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.
