Mean Eyed Cat
Mean Eyed Cat is a beloved Austin bar that pays homage to the legendary Johnny Cash. Located at 1621 West Fifth Street, this establishment began as a chainsaw repair shop before being transformed into a bar in 2004 by Chris Marsh, who named it after the Johnny Cash song “Mean Eyed Cat.” The interior is adorned with chainsaws and memorabilia celebrating the Man in Black, creating a unique atmosphere that blends rustic charm with musical history.
