We've created a funky environment filled with unique art that pays homage to the city's more psychedelic side. 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.

    Been here before but tonight was awful. Restaurant wasn’t busy. Took almost an hour to get food. Burgers were cold and meat was almost raw. Manager did take them off the bill and offered to make more, but who has like 3 hours for dinner! Will stick to going to Livonia location.

    While my party knew HopCat had an extended wait time, we ended up waiting a total of 85 minutes for our food. Not only was our food relatively average for HopCat standards, but also cold. For one of our party members, their lemon slice included with their fish was about as warm as the fish itself; my chicken had waited so long it was dry by the time I had it. Our service, in contrast, was acceptable, with little to comment on. Overall a very disappointing experience for a large party when we've had good small-table experiences before.

    Very slow service, bar and kitchen. Manager jumped in to serve our table! She was awesome! But almost missed our 7:00 show at the Michigan Theater because despite ordering at 5:50 the food did not arrive at our table until 6:45. This is a great local bar and restaurant IF you are not in a hurry. 55 minutes to get food is unacceptable.

    Not the best experience at all. It took more than an hour to get our food. We watched other people get their food rouse who came after we did. We were advised they were wait a grilled cheese sandwich and a chicken bowl. Once I get the chicken bowl , it was cold along with the soup. The manager Devin did discount our food, but the experience wasn’t the best.

    Service was terrible, almost nonexistent. Didn’t get anyone to come to our table for the first 20 minutes. Our drinks came late. Food came late. The drinks we ordered the second time came extra late. It took us two hours to have dinner. We were trying to catch a show. Do not recommend.

    We were seated at our table at 6pm. We ordered right away since we had 7:30 show tickets. Our food never came till 7:10. Our waitress kept saying it would be out soon. Needless to say, we gulped down a few bits then had to leave. Very poor experience.

    Had dinner here on a Friday night of a football weekend, so place was packed. Party of 3 - we all had burgers, fries and a side. Really good food and service was quick, even with the large crowd. Will definitely come back - good spot in Ann Arbor.

    Watch out! Understaffed. Not our servers fault but it took 20 minutes to get a draft, a can, and a cocktail from the time we ordered. Rest of experience was good.
