News - HopCat Prepares for New Opening in Auburn Hills

HopCat, the beloved Michigan craft beer bar chain, is preparing to open its latest location at the popular Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills. Ahead of the official opening, HopCat is inviting patrons to join in a unique opportunity to support the community and their employees through a special benefit event. Set for Saturday, May 2, the soft opening benefit will run from 4-10 p.m. Visitors can enjoy an exclusive first taste of the new venue by donating $15 to enter, which includes a complimentary meal. All proceeds from this event will directly support the HopCat Employee & Community Assistance Fund, a charity designed to help both employees and local residents who are facing financial difficulties. Those interested in attending can secure their spot via reservations on opentable.com. Following the preview event, the HopCat Auburn Hills will open its doors officially for a grand celebration on Saturday, May 9, beginning at 10 a.m. For those keen on being the first through the doors, special incentives await—the first 200 guests will be treated to a year's supply of HopCat's renowned Cosmick Fries. Additional branded prizes will also be available for lucky attendees. This new HopCat location promises to delight beer aficionados, boasting an impressive selection of around 40 craft beers on tap. It can host as many as 300 guests, ensuring a lively atmosphere for all beer lovers. The restaurant takes over the space previously occupied by Bar Louie, offering both the charm and comfort HopCat is famous for, within the vibrant setting of Great Lakes Crossing Outlets. Located at 4390 Baldwin Rd., Auburn Hills, this new spot is set to become a local favorite.
