A NEW Rock 'n' Roll dive bar is set to open its doors in Merseyside next year.

Mean-Eyed Cat Bar will arrive on Seel Street in Liverpool next year with work currently underway on the site which is expected to open in February.

The dive bar is inspired by rock ’n’ roll legend Johnny Cash and offers free homemade pizzas with every drink ordered before 9pm.

Owner and Co-Founder, Phil Harrison, said: “Liverpool is the perfect location for our first venue outside of Leeds.

“It’s a homecoming for me, growing up in Merseyside, it had to be Liverpool. Knowing the city’s love of music and the positive energy of the people, made it a simple decision to bring Mean-Eyed Cat Bar to Liverpool.”

“Having already established ourselves as a firm favourite in Leeds bar scene over the last 18 years, we can’t wait to show Liverpool what we have to offer.

"We also have some other surprises up our sleeves for when the bar opens early next year.”

Customers can also sample an array of cocktails and take part in a dice game where they can roll the dice for the chance to win a free round of drinks.

The original Mean-Eyed Cat Bar venue opened in 2004 and resides on Merrion Street in Leeds City Centre.
