Editorial Review for Cats Meow – by Eric Hartwig

The Scene
The green-and-pink neon sign sets the tone; this is a good-spirited nightclub for conventioneers and tourists with their 18-and-over families. The downstairs main bar area is where the party is happening. A ground-floor courtyard catches overflow crowds. Upstairs is more laid-back, with a small bar, limited seating and a balcony.

The Draw
Popular rock and a sprinkling of country blasts over the speakers, either from the emcee-led karaoke scene or a DJ. A modest dance floor gives the motivated a place to shake their things. The music moves with the clock, with oldies popular during happy hour, classic rock around dinnertime, and modern and alternative rock when the youthful come out after 10pm. The karaoke is free and open to everyone.

User Reviews for Cats Meow

3 Star Rating: Average

The place is a LOT of fun but I would recommend sticking to beer or drinking before you go. I'm a petite girl whose limit is normally 2 drinks and I was still perfectly sober after 6. I don't think there was a full ounce of alcohol among them.

Pros: good kareoke, fun crowd

Cons: bad kareoke, weak drinks, too crowded to dance

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
