Very friendly staff! Watch out for the jalapeño infused tequila. . When I asked about it the lovely bartender offered me a shot, then pineapple juice to kill the burn.. really a sweetheart. Bringing home a shirt!

Can't go wrong with a bar decked out in Johnny Cash. Bartenders were badass. It was my first time but definitely not my last.

Always a chill place to hang out after work! Staff is friendly, attentive and engaging. They talk to you as a person not just a number even when it's super busy. The flowers on the tables was a nice touch this time for Mood Live. Great job MEC!!

Love this place. Friendly staff and a cool vibe. We had fun chatting about everyone being transplants from the north east.

We had a blast at Mean Eyed Cat! We held a company event there and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff were great - and enhanced the experience by enjoying themselves along with us. Fun vibe! I'll be going back for sure.
