This was a spontaneous mid-afternoon stop. I had never noticed The Pump Bar before and I guess that's because it's only been open a couple months. This place is full of Retro eye candy. It's an amalgam of old-time diner mixed with a gas station. I thought it was very cool inside, figuratively not actually. It was actually not that cold inside even though it was a Sweltering hot day on the day I visited. A bar takes up a lot of the space in the middle of the place, and there are lots of old timey swivel chairs for sitting at the bar. In front of a couple large garage doors, which were closed fortunately, a row of high top tables with chairs. On the other side of the room are a few more high top tables with chairs and they've even got a small corner of the room with some video games of some sort. I didn't really check those out. They have a fairly extensive beer list, not too many draft beers on tap though. They do have some really great cocktails our favorite being the Black Betty. There are a variety of food items available, tots seem to be a pretty big thing here. We did not order tots, we ordered a hummus plate which was really good. A pretty generous portion of hummus and next to that a bed of feta cheese topped with olives diced cucumbers and maybe something else alongside a basket of small warmed pitas. We loved it. Lively Grapefruit Radler $8 Hummus Plate $12 Black Betty $10 The place definitely has a cool retro atmosphere. Even though it was mid-afternoon the place was hopping. It should be noted that there is no table service. You need to walk up to the bar and place your food and drink orders and then pick it up at the bar when it's ready. I don't see how this is a sustainable way to run this business however. With the amount of people that were in there, at times there was quite a long line of people waiting to place their orders at the bar. My other gripe was that I ordered canned beer that was not nearly as cold as I would expect especially on an extremely hot day.I can't vouch for the coldness of the draft here since I did not have one. But if you can't serve a super cold beer in a chilled mug on a hot day it's probably not a place that is all that, no matter how cool looking it is inside. I realize the place is relatively new and perhaps they're still working things out. This is the kind of place that I hope survives because it is definitely a cool place. I think they have a little ways to go though before it becomes a regular spot for me. read more
