HAPPY NEW YEAR Billy Goat Fans! We hope you’ve had a great 2012 and wish you good luck in 2013!

If you are celebrating on Navy Pier, join us for the fireworks show! There’s two shows - one for families at 7 PM and another at midnight.

We’d also like to wish Don Novello a Happy Birthday! For those of you who don’t know Don, he wrote the Olympia Cafe skit which made Saturday Night Live famous! http://thebillygoattavern.com/legend/snl/ His birthday is on New Year’s Day - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON!

In 2009, December 26 was declared Billy Goat Tavern Day by Governor Pat Quinn to commemorate our 75th Anniversary. When you’re on Michigan Avenue returning your Christmas presents, stop in for a Cheezborger and celebrate with us!!

Dear Santa,

Here’s a few things we know our Billy Goat fans would most like for Christmas:

1) An end to the NHL lockout -NOW!

2) A Cubs decision to finally LET THE GOAT IN!

3) A healthy Derrick Rose comeback

4) Bowl wins for NIU and ND

5) A Barack Obama visit to the Goat

6) A Bears playoff berth

7) A Packers playoff loss

Chicago’s Best Breakfast isn’t downtown. It’s under it.

Believe it or not, the Billy Goat serves more than Cheezborgers, cheeps and Coke. We also serve Chicago’s best breakfast!

Eggs. Meat. Potatoes. Breakfast the way nature intended.

Come hungry! Our menu is filled with the best breakfast bargains in town. Prices may vary by location.

Voted “Chicago’s Best Breakfast” by real, live voters.

“I voted it Chicago’s Best Breakfast. Twice.” -Frank

It’s the perfect way to start your day. Or in some cases, end your night.

Want the perfect gift for a new parent this holiday season? They’ll love our new “Kids” line. Even if they’re too young to say “Cheezborger”, they can still wear it!

The back reads “No Pepsi. Milk!”

Everyone knows the holiday season can be exhausting between decorating, shopping, sending cards and all the other traditions. We suggest you refresh yourself with a cheezborger and beer at the Billy Goat! Whether you’re braving the crowds on the Magnificent Mile, or strolling around Randhurst Village, make Billy Goat Tavern your oasis from your holiday to-do list!

The holiday season isn’t complete with out taking the family to Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier. And, a trip to Winter WonderFest is even better when you stop by the Billy Goat on Navy Pier for a Cheezborger and a beer for the parents.
