Pumphouse

This is a review for only Friday/Saturday nights.

I have only lived in this city for a couple months but it didn't take long for me to find the Pumphouse. To be honest, I like this place but I cannot figure out why this is one the more popular spots compared to the tons of other bars around the area (although I haven't visited all of them).

Inside you'll notice a lot of younger people (mid 20's) and it's a pretty even ratio between men and women. There's a couple bars inside and it never takes me too long to get a drink. In the corner there's a dance floor type area where most people start dancing as the night progresses and the drinking commences. The sound system sounds good inside, but what really surprised me was the quality of the sound and stage outside. Unfortunately, I've noticed not many people go there to see the bands as it tends to be more empty outside compared to the inside... at least the nights I've been there.

Bottom line -
If you want to go out with some friends, single or not but can't decide, this is the spot. It has a bit of everything really. A DJ, dance floor, band, outside seating, drinks, good sized crowd, and they even sell pizza on the way out when it's closing time (which I think is an amazing idea). Check it out, it ain't so bad.

Good sports bar,  I'm kind of surprised by all the 3 star reviews.   I had a pizza,  it was good,  the other guy I was with had a Philly cheese,  he said that was good.   We watched a game,  had some nachos ,  also good. There was a band outside that was also above average.

This place is fairly bland and the other reviews are pretty spot on but I have to say, the middle-aged guy singing a wide range of songs kinda blew my mind when he covered the Backstreet Boys. So there's that.
