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 want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail.

    Great choice. Bowdies or Capital is always a debate in Lansing but Capital edged them out in this case. Meting our son’s new girlfriend for the first time so it was a semi special event. Waiters gave us enough space to talk without constant intrusion and lessened the nerves all around. Enough menu choices for the girlfriend to not have to get the most expensive steak. Son got his 60 pound ribeye so he was thrilled. Apparently grad students are like hummingbirds consuming their weight in calories daily. My wife loved the perfectly prepared filet and the espresso martini’s and I savored my one glass of the house Cabernet (designated driver). Overall great food, exemplary service, great atmosphere and though expensive, was still a value for the experience.

    I had the ginger salmon, and it was very good. We also ordered some oysters as an appetizer and they were small and just okay. Was disappointed as we were there a few years ago and they were fantastic,don’t know what they changed but I won’t have them again. Service was great, our waitress was timely and friendly.

    The chicken sandwich was like no other chicken sandwich I've ever had. The combination of a classic chicken sandwich with an Asian twist was amazing. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had!
