An absolutely cracking little micro, so good that I could not read any of my notes after "one room...". I believe that I had a very nice and rather potent stout from the half dozen cask ales and 8 or so kegs. I do remember a lively buzz of conversation and a friendly barman. Definitely worth finding.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Mean-Eyed Cat
Quirky micro-pub located at one end of a short parade of single-storey shop units that look somewhat out-of-place in the city centre, and the neon 'Sorry we're OPEN' sign will help you find it! Anyway, it has the expected (if very mixed selection of) simple furniture and an eclectic choice of pictures and posters on the walls. Small covered yard garden at the back. Six handpumps can be found on the counter, offering a pair of cask ales from Almasty, Till the Bitter End from Black Iris (£4.40) and others from Turning Point, Ossett and Five Points. Up to eight craft keg beers also available from a colourful array of taps on the side wall.

We managed to walk past this one as we hadn't realised it was up a side street at the end of a row of single storred shops. It has a neon sign outside that says "Sorry We're Open". To be honest it looks like a shed from the outside. Inside is rather more comfortable with an eclectic mix of tables and chairs. The walls are covered in a plethora of pictures, posters and general tat. Friendly barman was on hand to assist Ms CAMRA with her choice from the 6 handpumps, 5 of which I hadn't had before. Both our beers were in very good nick. They sell a large selection of rocket fuel in cans. A couple we got talking to said that they come into toon once a month to stock up on the cans. They spent about £90 on take outs having had a couple of beers in the pub. We both liked it in here and will most likely call in again next time we're here.
