Team Trivia Every Tuesday, 8/19-6:30-8:30

 Team Trivia, Tuesdays 6:30-8:30


 Get ready for a night of brain-teasing fun, great food, and good times at Mean Deans’ Trivia Night! 


Join us every Tuesday at 6:30 for a lively competition where you and your team can battle it out for bragging rights and prizes. 


Trivia is free to play, and all skill levels are welcome. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, scratch-made dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere while putting your knowledge to the test. 


Space fills up fast, and we can't always take walk-ins, so reservations are highly recommended (and sometimes required.) 


You are welcome to come in and sit at your table as early as 5:15. Happy Hour ends at 6pm and trivia begins promptly at 6:30. Full food and beverage service is provided throughout trivia.


Gather your team, book your spot, and get ready for a fantastic night of trivia, food, and fun!

Live Music Every Thursday, 8/21 Dirt Cheap Spirits Band 5:30-8:30

🎶 Live Music with Dirt Cheap Spirits Band – Thursday 8/21 at Mean Deans! 🎶

   

Based in Bradenton, FL, Dirt Cheap Spirits is a fresh acoustic duo delivering raw, soulful takes on country and island covers. With a deep appreciation for stripped-down sound and honest performances, their sets blend feel-good rhythms with heartfelt storytelling.


Fronted by Anthony on vocals and supported by the smooth guitar work of Jaylen, the duo brings a laid-back but compelling energy to every stage they play. Both have been immersed in music since childhood, and it shows in their natural chemistry and unfiltered style.


Perfect for fans of unplugged vibes and sun-soaked sounds, great for date night or a night out with friends!


Full dinner menu is available during music.


Reservations for music taken for 5:15/5:30pm only, after that it's first come, first served in the music room.


🍹 It’s also Thirsty Thursday—enjoy $5 Happy Hour specials all day!
