Pioneer Pub - Half Veggie Half Ground Beef Nachos - Pubs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Run of the mill neighbourhood pub in the Broadmoor area. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall lot. Apparently the place is no longer kid friendly according to my friends. Something to keep in mind. The venue looks like most other old style pubs, with plenty of wood panelling. There is a (free) popcorn machine in the corner, which is nice when one has the munchies. There are plenty of TV screens around too for watching sports. Staff were friendly. I will agree with some other reviewers here in saying that the tables and chairs are dirty and sticky. They need to wipe these a bit more often. The beer and fries I had were of decent quality but nothing special. Maybe I'll try some food one of these days. read more

I felt this pub is more of your neighborhood pub where older folks went and hung out. Seriously, that was the demographics of the night - older Caucasians. I stuck out like a sore thumb, lol This was my first time here even though I used to live in this neighborhood. Service was nearly non-existent. The tables and chairs were soiled with food remnants and sauce, and the server told us to sit there... We had to swipe the chairs with our hands and then go to the washroom to wash the hands. Bad first impression! The setting was pretty laid back. I found the popcorn stand pretty neat. You can go and get popcorns yourself, compliments of the pub. Aside from the Guiness (which is not prepped 'in-house'), everything we ordered was meh. My reuben was just off... not sure what the issue (maybe no mustard) was but my own version is a lot more delicious. The fries that came with the sandwich was overly-done. They were so dry and doughy. The Friday special prime rib dinner was meh. It didn't even look appetizing. The burger was just your standard burger. The Coke was served with too much ice that the entire drink was watered down. read more

Our search for a wing place is over! Pioneer's Pub just gained a group of local soccer dads. I've been looking for a wing place in Richmond where we can sit, chat, eat and drink some with the boys. At first, I was reluctant to try this place out but it turned out way better than expected. I'm not a smoker so the only thing I didn't like was the smell of smoke. Patrons smoke outside but the smell follows them in. But that's just how pubs are. And that's my only con. Wing night is every Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 3pm. No minors allowed (sorry kiddies). They have other daily specials as well, just checkout their website. There's plenty of on-site parking since it's located in a strip mall. The service that night was awesome despite operating at ~90% capacity. Our server was super friendly and really helpful with all the questions we had. The wings were awesome! My top 5: + Gump Wings (a combination of honey garlic and spicy), + Honey Garlic, + Cajun, + Sweet Chili, and + Lemon Pepper wings. One thing I notice is they use biodegradable paper drinking straws for the environmentally conscious. Two thumbs up for that. read more

Been here a couple of times for beers, but never for breakfast (Monday - Saturday 10:00 - 14:00; Sunday 9:00 - 14:00) as I've heard the portion sizes are above average and at a reasonable price. Ordered the Pioneer Weekend Breakfast Special consisting of 2 eggs, 3 pcs of bacon, 2 pcs of toast, hash browns, and french toast. The taste was just your average "American Style Breakfast" that most other establishments can provide, but to say it was filling would be a vast understatement. For under $10, not including tax and tip is well worth it. There is plenty of parking and the staff were attentive and friendly. read more

WINGS!! Amazing, plump, large, juicy wings that are 75 cents each all day long on Tuesdays with the purchase of any drink. The wings come in batches of 10 and they come piping hot, fresh, and delicious. Flavour choices include terriyaki, honey garlic, Cajun, Thai, salt and pepper, lemon pepper, hot, gump, bbq, and more. Would highly recommend this place for wing night or wing mornings. The place is cozy and service is friendly. read more

Cindy (usually Tuesday) and Victoria (usually Wednesday) are always great to us. Victoria knows what we like to drink and bring the drinks to us right after we sit down signaling that we are here. Cindy subbed in on Wednesday sometimes and she is always friendly as well. Great place for drinks and late night meal! read more

Went there on mid day Sunday. Nice location with lot of parking available. Staffs are all very friendly. Foods are decent. May go back for dinner again. read more

I love this place, demographic is definitely much older than me but it's a great place to get a sandwich and a drink. Waitstaff are friendly :) read more

