The 10 Best Dive Bars In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Mean Eyed Cat is massive. It’s Johnny Cash-themed, and because there are a few areas where you can order a drink, you’ll never go more than a few seconds without a very cold beer in hand. It also opens at 11am—and has a great patio—making it especially convenient if you just grabbed brunch down the street and want to keep the day going. To sit on the patio and watch the street traffic" - nicolai mccrary

Austin Barbecue Truck Distant Relatives Opens New Sausage Restaurant | Eater Austin

"A longstanding West Austin dive bar opened in 2004 and renovated in 2013 under new management; its physical storefront was used as the hardware store in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). The venue has hosted on-site restaurant spaces that have shifted identities over the years (including incarnations of established barbecue concepts that later changed names or closed), has plans to expand into Kyle, Texas, and will host the new sausage-focused truck at its 1621 West Fifth Street location." - Nadia Chaudhury
