Bringing your family out to the United Center to see Disney on Ice? Don’t go on an empty stomach! Stop by Billy Goat on Madison first!
September 11 – 15, 2013
We think it’s about time that Disney made a movie with a goat as the main character. We know firsthand that goats are lovable characters (too bad the Cubs think they stink). In fact, out goat has already made it’s movie debut: https://www.billygoattavern.com/blog/2013/05/21/an-indie-movie-star/
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:
What a season! Back in November we were telling the NHL that the lockout was a slap-shot in the face. For 119 days, we didn’t even know if we were going to have a season, and now we have THE CUP! We’d say it was worth the wait.
We knew it was going to be a special season since the beginning. Their 24-0 start frequently sent Sam on GOAL PATROL.
The playoffs brought many pregame cheezborgers and post-game celebrations. We bid farewell to the Red Wings in an amazing series. We like to think our Game 7 Octopus grilling brought the Hawks a little luck.
There was no better place to celebrate an original 6 Stanley Cup Finals than at The GOAT – the original Blackhawks bar. We’ve been serving fans since 1934. It was the ideal place to watch the Hawks leave the Bruins in Ruins.

Congratulations Blackhawks on an incredible 2013 season! Next time let’s see if we can win one wearing the home red jerseys!
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:

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.
