She also seemed like she didn't actually want to hurt Neo, so she may have been going easy on her at first until she started giving in to her frustration. Hint toward this: Cinder kept trying to talk Neo down instead of just beating her ass.

It wasn't until she utterly destroyed one of the tables that Little Miss kicked them out, so Cinder may have also been trying not to cause too much destruction in Little Miss' tavern, for one reason or another. You saw how the Spiders drew their weapons once Cinder murdered that poor innocent table. Ooh, good points. And Cinder knows the authorities are still after her, so if she made too much of a scene someone would inform the police and then she'd have real trouble on her hands. So I can see why she'd stay her hand, though Neo would have none of it, she wanted Cinder dead, and wasn't gonna stop until she achieved her goal. And she still might, so Cinder better watch her back lest she find a knife in it one day.
