Railway Stage & Beer Café is Vancouver’s longest continually operating nightclub, occupying the same premises uninterrupted from 1931 to 2016.
[1] Three rooms made up the second floor space at the corner of Seymour and Dunsmuir Street.
The second was a pub-style space, and the third retained its 1930s look, with brass fittings and a large wooden bar.
Over the years the 'Rail' hosted many upcoming and local bands as well as some big touring acts.
[3][1] Other bands who have played the Railway include Los Lobos, The Rheostatics, The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Hard Rock Miners, Barenaked Ladies, Yummy Devils, Grapes of Wrath, Great Big Sea and thousands more.
