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.

This was a great experience all the way through. It was easy to make a resy and it just kept on getting better. We had the salmon puff pastry, whitefish, pasta, Caesar salad and French Onion Soup. They were all 10's. Our server was perfect, not too attentive, just attentive enough. Our table was such that it felt like we had our own booth. It was easy to talk even though we were fairly close to the wonderful musician.

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!
