Member Spotlight: Reverend Jim's Dam Pub

Reverend Jim’s Dam Pub is more than our Visitor Center’s neighbor!   It’s a local hub and stomping ground with the best burgers in the Highland Lakes.  Don’t let the biker bar persona stop you!  It’s a warm and welcoming place for all with beer, wine, and a full menu of amazing food and the best vibes for locals and tourists alike.​

Reverend Jim’s Dam Pub was started by Bob, Lou, Missy and Misty in 2011.  Bob and Lou had the skill set to transform the place into the Reverend Jim’s we all know and love but it was four months of hard work, completely remastering and rebuilding the interior and adding to the existing back deck.  They also created an outside seating and venue area, perfect for Saturday live music!   Bringing in local, friendly staff was the next step and with an incredible overlook of Buchanan Dam, they were set to open their doors and quickly became an anchor and a hub for the local community.​

​Reverend Jim’s is a local legend for more than ice cold brews and friendly vibes.  They give back to the community constantly, hosting fundraisers and community events that bring the community together and provide impact.  Last fall, a local was facing overwhelming medical issues and rising medical bills.  Reverend Jim’s answered their need by throwing a fish fry and BBQ fundraiser that raised over $30,000.  
Every year in May, Revered Jim’s hosts their Annual BBQ fundraiser benefiting organizations like Wounded Warriors, Paralyzed Veteran’s of America, and this year’s recipient, Texans for Disabled Veterans.​

​This year, Reverend Jim’s Dam Pub will celebrate their thirteenth year of giving back!   They need YOU to sign up and bring your best BBQ, pinto beans, and cobbler in for judging!  Can’t cook or bake?  No problem!  Show up for the judging and indulge in the best eating in the Highland Lakes as our locals duke it out to see who wins!.  Stay for the raffle and enjoy live music with The River Rats from 3 to 7 pm!   You can buy your raffle tickets right now at Reverend Jim’s for your chance to win and to support an amazing non-profit.  The Texans for Disabled Veterans advocates, assists with VA benefit claims, provide volunteer outreach programs, and offer resources to help with care, mental health support, and transitions from military to civilian life.  This incredible organization works tirelessly to ensure veterans receive their earned benefits and provide information on healthcare and support services.​
