Catman is the local. Brings the cat. Fixes it the first time. No corporate truck, no trip-charge games — just a real plumber with a real cat and real reviews from people who actually live here.
PJ knows him. Skip the cold call — get the warm intro.
🐈
The Cat
Comes to every job. Comes to the Saddlebar. Has tenure. Probably knows more about Solana Beach plumbing than most plumbers do.
🔧
The Pipes
Fixed Kromeon's sink drain when it mattered. Right the first time. The kind of fix that holds.
🥩
The Beef Jerky
Yes. He also sells beef jerky. The combination is exactly as iconic as it sounds. Ask him about it at the Saddlebar.
📖 Why this page exists
Some local pros are wallpaper. Catman is a character.
You walk into the Saddlebar, there's Mike behind the bar, there's Catman in the corner, and there's the cat. The cat that goes to every plumbing job. The cat that has more Solana Beach social capital than most humans.
"He fixed Kromeon's sink drain — right the first time, no upsell, no return visit. The kind of work that compounds."
Then on the way out, casually: "Want some beef jerky?" Yes. Yes you do. You weren't expecting it but suddenly it's the most natural cross-sell in the world.
This is what local actually looks like — a plumber who is also a regular, who is also a jerky guy, who is also dating Deb, who also brings a cat to work. None of this would happen on Yelp.
SideGuy exists to make sure people like Catman don't get buried under corporate listings. So this page is here. Forever. Indexed. Shareable. Real.
🍹 Where to find him
The Saddlebar · Solana Beach
Mike's bar. Catman's home base when he's not under a sink. The cat is usually with him. Walk in, ask Mike, nod at the cat.
