It's completely different from the other HopCat locations -- big enough, but with an intimate vibe. With a small sidewalk patio, we’re located around the corner from the Michigan Theater, Hill Auditorium, State Theatre, Rackham Auditorium, and University of Michigan’s full campus. We’re known for our award-wining Cosmik fries, which are beer battered, sprinkled with our signature cracked black pepper seasoning, and served with a side of warm cheese sauce. From burgers to tacos, our menu offers a wide range of delicious options. We live the craft lifestyle - beer, cocktails and even craft food made from scratch. With a dedication to local breweries, sustainability and community engagement, HopCat offers craft beer and great food in a vibrant atmosphere for an inclusive, unforgettable experience.

Love the ambiance, with soft jazz (recorded & live) & other noise well regulated. Our server was patient, humorous & provided clarity & options for dinners. The sommelier explained the wine options (especially for non-wine aficionados, like ourselves) so that we could make a choice for the table of 4. Best part, the food, as always, was delicious!

I’ve been there several times and the food is usually very very good. The only issue I had was it took them four times to get my steak right. Other than that definitely will be going back.

Seated pretty quickly; service was a little slow; menu had nice variety; calamari appetizer was skimpy, but delicious; entrees were spaghetti and meatball (1), lamb chops, and a salad - all tasty; desserts were Nutella crepe and a bread pudding - both delicious!
