Billy Goat Tavern

Although it’s most synonymous with Cubs lore, this iconic burger joint has an outpost near the United Center, too. Order a single, double or triple patty “Cheezborger” (made popular in an SNL skit) on a kaiser roll bun and finish it with whatever extras you like at the toppings station. There’s a fully stocked bar for your pregaming needs and the restaurant extends its hours on event nights so you can stop in for a bite on your way home.
