Bump’s is closed through the 2026 calendar year, with plans to refresh and reopen —better than ever—in 2027!  While the restaurant will pause operations, we’re pleased to share that catering opportunities will still be offered!  Thank you to everyone who has dined with us since our opening in 2020. We’re grateful for your support, and we can’t wait to welcome you back in 2027!

Bump's Restaurant is named for Chalmers “Bump” Elliott, who was director of men's athletics at the University of Iowa from 1970-1991, an era when the Hawkeyes won 34 Big Ten and 11 NCAA championships. He has been described as the architect of Iowa Athletics, and his foundation of hard work, loyalty, and dedication continues to cement the success of Iowa Athletics. He lives on in Hawkeye Nation as a true legend.
