Toto - we're not in Kansas anymore; our dream really has come true ... we're in TEXAS!

Once upon a time Jim lived in Kansas City, Missouri and Pam lived in Monticello, Iowa. Eventually, they both made Houston their home. The devoted couple originally met in March 1985 at a Fowler Brothers' gig at TV Rovers Pub (soon to be renamed The Hops House). Fifteen years later they bought The Hops House and renamed it JP Hops House (J is for Jim and P is for Pam). So, now they are doing exactly what they set out to do - owning a pub with a great selection of beer, the best musical acts in the city and the greatest reward of all - the best customers and friends anyone could ever ask for.

"We take implicit pride and joy in our business, and we want to share this with all of you."

- Pam & Jim

The Hops House has been around since 1980, and today is recognized as a comfortable, "good feeling" pub. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, catering to all your needs: beer for your taste, music for your ears, friendly faces and smiles for your sight, and the smell of freshly popped popcorn (it's a free buffet, remember). You can even partake in a friendly game of darts, should you feel the need for a bit of light-hearted competition.

A special feature at JP Hops House is the spacious 2000 square foot outdoor deck where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the evening breeze with your friends and favorite beer. There's even a great song written by Bob Yoh about "Jim's Big Deck". With all the necessities of life near at hand, the deck is the perfect location for your next private party; and Pam (remember her theme party obsession) can help you with planning and catering arrangements.
