About this restaurant

Gluten-free-friendly
Good for groups
Vegetarian-friendly

We've created a funky environment filled with unique art that pays homage to the city's more psychedelic side. It's completely different from the other HopCat locations -- big enough, but with an intimate vibe. 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.

HopCat in Ann Arbor delivers a fantastic dining experience with both flair and flavor. From the moment you walk in, the décor stands out— unique trendy, and artistically inspired without feeling overdone. It sets a lively, creative tone that fits perfectly in a college town. The food does not disappoint. I ordered the Hangover Helper (sunrise-style cheeseburger), and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. The runny egg, melty cheese, and seasoned beef patty all came together in a flavor-packed bite that truly hits the spot. The Lobster Mac was another standout. Creamy, rich, and filled with tender lobster, it was indulgent without being overwhelming. Every bite felt like comfort food elevated with a touch of elegance. Overall, HopCat is a great spot for anyone looking for a bold, flavorful meal in a vibrant setting. Highly recommended!

A bit noisy. Food is so so. And it’s not the best beer selection for a restaurant oriented to beer drinkers.

It was very empty when we arrived. It took our server 20 minutes to get our drinks. Once they were dropped off, the server spilt beer all over my pants and the table and walked away. Didn’t even apologize or bring napkins back. I had to walk up to the bar to grab napkins (thankfully the bartender was helpful). Each time we ordered a drink after, we had to wait forever to get it. Our server was just at the back table hanging out with other servers. We got our food and had no silverware so we asked for some. Our server came back without the silverware and told us the manager was rolling silverware for us. We look over and the server and multiple other servers are just talking. It took 15 minutes for the silverware. We also asked for separate bills when we sat down. Our bills arrived and nothing was correct. We didn’t even ask the server to fix them because we knew it would take them 30 minutes to come back. Overall the food was great but the worst service we’ve ever had.

Service was horrible, not enough staff. Two people of our party did not get their meals until after everyone was done eating. No refills on water until we we're finished eating, so we ate dry. Had to reorder our cocktails a few times, before they were brought to us. Not our waitress fault, she was slammed in her area, with no assistance.

Our waiter was great and attentive. It seemed there was a disconnect from the staff delivering the food to the table and the waiter. We waited almost 45minutes from ordering until we got our food. When we finally did, the food was like warm at best. We asked for one item to be removed as it was an ice cold waffle. All other meals were fine when we boxed it up and took it home to heat up.
