Oct 20, 2016 | Billy Goat Curse, Cheezborger, Michigan Avenue
The Cubs started the 1994 season horribly, losing twelve home games in a row. Their worst home start in history. In an effort to end this streak, Sam Sianis and his goat went to Wrigley Field only to be denied entrance yet again. Amidst the chant of “Let the Goat in!” amongst the Wrigley crowd, Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks helped by escorting Sam and his goat into Wrigley. The Cubs won the game 5-2, ending their worst home start ever. A lesson learned?
Will this be the year the Curse is broken? We hope so, but the goat has still not seen his game.

Watch the Cubs play the Dodgers in the NLCS at any of our locations: www.billygoattavern.com/locations/ The Cubs never sent us an invitation, so we’ll be there too. You may even meet Murphy the Billy Goat. You can try to get him to lift the Curse, but he’s very stubborn.
BUTT IN ANYTIME!

Congratulations Chicago Cubs on winning an exciting NLDS. We can’t wait to see what happens in the next series! Remember, the Curse is real and the goat is good luck. He can help with your playoff push!

Thank you to everyone who came to our Reverse The Curse party! We hope the spirits heard us and lift the hex. Murphy the Billy Goat now wears the original trokania. He’s patiently waiting for an invitation from the Chicago Cubs.

In Greece the strongest goat of the herd wears a bell that is called a trokania. We have the original trokania that Billy had. This Thursday at Billy Goat on Michigan Ave from 5:30 – 8:30. we will have a ceremony to present the trokania to this new goat and a little ceremony to reverse the curse. And if the Cubs ask us to go to the stadium we will, with the goat wearing the trokania!
