Description

That lone brown shack you're always driving by on Lake City Way is the Shanty Tavern, self-dubbed "The Last Roadhouse in Seattle." The Shanty's as elusive as it is isolated, too—it's only open two nights a week, on Friday and Saturday evenings. So why should you put the effort into visiting this forlorn beer-and-wine only establishment? The booze is cheap, there's a lively pool-playing neighborhood crowd, and there's always a solid bill of rockabilly bands shaking the shack.
