Hopkins Icehouse isn’t just the best bar and grill in downtown Texarkana, TX— it’s an institution. In eras past, an ice house was a building used for storing ice. The perfect place to keep beer, right? Men began storing their beer in the ice houses and would meet up after work for a cold one. With electricity came refrigerators, but men were so accustomed to hanging out in ice houses that they started building modern-day structures where they could congregate for handmade food and great service.

Today, George Dodson and David Jones carry on the ice house tradition at Hopkins Icehouse. The bar and grill serves everything from appetizers and salads to sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers, and Nathan’s hot dogs. Hopkins Icehouse also offers brunch every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Come down to the ice house to watch the next big game and share a bunch of appetizers with friends and family. For the adventurous eater, Hopkins Icehouse has stuffed jalapenos, filled with their own special stuffing and wrapped in bacon. For the more refined palate, the bar and grill offers a misto tray, an arrangement of goat cheese, smoked Gouda, and Brie; strawberries, grapes, and apples; roasted walnuts; and honey served with flat bread and balsamic vinaigrette.

The restaurant also has an eclectic selection of sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, and entrees. With such a diverse menu, there’s something for everyone at Hopkins Icehouse!
