Ranked as one of the nation's best beer bars, HopCat draws beer fans young and old. They pack the vintage wood tables in the low-lit room, knocking back craft brews from the 49 taps and 250-strong bottle list. When hunger strikes, 'cosmik' fries do the trick; the beer-battered beauties are sprinkled with an addictive, secret-recipe seasoning.
This location is the original HopCat. It has since morphed into a regional chain with several outposts throughout the Midwest.
