I’m Matthew, originally from Edinburgh, Texas, raised in Mustang Ridge, and currently holding down the bar at Mean Eyed Cat. I’ve spent years behind bars (the legal kind), and this one’s exactly my speed. Johnny Cash on the walls, country music in the air, and drinks that don’t mess around.

I believe a proper dive bar should have cold beer, strong pours, and great music. You won’t find fancy garnish or judgment here, just honest drinks, fast service, and a bartender who knows when to talk, when to listen, and when to slide you a shot and mind his business.

Mean Eyed Cat is for regulars, wanderers, music lovers, and anyone who appreciates the Man in Black and a stiff drink. I’m here to keep the music humming, the room feeling right, and everyone properly hydrated (however you define that). If you grew up on country music, love a good dive, or just accidentally walked in and stayed too long, welcome. Pull up a stool, grab a drink, and let’s have a night!
