Cover 3 Sports Bar Opens on Anderson Lane

As an ex- football player, I was amused by a sports bar naming itself after a defensive strategy which employees three deep defenders each guarding one-third of the deep zone.

Now, whether that will resonate to non football players is the key. Thus far however, according to management, the ratio of women to men has been 60/40, highly unusual for a sports bar.

Cover 3 has opened on Anderson Lane at the site of the old Flores restaurant. At first glance, the menus appear somewhat pricey for a sports bar, especially one that is not downtown. But sports bars have always been a tougher sell in Austin, particularly because we don’t have any professional teams (sorry UT fans). Perhaps this one will be the place that breaks the mold.

The management team is really solid. Matt Dodson, late of Z Tejas, is one of the owners. Also, the Eddie V’s principals are involved.

So we shall see. Call 374-1121.
