Chicago Air Show 2015

It’s baaaaack! The annual Chicago Air & Water Show is back at Chicago’s lakefront this weekend. With a lineup featuring greats such as  the US Navy Blue Angels, the US Army Parachute Team Golden Knights, and new this year, the Breitling Jet Team. Check out Facebook or the website for the most up-to-date info on performances.

Billy Goat Tavern on Navy Pier is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat before, during and after the show.

Captain Billy Goat says it’s the best place to get a goat’s-eye view! See you there!

A New Chapter: Sam Sianis

Around the time Billy Sianis opened the Billy Goat Inn, miles away his nephew, Sam Sianis, was born in a little village in Greece. He would grow to become a strong, dedicated, loyal, and hardworking adult. At 19 years old, he would take those attributes to pursue a life in America working with his Uncle at the Tavern. When Billy dies in October 1970, Sam would take over and become one of Chicago’s finest and a legend in his own right. Raised on goat’s milk….it must be in his blood.
