We’re very happy to have been included in Rick Kogan’s list of the 10 most historic taverns in Chicago.
“I like taverns with some history, whether that comes in photos on the walls or the echo of past customers’ conversations — places with ghosts, if you will.”

After a tough day at work, you can’t beat a hot burger, a cold beer, and a great bartender.
Folks have been stopping here after work even when there wasn’t any.
Billy Goat. Chicago’s after-work tavern since 1934.
Aug 4, 2015 | Billy Goat Curse, Michigan Avenue, 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.
