Mean Eyed Cat Bar

A Johnny Cash Homage

Step into a unique Austin institution where the spirit of Johnny Cash lives on at the Mean Eyed Cat Bar. Housed in a former chainsaw repair shop, this bar is an obsessive tribute to "The Man in Black." Inside, walls are adorned with a remarkable collection of Cash memorabilia, including portraits, posters, handwritten lyrics, and even actual chainsaws, creating an atmosphere that is both reverent and delightfully quirky. The bar is named after Cash's own song, "Mean Eyed Cat."

Live Music and Rustic Charm

The Mean Eyed Cat Bar offers more than just a themed experience; it's a vibrant hub for live music. Their spacious, dog-friendly patio, shaded by a massive, 300-year-old Texas Live Oak, frequently hosts local musicians. Patrons can enjoy creative cocktails and a rotating selection of local craft beers while soaking in the rustic ambiance. The vibe is welcoming, humorous, and distinctly Austin, reflecting the owners' deep understanding of local hospitality.
