The Cat’s Pajamas

I've only been to this spot at night, and it's always bustling! The charming rooftop, with its random jet skis and vibrant dance music, promises a good time. I was expecting to see some cat-themed elements at the bar, which makes me even more curious about how they came up with the name!Where are the cats with pjs at though!?!?

Sadly, the Cat's Pajamas doesn't get as much attention as its downstairs neighbors, The Bee's Knees. But, if you're already in the neighborhood and want to avoid the Bee's Knees line, come stop by! I love the outdoor space and the fun photo ops. It's perfect for large groups. Some places can overdo it with their themes, but The Cat's Pajamas strikes the perfect balance--it feels effortless, just like the Bee's Knees downstairs.

Here's the truth, It's super cute and from our one visit staff is really nice. Their drinks are good, great frozen Miami vice.Con's: some very unpleasant guests like super rude and gross, compared to a bunch of other clubs we've visited in Austin, used condom on the floor? DJ probably still playing music that was unable to get even one person dancing. Wouldn't come back, pretty sure everyone's on lean. Currently trying to chug my drink down and go on to the next bar :) But again not on the staff I don't think --they were nice!

This was a big bar that we found while driving around Austin. We were very hot and needed a place to get some drinks and saw this place. We didn't go inside but went up the stairs to their outside bar. The place wasn't very crowded, so we were able to get a few beers and a piña colada. First, the place did look pretty cool. They had plenty of spots you can sit at or even take pics with (swing and telephone booth). They also had plenty of fans around to get cooled off and plenty of shady spots. I did see a lot of lights too so I could imagine the place looking nice at night time. The beers were just beers, nothing fancy and my drink was alright. They did also have a lot of TVs around too to watch whatever sports you into. Overall, it was an ok experience. I think if I were to go back, I would do it at night time and when it's not as hot outside. It's not a bad stop though.

this place is a vibe! I loved the interior it really made the place feel interactive and engaging. The swings were my favorite part about the bar! Someone was always on the swing haha it would be nice if there were more swings so everyone could get a chance to sit on them. The cats pajamas is on the upper level so u need to take the stairs lol i got confused and went to the one right next to it on accident haha

Nice place, good service, and good music. I didn't have any food but the drinks are good and reasonable. The bar is set up cool too, they have swings as seats and the bar is upstairs. I'd go back.

VERY loud late night. But cute vibe with picnic tables, jet skis and swings really leaning into the island vibe. Great piña coladas and a big bar so easy to get drinks even when it's busy. I've been coming here for years and it's like meeting an old friend each time.

Groovy upstairs bar off of West 6th street. I've been wanting to check it out for a long time! Finally made it in on Thursday evening. I had no idea that they are the sister bar of Beez Kneez (downstairs). Asked the friendly bartender for a drink recommendation, and it was a amazing! I love frozen drinks, so I tried the Miami Vice (frozen pina colada & strawberry daiquiri). I would make a trip there just to have that again! The vibe reminds me of being on a beach vacation bar, so much FUN!

I really wanted to like this place as I saw the positive reviews and was impressed with the decor when we first arrived for drinks. Unfortunately, I left with mixed feelings about my experience.I'll start with the good parts. The drinks were good and fairly priced as one would expect from a bar on sixth, and the location is nice as it is fairly close to Star Bar and not exactly right on the main street. It is easy to spot because of all the neon lights, and it is on the second floor with a staircase leading up to it. The Bees Knees I believe is right next door and almost looks like it is the same building, but it is a different bar. I liked the theme that was a mix between tiki bar and Boca Raton.We ordered a few rounds of drinks and actually went to another bar before coming back to try something else at The Cat's Pajamas. Perhaps it was obvious to the bartender that I was a few drinks deep and feeling loose so when I ordered a standard mixed drink just as we did an hour or two ago, the bartender tried to charge me $44 for just 2 mixed drinks, when normally it is $16. The receipt listed 2 wells and a mixed drink and it seemed as if the bartender pretended not to notice the mistake. It certainly is not the first time a bar has tried to pull something like that and it is too bad that this was my first experience here.

I came after a comedy show in need of an equis. That's what I got. I'm gonna give this one a 3.7 overall cuz it was a little tough to acquire the equi
