Keepin' it real and live at The Shanty Tavern in historic Lake City. Bothell Way begets Victory Way begets Lake City Way, and the old Mac's Shanty honky-tonk roadhouse from 1934 begets the current Shanty Tavern. Cold beer, live music, and great times...but only on Fridays. Even better than a history rundown of this classic dive bar, current owner John Spaccarotelli and his daughter Dana join us and provide a rich chronicle of the tavern and the neighborhood - John's run the joint for over 60 years! Is there still a prohibition-era bootlegger escape tunnel underneath the Shanty? Who knows. Well, John knows but he aint no stooly. Recorded live at The Shanty Tavern on 02/10/2022.
