LIVONIA, Mich. – A new HopCat restaurant is opening in Livonia.

The 9,200-square-foot restaurant and beer bar is located at 17800 Haggerty Road. It will open to the public at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 24. HopCat has 50 taps of curated local craft beer, a comfort food menu, and its famous Cosmik Fries.

A public grand opening celebration is set for 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 29. The first 100 guests in line on Saturday will receive free Cosmik Fries for one year. Lunch and dinner dine-in guests will get special gifts while supplies last.

“Livonia’s thriving suburban community is the perfect fit for HopCat’s food- and bar-forward approach to dining,” said Project BarFly CEO Ned Lidvall. “The size and open layout of our new location is not only ideal for showcasing our wide range of food and beverage offerings, but also for creating an exceptional, inviting atmosphere for our guests. We’re confident our new Livonia home will be a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.”

The first 100 people in line at the new Livonia HopCat restaurant on Saturday, July 29, will receive free Cosmik Fries for one year.

The restaurant can fit 287 people and has two indoor dining areas with high-top and low-top tables, booths, a private event space, and a game room. A repurposed lazy Susan table from the Claddagh Irish Pub will seat up to 12 guests.

There are two patios, one with a fire pit, that can seat a total of 48 people outside during the warmer months.

“I’m honored to be back in my hometown of Livonia helping to launch our very own HopCat location,” said David Summers, HopCat Livonia General Manager. Summers has worked for HopCat for six years, most recently as the Assistant General Manager of HopCat’s Royal Oak location. “We’ve put together a dynamic and passionate team of one hundred staff members who are ready to carry forward the mission of this incredible brand. We want this opening to be something special.”
