Editorial Review for The Mean-Eyed Cat – by Tara Hall
In Short
Well-lit and small, this joint maintains an old neighborhood-hangout feel with vintage decor and Johnny Cash memorabilia. The square bar nearly fills the main room and serves an assortment of beers, wine and sake, but no hard liquor. The adjoining room offers a pool table for serious sharks. Regulars sit at the tables out back on the spacious, gravel-covered patio. Creative bar snacks--including Frito pie on Mondays--are also available.

I've lived in Austin for years and have driven by the Mean Eyed Cat thousands of times. I stopped by a few weekends ago and had a pitcher of beer with some friends. Although this is considered a "dive" bar, it's pretty nice on the inside for a dive bar and has a great outdoor patio you can sit at. This is definitely an Austin spot and a great place to hang out with friends.

This is a fun bar to sit outside and feel like you're somewhere out in the Texas Hill Country. It has a relaxed icehouse feel, but it's full of rock 'n rollers instead of bikers. Convenient location across from El Arroyo makes it a good first stop while you're on your way into town for a night of fun.
