I am appalled by the way me and my friends were treated last night. As a gay bar that has existed on Davie street for more than 20 years I would have expected an experienced staff and people who weren't stuck in the past with misogynistic and transphobic idealogy. This was my first time going to this establishment, I can't say I will ever return. Their staff don't have your safety as any intrest and are extremely lucky that no one got hurt last night. My friends drink got spiked by a man there, their drink tasted bitter and luckily they didn't have more than a few sips before realizing something was wrong. Upon alerting staff that our friend was drugged. Blatantly telling the manager on staff that he was drugged he refused to believe that and instead believed that he was intoxicated when he had had 4 drinks in total all from the bar in a span of over 6 hours. Something which they should know from having a liquor license isn't enough for someone to be intoxicated. They then proceeded to kick us out risking us sue-ing them and losing their liqour license under the duty of care act which was established in 1973, something everyone who takes their serving it right (which is required by law to serve alcohol in BC) should be very familiar with. They are lucky our friend wasnt hurt and we won't be pressing charges. The bartenders seemed drunk or under the influence of something. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN OR HAVEN'T HAD YOUR GENDER MARKER CHANGED ON YOUR ID DO NOT COME HERE. We were also told by multiple patrons that "women aren't allowed here." we were all trans men. Pump jack isn't living in 2025 with the way they run their establishment and the way they allow their patrons to treat people. If for whatever reason you decide to go here don't leave your drink unattended for a second, or you can be in danger of getting raped especially if you aren't in a group.


Passport required to enter

Pity you guys don't state any where on here that you need your passport in hardcopy a photocopy is not accepted.. Sad, esp when someone comes all the way from New Zealand


Too crowded...and stinky

way way too crowed and extremely stinky...I guess the Bear/Cub crowd doesn't wear aftershave, colonge and or deoderant..Too bad..probably won't be back...later


Great Saturday night!

Pumpjack is the place for the over 35 crowd to go to avoid the snobbish Millennials at other area clubs & have a great time. Good, friendly crowd on Saturday nights, great music & strong drinks! My Saturday night hangout place!


HOT Bears and Otter studs
