Drunky Two Shoes BBQ is located in the middle of the main drag here in White Center. Sixteenth Street is just a few blocks from the apartment, and home to a host of unique and delicious places to eat. Drunky's is one of our favorites because the smoked-on-premises BBQ is knee-bucklingly tender, flavorful, and delicious. In their words, "All of our meats come from sustainable local farms that pride themselves on organic, hormone free, pasture raised, free-range, well taken care of animals". The atmosphere is a lot of fun too, with everything from a chainsaw chandelier, to a pinball machine and funhouse mirror, to the, often live music happening on the patio out back, by the second bar located in an airstream. Highly recommended.
