About Us
Originally a Trailways station in the 1950's, the Town Pump has
been a local landmark in the Black Mountain area. On display around
the tavern are old beer cans, stuffed critters, and a bar-back that is
100 years old! For fun we have four dartboards, a killer jukebox,
and a foosball table. If you want to test your luck you can try to
throw a dollar bill so it will stick to the 14-foot high ceiling, along
with the other faded dollar bills that prove it can be done.
Proprietors Dan and Kristi Johnston took over the Pump in October 2000
and have been delivering the music and the beer to the thirsty masses
ever since. The couple keeps the rustic tavern alive and kicking with
guaranteed original music, the finest regional microbrews, fashionable
Town Pump memorabilia (t-shirts and hats available), and a laid back
atmosphere. One of the oldest running music rooms in the county, the
Town Pump supports original music. No cover bands here folks! An array
of artists and bands playing original music genres consisting of Americana,
Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, and the Blues, can be heard 5 nights a week.
On Wednesdays, anyone can play and sing at Open Mic Night, hosted by our
very own Parker Brooks. And on Sundays the Bluegrass Jam offers a chance
for the area's musicians to get together and pick. The Jukebox plays the
best tunes of all time, when the stage is empty. The good music abounds
at the Town Pump.
