14 Best Bars in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"Climb ancient, creaking stairs to a second-floor space and there, before you, is a Vancouver legend. Once a members-only club for railway workers, the Railway Stage & Beer Cafe—or just the "Railway Club," as it's known by locals—has been part of the city's bar scene since 1931. But the place really came of age in the 1980s, when the incredibly small stage hosted everyone from Sarah McLachlan and KD Lang, to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, who allegedly walked off the stage when hecklers decided, you know, he wasn’t all that." - Guy Saddy
