Vancouver After Dark: The Wild History of a City's Nightlife

A raucous history of Vancouver's music and entertainment venues, from Prohibition-era nightclubs and Chinatown cabarets to gay bars, dive bars, goth hideaways, discos, and taverns. Archival posters and photos chronicle how the city's nightlife changed with times, and how some of these nightspots ushered in changes to Vancouver. Vancouver after Dark documents the famous people and infamous places that contributed to the non-stop party, at least once the sun went down.
