It's GameTime across from the Bradley Center

In the newly remodeled downtown bar GameTime, formerly known as Legend's, it's a good bet that when you step inside this joint, the game is certainly on ... literally, any game. GameTime has been transformed from an aging sports bar into an all-new sports bar, complete with new duds and a new attitude.

The 8,670-sq. ft. restaurant has a large, clean look with traditional wooden bars and a splash of modern, exposed piping on the black ceiling.

The restaurant sports two main areas, each with a large 6-by-8 foot projection screen surrounded by four 36-inch screens. And as if that isn't enough for your viewing pleasure, there are also 32-inch screen televisions hung from the ceiling and scattered among the dining tables.

The north side of the restaurant, formerly the Legend's night/dance club, has another raised bar and large seating area for overflow during busy times and event days at the Bradley Center.

"The design wasn't exactly the way we wanted it when we bought it," says Cathy Prestin, manager and wife of owner, David Prestin.

So, when it came time to doing some much needed renovations, the Prestins decided go ahead and make the space on the north end more functional by raising the bar and placing it at the east side of the restaurant.

According to Prestin, GameTime will show almost any professional football, hockey or basketball game airing on television. On days with multiple games of interest, the restaurant will be sectioned into "zones," each hosting a different game. And yes, even Bears fans are welcome.
