“Cheezborger, cheezborger!” Visit the famous Chicago location that inspired the John Belushi SNL skit, Billy Goat Tavern! The tavern opened in 1934 under the owner William “Goat” Sianis, who later became “Billy Goat” after a goat jumped off a nearby truck and wandered into the tavern, becoming Sainis’ pet and inspiration for the Billy Goat’s namesake. The bar is known for its cheezborger creations, which skip the lettuces and tomatoes and opt for thin 100% beef patties made for stacking. Only a 7 minute walk from AMLI River North or an 8 minute walk from Grand Plaza.
