“This was quite a unique experience. 2 of the bartenders were very kind. I do vanlife and the highway was shut down due to blizzard warnings. This was the closest place with food. Drinks. And music that was open until 330 am.
The crowd was chill and full of dancing, dancing to actual band with instruments. It was very cool. There's a pool table, and the vibe is old school like.”

With your help I will be able to take my class on field trips this May without having to ask for extra funds from families.

“The raspberry balsamic salad with chicken is excellent, had it 2x. Most staff was pleasant, but the bartender was practically dismissive... perhaps he was too busy, but still, we were ignored for way too long considering the number of people there at the time.”

“OK. This might be a little long/different type post from me but I want to give a big plus to a waitress. We were in Fairbanks Alaska at The Pump House. We were taken care of by not just a good, not a great but my all time best server I have ever had. Her name is Jenna. I want to say that she is my all time best and favorite waitress in my 77 years of being. The food and ambiance were also good. But Jenna was fantastic Thank you Jenna”

“I can’t say enough about this place. It helped provide entertainment, great food, and great drinks while we waited for our next Alaskan adventure during our week long visit. I have to give a very special shout-out to Denaeuh. If you get a chance, don’t leave Fairbanks without spending time with her at the bar in Pike’s Landing restaurant. She’s a genuine person with outstanding customer service and hospitality. Her drinks, food recommendations, service, and conversation were excellent! If/when we come back, we will seek out this restaurant and service with Denaeuh. Overall… I highly recommend. It’s a great place!”
