About Bump's Restaurant
Bump’s Restaurant is located at 1380 Melrose Avenue in Iowa City. It is just inside the front entrance of the Nagle Family Clubhouse at Finkbine Golf Course. The restaurant is named for Chalmers “Bump” Elliott, who was director of athletics at the University of Iowa from 1970-91, an era when the Hawkeyes won 34 Big Ten and 11 NCAA championships. Elliott passed away Dec. 7, 2019. Bump’s Restaurant incorporates a cyclical menu as seasons change!
