When you visit The Billy Goat Tavern’s subterranean Michigan Ave. location make sure to check out the Wall of Fame – our tribute to the giants of Chicago’s Media. Since we moved to our current location in 1964, the Billy Goat has been a favorite hang out of great Chicago reports like Mike Royko, Dave Condon, Irv Kupcinet, and many more. Today, the Billy Goat is still a frequent hangout for writers and a living museum of Chicago journalism. When visiting the Billy Goat, you’re likely to hear some lively conversation about everything from world events to neighborhood stories. We’re now bringing the Wall of Fame online for everyone to see, share and learn: https://www.billygoattavern.com/legend/wall-of-fame/

“Can I have fries with that?”
“No fries, cheeps! No Pepsi. Coke! Cheezborger!”
In 1964, the “Original” Billy Goat Tavern moved to its current location on 430 N. Michigan ave. When Billy Sianis put the menu together, mysteriously French Fries, a popular burger compliment, was left off. It was a simple omission that made us famous!
Why no fries, cheeps!? With only 100 square feet of kitchen space, who had room for a deep fryer. Where would the goat sleep? No Fryer, no Fries, Cheeps!
