PUMP HOUSE
Restaurant
and Saloon
A Historical Monument.......
The Pump House as you see it today was reconstructed in the spring of
1978. Our purpose was to attempt to recreate and 1890's "Gold Rush" motif
and atmosphere which was associated with the "Rip Roaring" but still Victorian
era in Fairbanks. Everywhere you look you will see relics from the rich
and illustrious past.
Turn of the Century
Atmosphere......
All the furnishings are authentic and very old. Most are genuine antiques
and a few are over 150 years old. One of the pool tables is an original
Brunswick "Union League" built in 1898 and shipped to Dawson City "The
Klondike" in 1900. The table worked its way down the Yukon River following
the "Rush", stopping at Eagle, Circle and finally resting in Rampart
in Ira Wisner·s Trading Post. The solid mahogany bar was built in Kansas
City, then shipped and reassembled on-site by Mr. Lee Dunn.
First Quality Cusine........
Our food service is "Alaskan Style", which means the combination of
the freshest products possible with our unique culinary heritage. In
season you will find the herbs we use are all grown in our chefs garden
right outside the restaurant. Fresh Alaskan Salmon is delivered to our
dock by floatplane. Our prime beef is aged 21 days to insure maximum
flavor. The Senators Saloon features "The World's Most Northern Oyster
Bar" where the succulent oysters are flown in fresh from Seattle on
AlaskaAirlines. The wine list features the best wines of the Pacific
Northwest.
Alaskan Hospitality.......
The atmosphere is easy and relaxed. Come as you are and sit
on the deck overlooking the historic Chena River and watch the Riverboat
Discovery pass and the float planes land.