Last week I got a newsfeed and to my surprise the former owner of my all-time favorite sub place has resurfaced as a short order cook in a pub in Richmond and she's serving her famous Bob's Sub ONLY ON SATURDAYS. Well, hello Pioneer Pub! Naturally, we headed down to Richmond this past Saturday. We easily found the pub in a strip mall near Steveston and parking is not a problem. We got there just a little after 12pm and the place was already packed. We found a table near the bar and kitchen and a friendly waitress quickly came over to give us menus and took our drink orders. The Bob's subs are not on the menu but when I asked the waitress she told me it's like a secret menu item (for now until they update the menu or the specials board.) The 12" is $20 while the 6" is $13 and it comes with fries - pricier than the original ($15 for the 12" sub only). While waiting for our subs, I got a chance to observe the bar. It's a bit of a dive but in that friendly sorta divey way. The patrons seem to be locals in their 50+. Most of them were just sitting around sipping their beers while watching TV, talking to their mates and/or playing Keno. The place was noisy like a pub should be and people are moving about so familiarly, and the patrons are talking to just about everyone they meet. I could've sworn I heard angels singing when our waitress served our much anticipated subs! I stared at this beautiful sandwich for awhile before I cut into it to make it more manageable. I slowly pulled away a 3" portion as the melted cheese tried to stay with the rest of the sandwich. The warm and slightly crispy beef and capicollo heaped in the sandwich tried to escape along with the sweet caramelized onions and grilled mushrooms but I persevered and was able to contain them all as I took my first bite. The juices were running down my fingers as I savored my favorite sub. Or so I thought. I guess my tongue/muscle memory started doing some comparison and I found this sandwich a tad too salty. I ate each piece separately and found that the capicollo was the culprit. It gets even more salty when I ate the overly seasoned fries so I set those aside. I also didn't like the leaf lettuce as it got wilted easily by the grilled meats and melted cheese. (The original had shredded lettuce which stood up to the heat much better.) I took out some of the capicollo and proceeded to finish half my sandwich (the rest to go because it was still a good sandwich!) It's a good thing our very attentive waitress brought us a 1/2 litre of pop as refill to quench the salt. I'm so glad that my favorite sub is back but I hope she changes capicollo supplier and buy from her original supplier and bring back the shredded lettuce! read more

Pioneer Pub - Bob's Subs are back!!! - Pubs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Incredibly awful slowwwwwww service. Lack of better management to check on their service staff who hardly perform their paid duties. I went and got my own beer from the counter and asked for the food menu from the bar service staff. We Saw the service staff hanging out by the bar counter talking and laughing away even after making eye contact with them after sitting down and felt utterly ignored! They don't even bother to ask your name or say Hi. Unprofessional and lazy service staff to say the least. Extreme embarrassment to the industry. And of course I'd pass word around to my many many acquaintances who live around that part of Richmond and more. Why spend your your money at a place where there is lousy & no service!! Lots of better pubs around for sure! One word .. LOUSY PUB TO BE AT! read more

I use to get good food and good service from this place on my other few visits, but this time I was lucky enough to get one pint of beer, after that it's like I was being ignored.. Maybe it's my youthful appearance that puts people off? Either way, I won't be coming back here anytime soon.. read more

....Where everybody knows your name. Pioreer Pub is a warm & friendly place. The layout is open and seating comfortable. The serving team is efficient and happy. I really love the FREE popcorn. There's a wide selection of drinks & specials. The kitchen makes excellent wings & fries & gravy. There's so many TVs you will feel like you are actually at the game! Perfect for the whole gang. The Pioneer Pub is a wonderful place. read more

Pioneer Pub - Pubs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Richmond commonly has a reputation for being the ultimate bedroom community without any real soul and things to do. The Pioneer is just one of quite a few. It may come as a big surprise, but there are quite a few pubs in Richmond. This is one of my favourites. The place is a little cozy, albeit pretty small, and has a pretty friendly staff. The clientele (other yelpers seem to like to stereotype them into being creepy and too country) is actually pretty cool. I somehow seem to get along with them just fine. The staff is friendly and pretty quick with anything you want. There are good beer and food specials. For those of you who don't like dive bars, DON'T GO TO THEM! read more

Though the chicken wing special is 35 cents each, they might happen to be the tiniest wings I have ever laid eyes on. The service was horrible to a point where we ended up leaving. When we were waiting and trying to get our waitresses attention for almost 20 min in this small bar we decided to take matters into our own hands. One of our friends who came with us asked her as she walked by if we can make an order and the waitress said "I'm Busy! I will come back in a bit" We understand your are busy at work but a smile or something would be nice. Hint hint *Customer Service Industry* means to make clients feel good or at least not make them feel horrible. She never came back. We asked another waitress for our bill about half an hour later, paid up and went somewhere else. In summary, if you like tiny chicken wings, bad service, a choice of only TWO beers (Coors and Canadian) then come here and hang out with the blue collar after work drink alone crowd. If you want something better try anywhere else. read more

