If there's a Wisconsin team playing, there's a good chance it's on one of our TVs.
Packers Sundays, Badgers Saturdays, Bucks nights, and Brewers games get plenty of screen time here. Grab a seat, order something from the kitchen, and watch with people who care about the score.
Packers games fill the bar. Expect green and gold, and the sound up.
Badgers football, basketball, and hockey, especially on Saturdays.
Regular season nights and playoff runs on the big screens.
Brewers games on the TVs, plus bus trips when we put one together.
We follow Ripon College and Ripon High School teams. Football season means Red Hawks replays on Mondays, and Tigers games on the screens when we can stream them.

Red Hawks
During Red Hawks football season, we replay that weekend's game on Mondays at 5:00 PM while all-you-can-eat wings are on. We've also streamed Red Hawks women's basketball during the playoffs.
Tigers
When a stream is available, we put Tigers football on the TVs. Families, coaches, and fans are welcome to watch here.

Mentions of Ripon College and Ripon High School do not mean we have an official sponsorship or partnership unless we say so.
The patio is open for drinks, food, and bags when Wisconsin weather cooperates. Live music is out here on Saturdays.
During EAA AirVenture week, this is the place to be, plane watching arrivals flying overhead on their way into Oshkosh. Call ahead if you want to know whether the patio is open that day.

Pastimes sits in a brick building on Scott Street in downtown Ripon, just east of Watson Street, next to a city parking lot. The patio and lawn out east were not always open space. For decades, other buildings stood there: a livery barn, a car garage, a blacksmith shop, and later a sheet metal works.
Farm implements, a car dealer, a liquor store, and then Pastimes. The timeline goes back to the 1890s on this stretch of Scott Street, with research from the Ripon Historical Society.

Regulars at the bar. Families after a Red Hawks game. Friends in for a Packers Sunday. We're closed Tuesday and open the rest of the week.

Servers where very attentive and friendly. Food was good. I'd definitely eat there again. I want to try the Friday Fish Fry 👍
Great food, excellent service. Highly recommend.
New York Strip Saturdays? Sign me up. Baked potato? Yessir. Burgers looked good too. Underrated spot in the downtown.
The food was delicious and affordable. The service was friendly; also for a bar and grill it had a very calm relaxing atmosphere.
Best burgers around hands down. Awesome customer service too on a busy Sunday.
A nice Wisconsin bar. Good burger and great service.
