“It was tough on Billy at first. That first year he must have gone through 25 bartenders. All of them were stealing. That’s why he used to sit in a high chair right by the stairs with that kid’s hammer that squeaked and that he used to bang on anybody he saw staring at the girls walking down the stairs and say, ‘don’t pay attention to that!’ What he was really doing was watching the bartenders and cash register.”

In 2001, Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos came to visit Billy Goat Tavern. He even got to work behind our world-famous flat top grill.
“He can come again tomorrow at lunch if the internet thing doesn’t work out,” said Sam Sianis.
