I can't believe that they asked a regular Sunday Customer to leave yesterday and when one of his friends went to explain he's on medication and the friend was told you can't mediate for him or talk for him and your friend has to leave and you will have to leave as well because you are being a trouble maker. All because he wanted to explain to them about his friends Medical Condition. The staff didn't have a problem serving them and taking their money that they tipped but didn't want to discuss anything just make an uninformed decision that this person was to drunk, even though the customer was not rude or rowdy. Certainly isn't a place I would like my money to go to with that attitude. And staff not taking the time to find out anything. read more

Just a typical gay bar, good size dance floor, decent drinks and ambiance. Crowd might defer on certain nights.

This is your leather / bear bar, just toned down a bit compared with similar bars in other cities. It has a, well, to put it politely, a unique smell to it. A friend says it's the smell of beer and wood chips. I can't quite figure it out. It's a laid back crowd. There's a pool table. No cover charge. Tables have peanuts in the shell, and patrons eat them and drop the shells on the floor. This is a good bar if you're into the leather and bear scene. read more

Our to-go bar during weekends and Friday nights. They have a decent cover and decently-priced drinks. It's generally a mixed crowd but it's chill and we like the ambiance. The washrooms could use an upgrade though. The shower is a plus! read more

This is the first gay bar I visited in my Canadian trip with my partner. We are from Los Angeles and our expectation of gay bar is really high. We came in the bar on Wednesday and didn't expect much from it. However, I gotta say this is the best bar in Canada during our entire trip from the west to east of Canada. We arrived in the bar around 9 and had couple beer at first. It wasn't crowded since it Wednesday, but the bartender made our night is the best night at the bar ever. Danny, the bartender, provided us an extremely good services and hospitality. He kept up the conversation with us the whole night and a lot of advices for us on our first time in Canada. The services is here really quick. They have a lot of interesting show on the weekend. Game machines are on the back of the bar. Free pretzel are located on the bar. The price of the drinks is really decent. It was great experience for us , definitely come back to pumpjack the next time we are in town. read more

See all

The bartenders here rock. They are always so fast and there main priority is to get you your drink order so you can continue having a great time. The music is the usual top 40 remix's but overall a good time. read more

I thought the crap was taken care of after New Years but obviously NOT, I didn't mind waiting in line after the Pride parade only to be told by the door "PFP" or Pay For Pride as I and others watched as the door staff let you go to the front of the line for $20 or for $50 you got right in. You are what gives this city and this bar a bad reputation. I was a bit taken back when I mentioned this to the bar staff who took it in stride and laughed it off as being the norm which begs me to wonder that if you showed up at an Emergency department, guess what, for an extra $1,000 you get seen first. Your lucky it doesn't work that way but for this door staff & the owners, I hope they get the message. read more

This seems to be one of THE spots to hit up on Davey Street. So glad I did too. Lot's of eye candy. Cheap drinks and a HOT shower show (on certain night I assume). Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in town. read more

Definitely one of my favorite bars! Bartenders are friendly, drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is laid back and completely free of pretention. read more

Such a great fun time. Staff are awesome good music and good beer. Most of the customers are pretty cool as well. A few crazies around but that happens everywhere. Great bar - check it out! read more

Unpretentious neighborhood bar attracting pretty much all types (of men, few women). Friendly crowd. Never a cover charge even on peak days when they could easily get away with it. Best drink prices of all the Vancouver gay bars, with daily specials making it even better. Sunday afternoon/early evening is the most popular day and most diverse crowd with the $2.90 draft pints and friendly crowds often causing a line-up. read more

Man you gotta love PJ's. Ignore the talk, I went through the phase of stepping more quickly when crossing the facade on Davie but there is nothing to be frightened of, ha ha. Actually it took being at a Rotary Club do (no, my Dad's a member not me) and being asked to ditch out and go "to PJ's" by an older second cousin who was also there. After discovering that PJ's meant Pump Jack and getting over the shock that a family member was a real live f@g-hag, I agreed and had a blast! I usually go during the day (though often stay for a while longer) and every one is just so FRIENDLY (and not in a creepy way, since that's what you were thinking). There are peanut shells on the floor, the decor, well, that word doesn't really fit, but you'll learn great things like the GENUINE thrill of pinball (I dare you!) and that when it comes to a good time, good people go a hell of a lot further than a "concept" or a fabulous martini menu. Give it a go, roll with the flow, and you'll not regret it! read more

No table service but bartenders and busboys are friendly and efficient. Great place to hang with friends on Tuesdays/Sundays for Well Drinks/Kegger Specials. FREE pretzels and shelled peanuts! :) read more

Great staff and fun place. Saturday for dancing and Sunday for cheap drinks

Came here last Friday for a beer in the early evening, place was busy with an older bear type crowd and quite lively. The bar could use some work, the mousey bartender was very unfriendly, but was told later by some of the locals not to take it personally, as he treats everyone like that. Beer was mostly in pints Canadian style, could have been a little colder, unless they like it slightly warm here like the Brits. Crowd thins out after 8, so best to come early. read more

Best bar in the village for being accepting, welcoming and good fun. Staff are awesome!!!

I found the place dark, dirty, and depressing, the bartender seemed like he was in mourning, the beer warm and the glass dirty. All in all not a great experience, and I'm not an uptight martini guy. Not a place I'd return. read more

smelly, dirty, dingy, dark....can I tell you any other reason why I love it?

I have wrote my review here, I checked it today, someone took it off. I'm going to post again. I will check back, if someone took it off from here, I will post again. Went to Vancouver for 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. 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. read more

Really? A cover charge for a bar???? It was Friday night and just after 9pm....they were charging a 5$ cover charge to get in the door. I asked the doorman "for what? so I can pay your already high booze prices?" I remember BC always stood for bring cash but now you can get a good fleecing at the same time. There are lots of other fun bars to drink Friday night without being fleeced for a cover charge. Shame on the greedy pump jack owners. read more

love this place, great friendly staff, laid back vibe, cheap beer, and a great place to meet guys.
