Our Story

Mean Eyed Cat Driftwood marks the next chapter for an Austin original. The bar’s story began in a modest chainsaw repair shop on the edge of Clarksville, where its rustic interior and Johnny Cash memorabilia earned it a loyal following. Now, the spirit lives on in Driftwood, with a brand-new space that carries forward the same outlaw charm. Guests can raise a glass from a curated lineup of local drafts and craft cocktails while soaking in the Cash-inspired atmosphere indoors—or step outside to a sprawling patio and lawn.
