Billy Goat Tavern

The World Famous Billy Goat Tavern, a Chicago legend since 1934

You're Chicago sports fans.
You should be used to bitter by now.

If you can handle decades of heartache and disappointment, surely you can handle "The Chicago Handshake." C'mon--give it a shot!

[Billy Goat Tavern @Cheezborger]

You can't beat a cheezborger in the sunshine. Time to enjoy the lake view, the warm sun, and a delicious cheezborger--or two--at Navy Pier!

@Chicago_History We wonder…

The Cubs have not won a game since May 15th, the day that Billy Goat Tavern owner Sam Sianis passed away. Is the curse back?

@Cheezborger A good week to re-read the Bible. The American Dream of our grandparents brought to life. Rest in peace, Sam.

Two new burger books by George Motz and Maggie Hennessy are great. But asked long ago why we are a country that is nuts for burgers, the late Sam Sianis of the Billy Goat put it, with brilliant simplicity, “People like them because they’re good.” https://t.co/haLbSjR1f0

Remembering Sam - The man who broke the Curse of the Billy Goat on the Chicago Cubs

REMEMBERING SAM: Sam and Mike Royko developed a legendary friendship. Now they're reunited.

“I miss Mike very much,” Sam says in May 2000. “I see Mike three, four times. Matter of fact, I see him three days ago. Mike come by here. It was when he was dead. I ask him if he remembers when I said, ‘Mike, if anything ever happen to me, I want you to keep the Billy Goat name alive.’ And he nods his head and I tell him, ‘Now that you are gone I am going to keep your name alive. I’m going to make sure your name will live forever.’”

Sam Sianis lived the American dream & showed us all how to be great Americans. Chicago has been so lucky to have Sam running the Billygoat Tavern here since he took it over from his uncle in the '60s.

My condolences to his family. May he rest in God's peace & eternal glory. 🕊️

To honor Sam Sianis, the post-game spread for both the @Cubs and @WhiteSox tonight will be cheezborgers and chips.

Sam Sianis was a Chicago institution and a genuinely good person. The Billy Goat Tavern will live on but won’t be the same without him. RIP.
