About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Great for craft beers
Opened on December 13, 2014 (yes, 12/13/14!) in a historic building at the corner of Woodward and Canfield. The Huma Room on the second floor features half of a black 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood mounted behind the wall and an outdoor patio. Located on Woodward Ave, it's easy to jump on the QLine or walk down to Little Caesars Arena, Comerica Park, or Ford Field.

HopCat was founded on the principles of bringing local craft beer a bit closer to the communities we love. 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 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.

    Beer bar with a better-than-expected menu. Crowded at brunch time, but not too noisy and we were seated immediately. Server accommodated our request for quick service and to-go boxes as we were pressed for time. Definitely want to go back and sample the extensive beer menu.

    Great experience. Our server was Sarah who was great. They brought out a salad that wasn’t what we ordered but she quickly replaced it with the correct salad.

    Horrible service. Horrible staff, racist manager with a horrible negative attitude. Negligent waiter, discrminatory racist atmosphere and this place needs to be removed and the entire staff needs to be fired. They acted like they never received my reservation and were difficult about seating the party I was with. This had happened on multiple occasions. I've never seen it experienced anything like this from any establishment. The racism is completely obvious and I've got BAD news for the owners of hopcat detroit, you've picked the wrong place for your business if you're going to have the audacity to do it up with racist workers. This is not going to turn out in your favor! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME WITH THIS PLACE!
