END THE NHL LOCKOUT NOW!

The NHL lockout really has our goat! You may ask “who needs hockey?” Well, Billy Goat needs hockey! We’re not just losing games. We’re losing postgame cheezborgers!

While players and owners are busy arguing about their money, everyone loses and business is b-a-a-a-a-a-d! After a Blackhawks victory, the Billy Goat on Madison is the place to celebrate. Now we don’t make any money. Tables are empty. Employees take less orders and make less tips.

Hockey fans love cheezborgers. Billy goat loves hockey fans. Figure it out NHL! This is a slap shot in the face. When they play hockey, everyone wins – the city, fans and the Billy Goat.

Take some advice from a goat, NHL, and stop acting like a jackass!

 

Celebrate Beersgiving with Billy Goat!


It’s time to kick off the holiday season 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 8 locations. The traditional feast of Beersgiving is of course a cheezborger and cheeps!

Check out this classic blog post from the Beersgiving founding fathers: http://rvdchicago.blogspot.com/2009/12/beersgiving-not-just-another-made-up.html

Billy Goat on the Issues – The Environment

The United States Billy Goat Party has made cleaning up the environment a top priority. And, we’ve got some great ideas to make it finally happen!

Methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas, has been proven to contribute to global climate change. In the U.S., cattle emit about 5.5 million metric tons of methane per year from their rear-ends into our atmosphere!

How can we lower the amount of methane in our atmosphere? EAT MORE CHEEZBORGERS! Lets all do our part to help ensure our kids have a healthy, clean Earth to enjoy.

We also believe in sustainable solutions to environmental problems. Our secret weapon? Goats of course!! In fact, our ideas are already being put into action. O’Hare Airport was so inspired by the success of our location in Terminal 1, that they have embraced the goat as a sustainable solution to their lawn mowing problems.

So, eat more CHEEZBORGERS and keep more goats, and you’ll become a real steward of our environment!

Introducing “The Rudy Burger”

Ever wonder who holds the record for eating the most cheezborgers?

Meet Rudy! The record holder and the man (and stomach) behind this beast of a burger! Our new “The Rudy Burger”! 16 pattys (2.25lbs)-14 slices of cheese-2 kaiser rolls.

PLEASE DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!

 

The previous record holder ate 14 patties at Taste of Chicago in 2003. Our friend Rudy accomplished the feat at our newest location, Randhurt Village in Mt. Prospect. He even topped it off with some ice cream!

Ordering would have gone something like:
