Hopcat is definetly a bar that serves great beer and is known for that. But sometimes I would like food with my beer. I thought the options for something light were limited. The spinach salad was great but pricey at $ 9.50 but was large and tasty. I shared it with my husband although there were too many onions for... More

Although they offer food, their best feature is the beer selection. Their wait staff as well as hosts are lacking to be desired. More

A huge selection of microbrews on tap - many of them local Michigan brews. Amazingly delcious food -- there isn't anything on the menu I don't like or wouldn't order again. The crack fries are what they're known for - try them loaded! HopCat isn't known for their super speedy service, but the wait staff is excellent at helping you... More

If you enjoy slow service (20 minutes to get my check? Really? At lunch?) for good-not-great food choices and shouting to make yourself heard, go to this great downtown space for the brews. I'm probably too old and grouchy for brewpubs these days.... More

The life of a third shifter. I woke up for friday night and went here with my wife hoping to try their burger but come to find out they don't serve real food after 11pm. We could only order their crack fries or tacos. So we decided to share their delux crack fries. They were great but for $7.50 I... More

They have a great selection of beer and a staff that is knowledgeable about them. The menu is not stellar from top to bottom, but I am absolutely addicted to the choose your own mac and cheese with red peppers and chorizo sausage. More

We have been to HopCat several times over the past few years. We live in the area and my husband loves to try different beers so this place is perfect. It's almost always busy so you have to be ready for a crowd but we just stopped in with another couple on a Saturday night and we sat within 10-15... More

It was a busy St. Patricks day but we managed to get a table in the upper level overlooking the rest of the bar. We thought we might get forgotten up there but the service couldn't have been better. Some of the best service we've had anywhere! The beer selection is really excellent. Lots on tap and in bottles. We... More
