Located in a historic train freight depot, this location features a multi-season outdoor patio, private event space, and a special installation of guitars from Kalamazoo's own Heritage Guitars. We're a short walk from Bell's, Arcadia, and other downtown breweries and beer bars in this great beer city.

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.

    The restaurant was cold inside, and most as always. Food and service were good, but I'm not sure it's worth dealing with the nose and temperature

    Food was subpar. Caesar salad was just lettuce with croutons and sparsely any chicken. Had to ask for every little thing like dressing and refills, etc. Did not enjoy the experience.

    Visited our daughter at WMU and enjoyed their brunch menu. All was delicious along with very attentive service. Being a Sunday mid-afternoon it was a quiet, calm family setting. Which I believe typically it’s a high energy tavern crowd.

    We had a great time at HopCat. Our table was ready immediately and the service was good. When my Mom didn’t like her meal (the bbq sauce was too spicy for her, but she had a low tolerance), they gladly replaced it with no issue. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. We would definitely come back! My only recommendation is to give yourself plenty of time because parking can be hard to find on the weekends

    Thank you for the positive review! We are working hard to earn 5 stars for next time.

    The HopKat was amazing! So far the best experience we have had in Kalamazoo. I would come back just for the pickle back chicken! Absolutely amazing for pickle lovers!
