Welcome to Mean-Eyed Cat, a dive bar that channels the spirit of the Deep South and proudly hosts the iconic Roll the Dice game. Roll that lucky six, and your round is on the house - who wouldn’t want that? With a rebellious edge and an abundance of lively energy, the restaurant pays homage to the rock 'n' roll icon, Johnny Cash. Stirring up trouble in Leeds since their establishment in 2015, they have now expanded their footprint to Liverpool and now Manchester’s Northern Quarter, which was newly opened in September 2023.
When it comes to beverages, the cocktails are pretty legendary. Bringing enough Southern soul to keep you feeling mischievous all night long, the cocktails include Mean classics of a 1940s New Orleans classic, the Hurricane, and a Rum Runner blend of Goslings Black Seal rum with blackberry liqueur, banana syrup and lime juice, mixed with just a pinch of spice and topped with a mini cowboy boot. Whether you like them sweet like the Peach Cobbler, or a bit smokey like the Pineapple BBQ, there's something for everyone. Grab a free 6 inch handmade pizza with any drink before 9pm – honestly! Mean Eyed Cat’s handmade pizzas, with flavours straight from the Deep South like Texas BBQ and smoky chipotle, are seriously tasty. This is an offer you simply don’t want to miss. Pizza toppings range from the buffalo cauliflower with a tomato base, mozzarella cheese, cauliflower and Southern Buffalo sauce, to the pizza topped with hot dog pieces and mustard.
If you're looking for a cracking occasion space, look no further. Mean Eyed Cat hires out its second bar, The Saloon, for parties of up to 50 guests, and if you have up to 180 guests, you can hire out the entire House of Cash for the ultimate dive bar experience.
