Our first foray into Nebraska is located near the Pinnacle Bank Arena in West Haymarket. We're not a sports bar, but we love sports. Want to watch the game? We've got you covered with 52-inch TVs viewable from most seats. Don't want to watch the game? That's cool too. We keep our music on (almost) all the time. Husker games are the big exception to that rule.

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

Ordered two appetizers, Elote Dip and Boneless wings. The dip was cold and had settled. The wings were lukewarm and had very little taste. Service was ok, but did not take empty glasses or the dip thar sat in front of us for over 30 minutes. We enjoy Hop Cat, but this visit was subpar.
HopCat - Lincoln, NEResponded on January 2, 2025
Hey Bill! Thanks for the 'would recommend' review, but we agree, sounds like we missed a few marks! Let us know next time you're in and we will make sure to make this right for you! Thanks again, happy new year!

Sort of at a loss for words here, other than to say service is poor and with attitude. If you desire to be subtly mocked this is your place. Food was very late in coming but it was “okay”.
HopCat - Lincoln, NEResponded on January 9, 2025
Hi Kevin, we'd love to hear more about your poor experience as this is certainly not our standard. Please reach out via our website and provide more details so we can pinpoint this issue and hopefully make it right for you.

Fantastic Experience! We will bring out training group next month as well. We appreciate the large farm style tables for when our group is larger.

Great experience overall! Really good food, service was great, and it was close to PBA for the game. A little on the expensive side but we don't go out often. Fun to see volleyball on TV as well as football!
HopCat - Lincoln, NEResponded on November 11, 2024
Thanks so much for visiting Erika! We hope to see you again soon!
