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.

ROB Camra left this review about Mean-Eyed Cat

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.

Old Boots left this review about Mean-Eyed Cat

Looks like a shed but it was probably an old shop now it’s a single room micro. Counter to the back right and home to six pulls, at least seven kegs, five boxed ciders and various cans. Red and yellow walls decorated with a profusion of posters, wrestling and otherwise and Mexican Day of the Dead dollilies in line with the tequila bar theme. Lots of mixed seating mainly at tables and chairs. Rather weird gents toilet.
