Eat, Drink, & Repeat, something you can do until 2am (full menu served!) at this Dinkytown Gem.

The Downtime Bar & Grill is an upscale version of the other offerings in the area. The interior is laid with slate floors, inviting lighting, a granite, fully-stocked bar, and a food menu that brings "urban chic" to a recognizable list of pizzas, pastas, salads, and burgers ($6-11). Downtime goes with a theme that should appeal to students: quality service, excellent food, and hip decor; all at a low price.

The staff is overly friendly, recommending beers/wines to compliment your food and choosing to play whatever music the crowd wants, from Hip Hop to classic rock. FREE WiFi also makes this a great place to meet for study groups or business lunches.

THRIFTY TIP: $5.50 Soup & Sandwich ALL DAY! Validated parking on 15th & University Lot

Pretty decent food and deals. Every rail I've had here has been *supremely* weak, so I've been sticking to the taps lately. Fun on the earlier side of things before the blaring music and frat scene take over. pretty nice place overall.

If you don't like good music, please stay away

A little cramped, other than that it's fabulous. You can't beat the deals and the food is delish.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Go see "the feelin'", he's good shit!

Great interior, excellent service, and a very diverse range of customers. The music isn't half bad either.
