A new patio bar and cantina has opened in San Marcos.
Blind Salamander Cantina — a two-story bar and restaurant — sits at the corner of North LBJ Drive and Hutchison Street. The inside is painted in bright pastel colors. The music is blasting. The food is dished out fresh and the drinks are flowing.
“The unique atmosphere of The Blind Salamander will be like nothing else in all of San Marcos,” Owner Allen Shy told the Daily Record before its opening. The cantina’s unique name is a nod to the Blind Salamander, an endangered species that resides in the San Marcos River. “It’s something that all Southwest Texas/Texas State students learn about. I wanted a brand that would represent San Marcos,” Shy added.
