Thanks for the tag and for choosing Wendella, ✨
Did you know every Wendella vessel has a full bar onboard? 🍹 Sip craft beer, wine or a refreshing cocktail (Paloma, anyone?) while cruising past the Chicago River and skyline views. Summer in the city really doesn’t get better than this. ☀️

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. 🤍

And that is not all. Meet the NEW Chicago River TrashTrap Project. Installed in the Main Stem of the Chicago River, this floating system captures surface litter while bringing awareness to cleaner waterways and responsible stewardship.
