Billy Goat Tavern (The Original)

This guide to the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago follows William Sianis, a Greek immigrant who bought a struggling bar and adopted a stray goat named Murphy. It traces the October 1945 afternoon when Sianis walked Murphy into Wrigley Field for a World Series game, dressed to match his mascot, and what owner Philip Wrigley said before having them thrown out. The tavern later moved to lower Michigan Avenue, where a corner stool still bears columnist Mike Royko's name.
