Sam Sianis was more than the face of Billy Goat Tavern. He was part of the soul of Chicago hospitality. We always admired the way he carried such an iconic legacy with humor, heart, and authenticity. The city won’t be the same without him.
Sending love to the Sianis family and the entire team. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, and everything you gave to this city, Sam. 🤍
