Review from Cody S.

Richmond commonly has a reputation for being the ultimate bedroom community without any real soul and things to do. The Pioneer is just one of quite a few. It may come as a big surprise, but there are quite a few pubs in Richmond. This is one of my favourites.
The place is a little cozy, albeit pretty small, and has a pretty friendly staff. The clientele (other yelpers seem to like to stereotype them into being creepy and too country) is actually pretty cool. I somehow seem to get along with them just fine. The staff is friendly and pretty quick with anything you want. There are good beer and food specials. For those of you who don't like dive bars, DON'T GO TO THEM!Listed in: Richmond's Bar Scene...or lack…

The Pioneer Pub at No. 3 Road and Williams
The best little draft beer bar in all of Vancouver - includes Guiness!
30 cent chicken wings on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Fantastic daily food and drink specials.
Great friendly staff in a retro 70`s oak trimmed working man`s bar.
Pssst -- Richmond`s best kept neighbourhood pub secret! -

This place is kind of a dive, but it's awesome in it's own way. They have free popcorn to snack on, and their drink prices are freaking cheap! Their food isn't half bad either, and they usually have good specials on all days of the week. The Pi has karaoke on weekends, Fridays I think? Lots of songs to choose from and the regulars are friendly and usually have good singing voices. There's no stage though, so it's kind of akward but whatever, still a good time.
There's a fair share of creepy old men who sit in the corner and stare at you, but that seems to be the norm in most Richmond bars. Also, if you aren't in the mood for seeing at least a handfull of people from your high school (doesn't seem to matter which one you went to, everyone comes here because it's central) this might not be the place for you. -

I don't know where this pub finds its clientele, it has a real Maple Ridge/Abbotsford vibe to it. Some of those folks do live in Richmond and they gravitate to the Pioneer frequently enough to keep them in business.
Pioneer is like no other pub in the Richmond and South Vancouver area (well, there used to be a peeler spot just over the Arthur Lang Bridge, but that shut down quite a few years ago). It certainly must pre-date Richmond's last wave of immigration.
Kind of a seedy atmosphere, but that is what I like about it. It seems so out of place in Richmond. It's a novelty. With its barflies and rundown waitresses.
The food? Average. Better than O'Hares and Malones (the other "more trendy" local Richmond pubs, and I used the term trendy here rather loosely.) The beer? Fine. Wide selection on tap.
