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.

Today marks 71 years since Murphy the Billy Goat was denied access to the Cubs game. The Curse of the Billy Goat grows stronger with every year that goes by. Prior to the curse, the Cubs had 51 winning seasons, won the pennant 16 times and won 2 World Series. Since the Curse, the Cubs have had only 18 winning seasons and have not won a World Series or pennant. The Curse goes on until the goat gets in! thebillygoattavern.com/legend/curse/

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!

The Curse is real.

In 1969, a year before he passed away, “Billy Goat” Sianis finally felt satisfied and claimed the curse is lifted, but the goat still was bitter. The Cubs began the season winning and coasted throughout the season into mid-August with a commanding first place lead. By the end of the season a surging “Miracle” Mets overtook the struggling “Cursed” Cubs to claim first place and knock the Cubs out of contention.

After a tough day at work, you can’t beat a hot burger, a cold beer, and a great bartender.

Billy Goat. Chicago’s after-work tavern since 1934.

70 Years. 7 Months. 7 Days. The Curse goes on until the goat gets in! Let’s make this Friday the 13th the Cubs’ lucky day and finally let the goat in! Remember, the Curse is REAL. The goat brings GOOD luck. Let the goat in and kiss the curse goodbye!

April 29, 1983. A date that will live in f***ing infamy.

Will this be the year, Cubs fans? Another Spring Training is here and the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is in its 70th year!

Remember last year that Kris Bryant started the year down on the farm with a goat? He went on to win Rookie of the Year.

Remember how hot the Cubs were heading into the playoffs, only to be eliminated by a guy named “Murphy”?

How much more proof do you need that the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is REAL!!!
