With Hullabaloo Hall now covered, I'm going to try to do a complete "walk" down University Drive, excluding the things already covered. What would be 201 University was a gas station (Magnolia brand) demolished when the underpass was originally built, 203 University was Deluxe Diner most of my life and Chimy's Cerveceria for the better part of the 2010s, and now we get to 205-207 University, which is a bit of a misnomer since the 205 University address never seems to have been used officially (though that is what it is according to Brazos CAD).
In previous versions of this post, I had said that this building was built in the 1960s; actually, it was built in the 1980s as an extension of 209 University, which explains why I couldn't find much of it prior to the late 1980s. In July 1990, the first tenant, New York Bagel Shop opened. New York Bagels was a chain out of Oklahoma1 and opened other stores in Texas as well. New York Bagels used the 207 University address, while the followup operation, M&M Grill, used the 209A address when it opened later that year. M&M Grill was a Mediterranean restaurant which operated until 1998, then DoubleDave's PizzaWorks moved in around 1999, relocating from a few spaces down. In 2005 it closed and relocated to Texas Avenue Crossing. In February 2006 it reopened as Schotzi's, with "SkyyBar" (a bar-within-a-bar, later simply just Sky Bar) located on the upper level (at the time, the patio above 209 University had not yet been built). A few years later Schotzi's adopted the 207 University address (which had not been used since New York Bagel). Sometime around 2013 or 2014, Skyybar simply became Sky Bar but in 2015 Schotzi's folded entirely and was replaced by 4.0 & Go, formerly located at Park Place Plaza.
4.0 & Go went away in late 2019. Presumably, the high rent drove them off, despite a workable parking plan. When I originally wrote this article, 4.0 & Go was technically active but was listed on their website as being "in transit". It appears to have disappeared for good during COVID-19. By late 2021 it had reopened as "Good Bull Icehouse" (no relation to the now-defunct Good Bull BBQ).
1. Despite hot growth, the chain filed for Chapter 11 in 2000. There does not seem to be any restaurants under that name anymore.
UPDATE 07-29-2025: Rewrote article to refine a few things, fixed date.
