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 atmosphere was clean and fun in spirit. Server was friendly and conscientious. Menu had a great variety including vegetarian options other than a salad! I would consider it elevated bar food. The food came out fresh and tasted great!We were celebrating a MSU student birthday. We received a free dessert of his choice. The cookie dough cheesecake tasted fantastic!

Our second ever HopCat location opened back in 2013! Located right outside of Michigan State University's campus and around the corner from the MSU Union, this location features multiple TVs to make sure you’ll have the best seat in the house to catch the Spartans.
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.
We now offer private catering! We make it easy to plan your next event with online ordering. Place your order directly at https://www.ezcater.com/catering/hopcat-east-lansing<br />

We had a great experience at Hop Cat. The atmosphere was clean and fun in spirit. Server was friendly and conscientious. Menu had a great variety including vegetarian options other than a salad! I would consider it elevated bar food. The food came out fresh and tasted great!We were celebrating a MSU student birthday. We received a free dessert of his choice. The cookie dough cheesecake tasted fantastic! We will be back.
