entertainment during the cold weather and can even be tied to the Winter Olympics!
While you’ll have to brave the elements for this one, it should prove to be well worth it. Beginning February 17th and running through April 15th, Prismatica in Polk Bros Park is set to be stunning!
This immersive installation, comprised of 25 pivoting prisms more than six feet tall, transforms Polk Bros Park in Navy Pier into a giant kaleidoscope. The prisms are made of panels laminated with a dichronic film that transmits and reflects every color in the visible spectrum, varying with the position of the light source and the observer. The prisms are mounted on bases containing projectors. As guests wander among and manipulate the prisms, they will enjoy an infinite interplay of lights and colorful reflections. As the prisms rotate, a variable-intensity soundtrack comprised of bell sounds will play.
Guests are invited to join us for the free public grand opening ceremony of Prismatica on February 16, 2018, at 5:30 p.m. in Polk Bros Park, to count down to the lighting of the installation. Hot chocolate will be available to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. Following the opening ceremony, the installation will be on display and open to public interaction every day during standard Navy Pier operating hours through April 15.
Don’t forget to stop by Billy Goat on Navy Pier! Join us in our recently remodeled space to warm up, unwind and relax after a fun day exploring our city!
The big game is this weekend! And, no matter who you are rooting for, make Billy Goat a part of your celebration.
If you can’t go to the Goat, bring the Goat to you. Billy Goat Burgers make a great game day meal! Pair your home-cooked cheezborger with our newly released IPA and Pilsner Beers. Find them both exclusively at Jewel-Osco.
Or, if you’re feeling like heading out, we’ve saved you a seat! Join us at Madison or Navy Pier and enjoy a beer while watching the game!
We just wanted to give you a quick update. Billy Goat Tavern on Michigan Avenue is still temporarily closed. Fortunately, we Chicagoans know how to fix things!
Due to the delicate nature of performing the work while preserving the historic Tavern`s look and décor we anticipate the work to be completed sometime in February. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Here is a list of other Billy Goat locations. We hope you will visit and get your Cheezborger and Beer needs
We’re stlil under construction. But pretty soon, we’ll be back building these.
Ordering at the Billy Goat may go something like this: “Cheezborger! Cheezborger! You want doublecheez?!?Who’s next!?! WHO’S NEXT!?!” If you take more than one second to answer: “Don’t look at the menu, look at ME! I order for you – DOUBLECHEEZ!” If you only feel like a single: “No. DOUBLECHEEZ!!!” If it’s the end of the week: “It’s Friday, doublecheez for everybody! It’s payday!Triplecheez for the big guy!” Want French fries with that? “No fries – CHEEPS!” Thirsty? “No Pepsi – COKE!” To drink: “Coke or Diet?!”
Such rantings by the Billy Goat staff have gone on for almost 40 years and originated when Billy Goat Sianis and another Greek immigrant by the name of Bill Charuchas would entertain patrons by yelling out: “Try the double cheese! It’s the best! No fries, cheeps!” In the 1978, Sam Sianis and Charuchas were immortalized by Saturday Night Live’s John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Loraine Newman. The sketch was originally written by Don Novello (of Father Guido Sarducci fame) when he was an advertising copywriter in Chicago. John Belushi and Bill Murray knew the Billy Goat from their Second City days, and the rest is history. As a result, the Billy Goat Tavern achieved national infamy. When in Chicago, Don Novello and Bill Murray still come by and visit Sam and the Billy Goat staff and have their “Doublecheezborger”!
