"If you went to a Big 10 school and like to wear puffy vests in the fall, then you probably don’t need us to tell you Benchmark is a great place to catch a game. Combine a retractable roof with good bar food, and you can eat and drink at this Old Town bar all day without feeling trapped inside. Make sure a side of tots is involved and order a cookie skillet for dessert." - sam faye, john ringor
"If you went to a Big 10 school and your fall wardrobe mainly consists of puffy vests, then you probably already know that Benchmark is a great place to catch a game. The large two-floor space in Old Town is frequently busy, and has plenty of screens and above-average food. And, since it has a retractable roof, you can eat and drink at this bar all day without feeling trapped inside. The burger or spicy crispy chicken sandwich are always solid choices, but make sure to always to order a side of tots, and throw a cookie skillet into the mix, too." - John Ringor

Combine a retractable roof with good bar food and you can sit here eating and drinking all day. Make sure you get a skillet cookie." - adrian kane
