                  FORM S-1 REGISTRATION STATEMENT
                  SEC REG. NO.:  333-14117

Dear Mr. Owings:

      Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Hops Grill & Bar, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby requests that the Commission
withdraw the above-referenced Registration Statement. Certain of the Predecessor
Corporations (as defined in the Registration Statement) have recently been
acquired by an unrelated party, and such transaction renders it impractical for
the Registrant to proceed with the offering. Please be advised that no offers or
sales of the Registrant's securities were made pursuant to the above-referenced
Registration Statement or otherwise.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Application to
Withdraw as of March 18, 1997.


                                    HOPS GRILL & BAR, INC.


                                    By:  /s/ DAVID L. MASON
