It’s been two years since Vancouver got a taste of Railtown’s Tailgate Barbecues, and we’re happy to report that the exclusive events are about to make a comeback.
This year there will be two dates for you to get in on the shindigs at the OG location in Railtown (397 Railway Street).

Attendees can choose from August 18 or 25 and enjoy slow-smoked brisket and pork shoulder from a 12-foot smoker/barbecue barrel, beer-brined chicken and brats, as well as a choice of sides like Carolina coleslaw and creamy potato salad to name a few.
Other than the drool-worthy grub, guests can sip on craft beers, sangria, and wine available by the glass and bottle. These beverages are not included in the tailgate ticket price.
