Anyone who hasn’t been to the Stockyards in a year might be surprised to see that Mule Alley is no longer a parking lot. The long and narrow-ish space between the historic mule barns is now a bustling development full of new restaurants, bars, and retail spaces. Some businesses like Avoca Coffee Roasters and Cowtown Winery are well known to locals, while others like Provender Hall and recently opened Sidesaddle Saloon are the respective ventures of local restaurateurs Marcus Pasley (Piattello Italian Kitchen, Clay Pigeon) and Sarah Castillo (Taco Heads, Tinie’s Mexican Cuisine).
