CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS TRAINING CAMP FESTIVAL

A new season is almost here for our World Champion Chicago Blackhawks. On September 16 they are hosting a fun family event by inviting fans to watch practice and a scrimmage.

They are giving away free Jonathan Toews Bobbleheads to the 1st 10,000 fans!

Remember last year at this time we were wondering if there was even going to be a season!!

Happy Birthday Bill!

Happy Birthday President #42! Today is President Clinton’s 67th Birthday. All the best from your friends at Billy Goat Tavern!

Remembering Mike Royko

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 16 years. On April 29th 1997, the world lost a great writer and we at Billy Goat Tavern lost a great friend in Mike Royko.

Royko helped make Billy Goat into a legendary reporter hangout. Today, journalism students from across the country make the trip under Michigan Avenue to enjoy a cheezborger surrounded by Royko’s articles. It’s an amazing experience.

One of Mike Royko’s favorite things was playing 16″ softball. We sponsored his team. Check out the video above to catch a glimpse of the “real” Royko enjoying some time at The Goat.
