Description
This below ground-level tavern was made famous from the classic Saturday Night Live skit featuring John Belushi yelling "cheezeborger! cheezeborger! cheezeborger! No fries...cheeps! No Pepsi...Coke!" It has been a Chicago institution since 1934, when Greek immigrant William Sianis bought the Lincoln Tavern. The story behind the tavern's name goes like this: William Sianis became known as "billy goat" when a goat came wandering into the tavern after falling off a passing truck. After that incident, Sainis decided to adopt the animal, shave a goatee on his face, and change the name of his restaurant to the "Billy Goat Tavern".
