Global superstar, Grammy Award®-winner and multi-platinum selling artist, Rihanna, is bringing her THE ANTI WORLD TOUR to Chicago with special guest Travis Scott!

You know what goes great with Grammy Award®-winning Artists? Some good grub, of course!  We’ll see you at Billy Goat Tavern on Madison after the show.

Happy Birthday to Billy Goat under Michigan Avenue!

For 52 years, Chicago’s favorite haunt hasn’t been on Michigan Avenue, it’s been under it!

On March 4th, 1964 Billy Goat Sianis moved his tavern to the current subterranean Michigan Avenue location. The original Billy Goat was located on Madison Street, across from the Chicago Stadium. Thanks to the large following of newspaper men who were regulars at the Billy Goat, it was only natural that the new location be situated between the Tribune and Sun-Times buildings.

Spring is in the air, so are baseballs.

Will this be the year, Cubs fans? Another Spring Training is here and the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is in its 70th year!

Remember last year that Kris Bryant started the year down on the farm with a goat? He went on to win Rookie of the Year.

Remember how hot the Cubs were heading into the playoffs, only to be eliminated by a guy named “Murphy”?

How much more proof do you need that the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is REAL!!!

St. Patrick’s Day Events in Chicago 2016

Lucky for you, Chicago is THE place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. And if your luck couldn’t get any better, there are multiple Billy Goat Taverns to visit when your hunger hits.

Can’t miss events on Saturday, March 12!

DYEING OF THE CHICAGO RIVER

It wouldn’t be St. Pat’s Day in Chicago without the annual dyeing of the Chicago River. Best views can be seen along the Michigan Avenue bridge, but be sure to arrive early to claim a good spot! Once the river transforms into Chicago’s very own Emerald Isle, the Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade will commence.

THE CHICAGO ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

After the Chicago River is dyed green, the sound of bagpipes, Irish dancers and drum corps will fill the air in Chicago’s annual Irish parade along Columbus Drive.
NAVY SHORELINE SIGHTSEEING ST. PATRICK’S DAY CRUISE

Enjoy an Irish buffet filled with corned beef and cabbage, indulge in a full service cash bar, and tap your toes to live Irish music – all while cruising along the gloriously green Chicago River! Highly popular, completely festive, and a great way to celebrate St. Pat’s Day.

We’ll be serving green beer and great borgers. Our Michigan Ave. location is just blocks from the Chicago River, and don’t forget to stop by our Navy Pier location after the Sightseeing Cruise. Slainte!
