Speaking of empty glasses, none other than The Great Bambino, Babe Ruth, used to call The Stanhope House his speakeasy in the days of prohibition. He even left a baseball bat behind for us to remember those hazy nights gone by.

Today our two stages, The Roadhouse Stage and The Crossfire Lounge, offer a wide range of experiences – from the good ol’ blues to hip-hop, punk, reggae, rock, as well as comedy nights, open jams and everything in between.

“Going to the Stanhope House was like going home; your friends were there either playing or hanging, your musical influences were there either playing or hanging, and everyone was there for the love of the music,” added Marks, once a member of Cowtown. Then, in the late ‘90s, Lewis got involved with WNTI and got to know The Stanhope House’s then-owner Maureen Myers. He’d go almost every weekend to enjoy the great bands that played there. The hard opening will be held Sunday, April 18, in the beer garden. It will feature the Wig Party band, with special guest Tim Carbone of the band Railroad Earth, Skevin said.
But, we’ll keep finding creative ways to get the music to the people to help them smile just a little bit more,” Staats said. Will the redevelopment plan be halted and/or modified to save this legendary venue? All I can do is forge forward and continue to fight the fight to support the blues ecosystem.

The Stanhope House is widely considered the crown jewel of New Jersey blues clubs. Owner Jon Klein created a GoFundMe campaign in October that had raised more than $8,900 of its $10,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon. The Stanhope House is also accepting Venmo payments to the handle "SaveALegend," which will help keep the venue afloat.

There could be a few more added in November. But the in-house operating company, JMK Hospitality, that runs Stanhope is out of business. The acts that are playing now — free admission — are mostly to generate a little extra food and beverage money to help with the mortgage, unpaid for months. It’s a roadhouse-style musical museum whose memorabilia-adorned walls are flashbacks to the days when icons performed there. Thursday will mark the first live event with in-person patrons at the Stanhope House since it closed the outdoor area for the season in November. The building has not yet reopened because of COVID concerns, though management said it hopes to expand its operations indoors soon.
Will COVID-19 mean the end for a legendary NJ roadhouse?
Nestled in the heart of Stanhope, New Jersey, the Stanhope House stands as a testament to the rich history of blues music and the challenges faced by live music venues across the nation. As we navigate through times of uncertainty for these cultural hubs, it’s essential to shine a spotlight on the efforts being made to preserve places like the Stanhope House. We share the significance of this iconic venue and the article “Saving Our Venues” by the North Jersey Blues Society. The Stanhope House, the venerable Sussex County roadhouse turned blues club which dates back to 1794, has been attempting to stay afloat by serving food, drinks and live music in its outdoor beer garden.
You can leave bare beams exposed, and install tin ceiling tiles. All these things have been tried by savvy club owners — not to mention national chains like House of Blues. None of them capture the juke joint atmosphere that Stanhope has in spades. But some musicians are putting their own woes aside to help a legendary stage that’s on the verge of closing for good because of the COVID-19 shutdown.
Some legendary venues could be gone when the smoke clears. It’s a 1790s building that was once also a private home, stagecoach stop, general store, post office, tavern, rooming house, and hotel. There are acts booked, outdoors, until the end of the month.
This residence boasts a warm fireplace, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, spanning 1007 sq ft. The inviting open floorplan seamlessly combines kitchen, dining, and living areas. Features include tile floors, a fireplace, an interior stackable washer/dryer and a convenient kitchen breakfast bar. The original materials present limitless possibilities for a personalized touch. Enjoy community perks like a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, private parking, and a building elevator.
Karp was among the performers that Lewis interviewed on the radio. He went on to form the band Peter Karp and the Road Show and now plays internationally. Tickets for this and other upcoming musical events can be purchased online or at the door. It’s a melodic gem that suffered a near-death experience when the pandemic threatened to close it for good.
Performing artists have faced challenging times since March, with few if any shows to play due to the coronavirus pandemic. The renovated and expanded Beer Garden will open at 4 p.m. On Thursdays and Fridays and at 2 p.m. The popular Lobster Landing entree will be back on Sundays.
Old blues guys like Snooky Pryor and Homesick James who would save half their dinner to take with them the next day -— an old habit left over from their roadhouse days in the South, when you couldn't count on a next meal. When they stayed overnight in one of the upstairs rooms, they would sometimes leave their stash behind. "They would regularly find leftover sandwiches in the dresser drawer," Giliberti said. My band The VooDudes played Stanhope quite a bit in the 1990s.