This is your typical neighbourhood pub, so it's great for the locals and walking distance, as one shouldn't be driving home lol. It's more than decent, a bit outdated, but fine to get out of the house and enjoy beer and a sports game. free parking in this plaza, by Petrocanada. closes midnite. read more

This place is kind of a dive, but it's awesome in it's own way. They have free popcorn to snack on, and their drink prices are freaking cheap! Their food isn't half bad either, and they usually have good specials on all days of the week. The Pi has karaoke on weekends, Fridays I think? Lots of songs to choose from and the regulars are friendly and usually have good singing voices. There's no stage though, so it's kind of akward but whatever, still a good time. There's a fair share of creepy old men who sit in the corner and stare at you, but that seems to be the norm in most Richmond bars. Also, if you aren't in the mood for seeing at least a handfull of people from your high school (doesn't seem to matter which one you went to, everyone comes here because it's central) this might not be the place for you. read more

The Pioneer Pub at No. 3 Road and Williams The best little draft beer bar in all of Vancouver - includes Guiness! 35 cent chicken wings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Fantastic daily food and drink specials. Great friendly staff in a retro 70`s oak trimmed working man`s bar. Pssst -- Richmond`s best kept neighbourhood pub secret! Recently purchased by the old Legends crew... read more

food seems ok little bit of a dive bar bunch of locals about 15 taps daily specials tunes s'arright read more

I agree with what other people say. Wings are tiny compared to lets say Legends and other ones. Service is slowwww as hell. Full house and only 1 server? Come on now. 2nd time i went, still 1 server and the place was also packed. Id come here if i feel like wings and there are no other places to go to. read more

It was alright. It was pretty much what I expected when I went in. extremely casual. Sit wherever you wanted type of place. The service was a little slow, but I think they only had one server. The portions were decent, but the food was mediocre. It was also really loud. I understand that it's a pub but it was hard to keep a conversation going with my friend without having to yell or repeat ourselves. Would I go back? Maybe if I'm feeling rowdy, like if I went to watch a game and had a beer. Would I go back just to hang out with my friend and have dinner? Probably not. read more

Definitely a neighborhood pub! This place has great energy and is pretty crowd accommodating. The food is alright for a quick bite. However, the upbeat, loud atmosphere might not exactly be the perfect place for catching up, since you'll probably find yourself yelling over each other the entire time. read more

Lots of great things to say about the Pub. Food and price point is quite impressive. Where can you find a PITCHER of Canadian for 13.75$, the housedraft "pi draft"(Pilsner lager)Pitchers 11.75$,Wings special 3 days a week 50 cents each tues,wed,thurs? Its a bar with a lot of regular customers and a highly satisfying menu with lots of variety. One highly recommended item is the chicken tenders and fries, made in house and to DIE FOR! Interesed only in drinks but want something to soak up the alcohol? No PROBLEM.. FREE POPCORN, Made Fresh daily. Also during the week they host kareoke on Friday nights after 8pm and do LIVE bands once or twice a month on Saturdays! Thurs is TRIVIA after 8pm. This is just the tip of the iceberg, follow them on facebook or instagram for more info on specials, events and promotions going on! read more

We came here on wing Wednesday. Each order must be 10pcs or more. Our server didn't seem to be enjoying her job and spoke very soft. I couldn't quite make out what she was saying. I had her repeat and only got that I needed order a drink with the wings. Must be a combo deal or something. Anyhows we tried the bbq wings and the honey garlic with a glass of iced tea. Both basket of wings didn't look to appetizing and they were quite small. I wouldn't come again for the wings. Perhaps the prime rib on Friday would be more satisfying. read more

Nice local pub. Big TVs showing sports games. $0.35 wings on Tuesday - Thursday after 5 till closing. Brewed Iced Tea is good and complimentary popcorn. read more

Its cosy if pop corn and peanuts on the floor don't bother yah. Best thing about this bar are the slightly more humble staff and Karaoke night, on saturday I think. This bar needs to continue with entertainment to keep people coming. Also the inside is outdated. read more

Absolutely horrible service. The waitress barely addressed us. Took over 15 minutes to take our order and acted as if she was doing us a favour by serving us. I also watched her treat every table this way. She messed up my order and then charged me for her mistake. Having been a server I understand how taxing it can be. But this was actually the worst service I've ever encountered. Once we were almost done our food I watched the cook go into a washroom and grab the plunger and then started plunging one of the sinks in the kitchen. I'm absolutely disgusted and horrified by the whole experience we had tonight. I would never go back and will be contacting a manger and health inspections in regards to what we encountered. read more
