MWE Solution:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage[left=1.25in, top=1in, right=0.85in, bottom=1in]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\begin{flushleft}
  \begin{minipage}{3.1in}
     \begin{tabular}{ p{3in}|}
            \hline \
           Cell 0-0 \
           \hfill Cell 1-0 \ 
           \centerline{2-0} \
           Cell 3-0 \
           \hfill Cell 4-0 \
           \
            \hline
       \end{tabular}
  \end{minipage}
  \begin{minipage}{3.1in}
     \begin{tabular}{ p{3in} }
            Cell 0-1 \
            Cell 1-1 \
      \end{tabular}
  \end{minipage}
\end{flushleft}
\end{document}

I ended up creating 2 minipages next to each other with the help of this Q&A.
