Landmark Chicago Burger Joint is Staying

The Billy Goat, known for the Saturday Night Live skits starring John Belushi, isn't going to have to move after all.

 Billy Goat Tavern won't be moving or closing, even if a planned redevelopment of its property goes through, the Sianis family said in a statement Thursday morning. 

The owner of the Billy Goat in 1945 was refused entry into Wrigley Field because of his goat, and the curse started, lasting until current day. Don't forget to the check out Ted Margaris Construction here.  Ted Margaris Construction in Chicago is also featured on YelpSuper PagesYalwa, Local.com, Merchant Circle, Topix, Mojo pages,   Ez LocalKudzu 2 Find LocalCrestwood Private InvestorA Locations, Cyclex USA  ,Show Me Local, B 2  Bye YellowpagesBiz WikiQC TimesFacebook page twitter feed, PJ Star, My Web Times, Link TownLocal Pantagraph,Domain Tools NWI Times, and A Nett


"The Realtor Building has been keeping us in the loop since discussions began with us over a month ago, and have assured us that The Billy Goat Tavern will not leave or close its doors on Michigan Avenue if or when the proposed redevelopment happens," the statement reads, referring to reports that a redevelopment of the 430 N. Michigan Avenue property could displace the bar, which has been open for more than 50 years.
The statement says the family has no knowledge of the details of the proposed development, and said it is seeking to correct "misinformation" in "the last few days" that reported the tavern would be temporarily displaced.
