Info from Vancouver Is Awsome
The Town Pump was the last great rock and roll club in Vancouver. Scratch that — If you loved live music you loved the Town Pump, because every genre of music played its stage too.
The Town Pump opened in 1971 at 66 Water Street in Gastown by Ruben Kopp and Edward Keate.
But for the better part of two decades the Town Pump played a huge role in Vancouver’s music scene, and played host to some incredible shows. The venue has been closed and vacant for years now. Perhaps it could one day reopen as a live music venue?
