Our Story
Located in Cozad, Nebraska, the Meridian Tap House has been a part of the Cozad Community since its opening in 2021.
During a motorcycle trip through Wyoming and Montana in July 2020, Kristen and Eli Bennett stopped at a laidback bar and restaurant that served pizza, wings, and local beers on tap. It was a good time, but also an inspiration; They loved it!
As luck would have it, that same summer, a long-time vacant building on Meridian Avenue became available for sale. Fast forward to February 2021, and the Meridian Tap House was in business.
Today, with Kristen commanding the kitchen, their three daughters pitching in in a variety of roles, and a dedicated team of local staff – the “MTH” has since become a go-to dining spot in Dawson County. In fact, since its opening, it has won recognition in The Lexington Clipper-Herald “Best of Dawson County” annual list in a whopping 10 categories! It’s a draw for locals looking for a hearty sandwich or an easygoing alternative for hungry travelers happy for a break from I-80 traffic (the restaurant is just a mile off the highway, and a stone’s throw from the 100th meridian landmark).
