October 16, 2024

Events, Madison, United Center

On October 23, 2024 Chicago welcomes Bon Jovi to the United Center. We hear he’s known all over the world too. According to the internet he’s sold over 130 million albums - almost as many cheezborgers as we’ve served Chicago.

We also heard that Bon Jovi’s famous song “Lay Your Hands on Me” was inspired by a Billy Goat Cheezborger!

Billy Goat Curse

That’s right, Cubs fans. It’s been 68 years since Billy Goat Sianis said the Cubs wouldn’t win the World Series again. Can you believe the goat still hasn’t seen a game?

In fact, the last time the Cubs won the World Series was 1908. Their Opening Day pitcher’s name was Orval Overall, who went on to win MVP: “Most Vicious Parents”.

A Chicago Tavern a Goat, a Curse, and the American Dream.

October 3, 2024

Cheezborger

Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.

The stories that have made Billy Goat Tavern world-famous are the stuff of legend. Our good friend Rick Kogan has compiled the most complete history of Billy Goat Tavern in his book - A Chicago Tavern a Goat, a Curse, and the American Dream. It’s packed with tales that include:

  • The antics of “Chicago’s Greatest Inn Keeper” – William Sianis
  • The real story of The Billy Goat Curse
  • Billy’s Nephew Sam Sianis
  • The SNL skit that immortalized Sam and his tavern
  • Mike Royko and the journalists who are regulars
