    I haven't been here for a while, and I found myself pleasantly surprised: There are some new items on the menu!

    All of the Pump Haus classics remain, but their is some new delicious-looking items on the menu. I suggest you come check them out.

    I had the Quesadilla Burger, a classic, and one of my favorites. They added a zesty ranch to it, which I love. Now if they could just add a touch of taco seasoning to the burger, it would be phenomenal!

    I do love the tots here, but they also added sweet potato fries! I couldn't resist and had to order those, and I wasn't disappointed. I may have snuck a few tots off my husband's plate when he wasn't looking.

    We came in with a large group, including an elderly grandma with a disability, and the staff was immediately accommodating and helped us get a table set up for her needs and the rest of the group.

    I don't care for the individual TVs at each booth, but we just shut it off, and that's fine.  

    Overall, a great visit, and I would recommend a trip if you are wanting some pub food with a Pump Haus twist!

    Kaylee the bartender is awesome! Samples of beer on tap to make sure the beer is for you!  Makes you feel young with great music. Service is spot on.

    Terrible service. We were told to seat ourselves and our waitress didnt come to our table for 10minutes. We were only served 1 water each without any offer to refill. Took 20min for them to cook some burgers. Then the hostess had to come by and give us our check and their card system went out. There were only like 3 tables filled in the restaurant. Lastly and most annoying is there were 4 workers either off shift or on break doing nothing to help. Food is okay though.

    This place is always open so if you're stuck in town on a holiday and need somewhere to grab some food and a drink this is your place. The food is always good and the prices are really great compared to other bars in this location. They recently did some remodeling and it looks great. My only complaint is that the owners don't always treat the staff or former staff members respectfully and these people bust their buns on busy nights.

    Neat little bar/restaurant located on Main Street. As it's on Main, be aware that it comes with the standard annoyances of downtown parking. It's usually pretty easy to find a parking spot on the side streets, though, so if you're having issues getting a spot driving down Main, just pull off one of the side streets for less than a block's walk.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere here at the Pump Haus. Even when pretty crowded (almost all of the booths were filled and the entire bar was filled), the location only has a mild noise level. It was still very easy to hear the people I was talking to across the booth table, and it didn't feel like I had to yell. I'm glad to see that the patrons seem to enjoy their alcohol and company without the screaming and loud music that can occasionally occupy bars.

    I enjoyed the fact that every individual booth had its own small television. You can control the power (if you'd rather it be off) as well as the channels. The Pump Haus seems to subscribe to quite a few of the athletic game channels, so you'll probably be able to pick up what you want to watch - or just cartoons. Whatever you want.

    The service was okay here. The server was friendly - it just seemed that she was a bit busy. On multiple occasions, we had empty drinks that were waiting for refills, but she hadn't checked in yet. When we went to use a coupon from our phone, she took the phone along with the check and credit card out of sight - which made me extremely uncomfortable.

    Food itself was okay. Seems like the value really depends on what you order. The Wings seemed like a fantastic value while the pretzel bites (at nearly $7 for what you get for $2 at a pretzel stand) seemed like a rip-off. The Chicken Sandwich was just so-so while everyone at the table really loved their Brew City Beer-Battered Fries. I wouldn't order the Pretzel Bites again (I'd say they were probably below-average in pretzel terms), but their French Fries were good. The person that got their Wings really liked them but wouldn't call them "Jumbo".

    I'm glad to see that the Pump Haus uses healthier oil versions for their food - it made me feel better about some of their food. If you're looking for healthier foods, ask for their Blue Zones menu. It's not delivered by default, but this mini menu offers Blue Zones certified (healthier-focused meals) options like BZ Grilled Chicken Sandwich, BZ Salads, BZ Chipotle Black Bean Burger, and more.

    I'd definitely come back, but I think we'll do more investigating with their menu options to find awesome foods that match the great atmosphere.
