About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
Opened on December 13, 2014 (yes, 12/13/14!) in a historic building at the corner of Woodward and Canfield. The Huma Room on the second floor features half of a black 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood mounted behind the wall and an outdoor patio. Located on Woodward Ave, it's easy to jump on the QLine or walk down to Little Caesars Arena, Comerica Park, or Ford Field.

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.

    Host helped push our reservation back by 30 min. That was appreciated. Cobb salad was good. Reuben was so so. Cocktails and beer good.

    I came here for my birthday last Friday with a group of friends. We had all just arrived in town and wanted to feast and celebrate before kicking off our Movement weekend. Our reservation was originally for 10 people but we ended up having a few more guests. It was crowded and busy due to a Tigers game. But the staff was very accommodating. As soon as some tables cleared they were able to connect more for our group. Despite how busy it was everyone had a good time. The food was excellent and the staff was amazing. It was a little chaotic in the beginning but everything ended up working out, and we couldn't have been happier. And the professionalism and hospitality we saw from the staff was top notch. Thank you Hopcat for hosting a memorable birthday party. We really appreciated your service. We will be back again!

    Beer bar with a better-than-expected menu. Crowded at brunch time, but not too noisy and we were seated immediately. Server accommodated our request for quick service and to-go boxes as we were pressed for time. Definitely want to go back and sample the extensive beer menu.
