If you're not a fan of Johnny Cash don't waste your time joining me at Mean Eyed Cat!! This former chainsaw repair shack is unpretentious and full of character. There's a great beer and wine selection, and the "hot a**" wasabi nuts are a must. The crowd is laid back and fun, and the music is classic country (Cash, Cash, Cash, Haggard, Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr & III, etc...). I'll meet you there on Friday's....bring some singles and pull up a stool!!

Pros: Atmosphere, Music, Beer selection

Cons: Limited seating
