Description: Billy Goat Tavern website states:The Billy Goat Tavern is considered a Chicago Tourist Landmark and is visited by Chicagoans, world travelers, politicians, athletes and all sorts of celebrities. The Goat has been frequented by Pres. George Bush Sr., President George W. Bush (while governor), President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Dennis Hastert, Mayor Daley (past and present), and many more politicians. A wide range of celebrities have also visited, like: Jay Leno (both times he visited Chicago, he did skits from the Billy Goat), Bill Murray, Don Novello, Loraine Newman, John Belushi, Billy Zane, Jack Black, John Stewart, Harrison Ford, Neve Campbell, John Cusak, Jewel, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kathy Bates, Charleton Heston, Frank Sinatra, and many more.
So, the next time you're in Chicago, stop by for a "Cheezborger" but, you'll order a "Doublecheezborger" and rub elbows with the "REAL CHICAGO."

Overview:

The original Billy Goat location, the subterranean downtown Chicago watering hole, makes a great burger to soak up the booze you'll be drinking. It's one of the best places to end up for a quick burger and a nite cap. The buns are large at the Goat so I usually order a triple or a 'Sosa', a burger with 4 patties and 3 slices of cheese. Grab a spot a the very long bar and strike up a crazy conversation with your neighbor. These types of burger joints are becoming extinct.
