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

    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!

    Thanks so much for visiting Erika! We hope to see you again soon!

    the food was cold when brought to me.. then i was told a fresh one would be made.. i had the king waffle. so when i recieved my second one it was rubbery still wasn’t hot but at least it was warm. the only thing good about it was the bananas. my sister in law and i wanted coffee was told they only had cold ice coffee then about 20 min later seen another lady get served HOT regular coffee. the waitress was nice.. but i will never eat there again

    Cool, eclectic environment. Excellent service. The food was very good, The only thing I would have changed is for burger not to be well done.. but the burger toppings were excellent, and the sides. Bf had chicken tacos which he enjoyed. Nice selection of ciders and cocktails, we each had one. There's also a 'build your own' old fashioned which is a cool idea, definitely doing that next time.

    We're so glad you had a good time Bon! Hope to see you again soon!

    Great grilled cheese with apple slices in the middle and the build your own old fashioned is so much fun! Service was fantastic. Great way to start our evening before a NE volleyball game. Highly recommend!
    HopCat - Lincoln, NEResponded on September 29, 2024
    Thank you so much for the kind words Lori! We are big fans of the grilled cheese too! We hope to see you before another game soon! GBR!

    Service was a little slow. Food was good! Server forgot one of the three sides I ordered. Also forgot my friend’s drink she ordered. Separate checks were done incorrectly. Overall it was a nice evening with just a few hiccups.
