When it was built in 1930, The Merchandise Mart was the largest building in the world. It wasn’t long before Billy Goat Tavern opened on Madison in 1934. It’s fitting for two Chicago legends to team up and feed hungry shoppers delicious Cheezborgers.
Nearly 10 million people visit the Merchandise Mart each year. Next time you’re there be sure to visit Billy Goat for a Cheezborger and beer!
On July 13, Bruno Mars brings his Moon Shine Jungle Tour to Chicago! If you’re headed to the show, don’t forget to stop by the Billy Goat on Madison first. We serve the best moonshine in Chicago!
We think Bruno did a great job hosting SNL (a show we’re a little familiar with). Here’s one of our favorite moments:
If you want a real “Taste of Chicago”, stop by THE GOAT! You already know the menu…Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger. No Fries. Cheeps. No Pepsi. Coke.
The Taste runs from Wednesday July 10th – Sunday July 14. We will be located near the corner of Jackson and Columbus.
There’s a great list of entertainment at the Petrillo Music Shell this year including FUN, Estelle, Robin Thicke, and Robert Plant!

So, take a real bite out of Chicago with Billy Goat! You never know who will stop by our booth!
What a season! Back in November we were telling the NHL that the lockout was a slap-shot in the face. For 119 days, we didn’t even know if we were going to have a season, and now we have THE CUP! We’d say it was worth the wait.
We knew it was going to be a special season since the beginning. Their 24-0 start frequently sent Sam on GOAL PATROL.
The playoffs brought many pregame cheezborgers and post-game celebrations. We bid farewell to the Red Wings in an amazing series. We like to think our Game 7 Octopus grilling brought the Hawks a little luck.
There was no better place to celebrate an original 6 Stanley Cup Finals than at The GOAT – the original Blackhawks bar. We’ve been serving fans since 1934. It was the ideal place to watch the Hawks leave the Bruins in Ruins.

Congratulations Blackhawks on an incredible 2013 season! Next time let’s see if we can win one wearing the home red jerseys!
Billy Goat Tavern on Madison is your place for watching the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals! After all, an original six Cup deserves an original bar!
Pre-game at the Billy Goat with a Horny Goat!
Send Sam on Goal Patrol!
Around here we take “You old goat” as a compliment.
