PumpJack Pub

good bar

Had a great time at the bar. Bar staff are friendly and good place to meet other people

party is on!

Finally ended up (very drunk) there after bar hoping on Davies Street. Great party music, friendly customers, some hot boys and cool bar staff.

bartender will screw your money

Went to Vancouver for 2014 gay pride , I found this bar is quite interesting, people are friendly, so I was hanging out there for 3 days. The every last day I was there, I gave bartender $20 CND for one beer, he gave me $4.5 back, then left right way, I looked at the change, I knew that he may be made a mistake, as I knew I have got ride all the changes and 10 dollar bill at lunch, only had 3 $20 CND bills in my pocket. So when he came back I ask him how much is the beer, he told me $5.5, at same time, he open the register and took $10 CND out right way, I said to him that I don’t have 10 Dollar CND in my pocket. He said to me that I gave him $10CND, if he does run the register, it will show that I gave him $10CND. He sound like that I’m trying to get a free drink. I stood there and really felt that I should let someone run the register. I went to ask another bartender, wondering who is the manager on duty and I would like to speak to the manager, this way, I won’t have any argument with that bartender. He came over and won’t let me talk to his co-worker, he told me that he has run the register, I only gave him $10 CND, now he wants me to leave. I told him that I would like speak to the manager and run the register, he said that he is the manager and want me leave the bar. I didn’t leave and told me if he wants to leave, he has to get police here. He called police and police ask me to go another bar (Fountainhead). I felt that I was really humiliated by this bartender. At this point, I truly believe he wants screw my money, as he knew I’m here traveling, after I questioned him, he doesn’t want me to tell anyone what was happened. I gave it one star, because it is fun bar, I would recommend to go there, but really be careful some bartender will take vantage of you, so get small bills or pay credit card for your drink.

Love this bar, home from home

Spent my wedding evening here and loved the place. A brit visiting Canada and made to feel so welcome, the locals were great, as was Lucas the bar man. Can't wait to get back to vancouver!

Huge change!

PumpJack has acquired next door property and renovated it to be ....drum roll .... a Dance Floor!!! Gays that danced stopped going out after the Odyssey shut down. Well now the word is spreading that the old lounge like Pumpjack has dancing. Enjoy it cuz it will be overwhelmed soon when everyone comes out again. PS - the old $14 to 20 cover charges have been rolled back too. Junction is only 5 and PumpJack has no cover. UPDATE August 30 2014 - had nasty experience here that tells me staff need more training - wake up Pumpjack manager!
