HopCat Returning To Downtown Royal Oak This Winter

ROYAL OAK, MI — After closing its Royal Oak location more than two years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic, HopCat will soon open a new spot in downtown Royal Oak.

The popular pub, known for their craft beers and cosmik fries, will open sometime this winter in a new location at 430 S. Main, which is just a few blocks from its former location.

The restaurant is also looking to hire roughly 150 people, including cooks, dishwashers, servers and more. Anyone interested was encouraged to apply now online at barflyjobs.com or in person at the Detroit HopCat restaurant, 4265 Woodward.

"At HopCat, we’re always looking for enthusiastic people to join our team to help us deliver high-quality service to our guests," Barfly CEO said Ned Lidvall said. "We strive to provide the best work environment, where employees can be themselves, while fostering growth and development and giving them the opportunity to discover a long-term, rewarding career. We’re excited to return to Royal Oak and look forward to serving both returning and new guests alike."
