Before the Turkey, Head to the Goat. Celebrate Beersgiving at Billy Goat!

Great food. Cold beer. No relatives. Join us for the Beersgiving tradition!

It’s time to kick off Thanksgiving with Beersgiving! The evening before Thanksgiving is traditionally a time to enjoy a beer (or several) with friends. Celebrate it at the bar where it all began – the Billy Goat Tavern.

The tradition was founded by customers at the Billy Goat Tavern on Washington and Franklin. Unfortunately that location is closed, but the celebration continues at our other 9 locations. The traditional feast of Beersgiving is of course a cheezborger and cheeps!

Thanks for Beersgiving!

Congratulations MVP Kris Bryant!

Congratulations Kris Bryant on winning the MVP Award!!

This is even more proof that the goat is good luck! In 2015, Kris embraced the goat in the minors resulting in his rookie of the year award.

In 2016 he again embraced the goat and won the MVP Award!

Oh and by the way…which player made the final out to finally end the curse? Kris Bryant!

Billy “Ghost” Sianis

The Chicago Cubs clinched their first NL Pennant in 71 years on October 22, the anniversary of Billy “Goat” Sianis’ death. We know he was there with his pet goat Murphy cheering on his favorite team.

“Let the Goat in!” – 1994

The Cubs started the 1994 season horribly, losing twelve home games in a row. Their worst home start in history. In an effort to end this streak, Sam Sianis and his goat went to Wrigley Field only to be denied entrance yet again. Amidst the chant of “Let the Goat in!” amongst the Wrigley crowd, Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks helped by escorting Sam and his goat into Wrigley. The Cubs won the game 5-2, ending their worst home start ever. A lesson learned?

Will this be the year the Curse is broken? We hope so, but the goat has still not seen his game.
