Mean-Eyed Cat — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Personally I have pondered a lot with this review and the reason why I have gave it a low rating is purely based on the way my drink was served, I was given a good choice of cask ciders from a broad but it all went down hill when I chose the drink I desired and the guy said I'll not be a moment and went out the back somewhere in order to fill the glass. I'm not a fan of this process personally but it's definitely cosy and relaxed atmosphere with other ales coming from draft at the bar. Again I like to see where my purchase is coming from.

Based on the response to the original review I had left was a 2☆ I was responded with a very polite and explainable reason to the review I had gave, so with that been said I can actually justify re-evaluating my previous review and rate this a 4☆ simply as it was very much an enjoyable experience and for anyone who has/wants to attend. The ONLY reason why not 5☆ is purely a learning curve for the staff/management to inform the customer of the process.

I would like to that the Mean-eyed Cat for it's feedback and it's handling of constructive criticism.

Thanks...

Fantastic little bar just off Haymarket in Newcastle. As an independent micro-bar, It is very different to the conventional bars in the Haymarket area. It's quirky, friendly and thriving, with a diverse range of cask and keg beers - so similar to other microbars, don't expect standard draft lagers and beers and you won't be disappointed. We've visited alone, with friends for beers, pots of tea and to be served food on Thursdays when top-notch street food caterers rotate to pay their weekly visit. It's a small bar with a really big heart and the owners' extensive fund-raising activities and events are also a pleasure to attend. On every occasion, we've received a very warm welcome and never to cease to leave without making new friends. It's a great place to be and a jewel in the...

Whereas I am not a massive craft beer and ale fan, I was able to note the varied selection they had on offer. Which was plentiful. I ordered a double Makers Mark with a bit of ice and got my drink exactly as ordered. I did appreciate the proper whisker tumbler the drink was served in. A lot of bars in town give the wrong glass when pouring a drink, or even worse a plastic cup. The atmosphere was great and the star of the experience I felt a friendlier than usual presence while there that reminded me of smaller beer houses or coffee shops abroad. Only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is a notable lack in music and a slightly too small list of spirits. Overall definitely worth at least one drink on...
