Their crack fries has perfect crispy texture. But it too salty for me that I could not eat up all. Their local beer selection is awesome. This place is usually too crowded and busy.
One of my favorite spots in GR. Great atmosphere, great beer selection and the food is fantastic. That combination makes it busy during peak times, well worth it
This Grand Rapids pub was voted “3rd Best Beer Bar in the World” by Beer Advocate, and “Best Brew Pub in the US” by RateBeer. With 48 craft beers on tap and a full food menu. - © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc
I had the fish and chips.Excellent!The crack fries are delicious, but were just a tad too salty for me.Our server was very knowledgable and I left it up to him what beer to serve me, chose well .
Amazing beer selection . Bummed the Crack fries were so salty they burned my mouth since they are so highly rated - but the pretzel nuggets were great and the house beer cheese sauce was really good.
A nice pub location downtown with a good food menu. I was a little underwhelmed by the venue because I have been to the Detroit location, which is stellar!!! An ok selection of beer , but not fabulous.
Chicken salad wrap and Blanche de Bruxelles. We went for a low key 10 year anniversary... The staff def shocked us with a generous surprise on our bill and the food and beer was our fave in town !!!yay
The original HopCat. Brews their own beer on site but also offers a large selection of craft beers with many local selections. Offers 5 ounce pours to create your own flight.
The “crack fries ” at this Grand Rapids institution were so popular that they’re now franchised all over the Midwest. So what’s the secret? Beer batter and an assertive, peppery seasoning. Read more
The loaded crack fries with vegetarian chili were truly addicting. It was really fun to try different beers from all of the beer state at one place!
the crack fries are definitely amazing. i tried their chicken tacos , but they were the driest tacos i have ever had. swapped it for some veggie chili which was so much better.
Refinished brick walls are just the start of the industrial ambiance, finished off with paintings on the ceiling. These subtle touches make for an extremely unique and intimate bar experience. Read more
Food is so good. Had Rosemary Chicken Salad wrap with bacon , grapes , onion ...so fresh. "Crack" fries good but can't eat too many=salty.dessert , ice cream sandwich with two pumpkin cookies .yum
Burger and beer for $6 weekdays from 4-6pm are key. The burger is great, the crack fries are addictive, and the MI beer is thirst quenching.
The house American IPA , the "Beer Right Meow" is delicious.
Order the "Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich " Tender pulled pork shoulder in spicy house-made golden BBQ sauce on a toasted brioche bun with Swiss cheese . Served with a side of house made coleslaw .
The crack fries are to die for... A must try and if you don't know what kind of beer your want you can always ask to sample it!
They are hoarding the smores and other fall beers until other establishments run out. This makes me very sad. Try the 5th voyage coconut porter - it's bound to put a smile on your face .
Pretzel nuggz were delicious, the Reuben Kincaid had amazing flavor and the beer selection was perfect. Found 4 new favorites.
Fair share of craft brews as well as some of their own. Their summer beer - Lime Cucumber Ale was incredibly refreshing.
If the weather permits, sit outside. The patio is inviting. Come between 4pm and 6pm for the great burger and beer deal.
This place can really get packed! But if you can find a seat, please order the crack fries . Yes, they're overly-hyped, however, they are very good.
Love love livw. They make great beers and feature tons more. Crack fries are so good! Will be back soon!
Fish tacos on the late night menu are sick! Blackened tilapia . Avocado on the side. Lava sauce , on the side, is lethal.
Okay, for all of you--but especially if this is your first visit to HopCat: Explore HopCat's own in-house-brewed beers , along with their exemplary tap and bottle list. Do it.
Has awesome food and beer . Try the spicy BBQ pulled pork sandwich or the killer Mac & Cheese the next time you are here. Love them both and has great service
Beer obviously. Foods good. Nice little outdoor porch . Took the kids and they loved.
You can't beat the happy hour deal . $5 off sandwiches and something like $3.50 wells and local beer list . 3-6pm mon-thur.
When you go downtown Grand Rapids, stop and get the crack fries ! A craft beer goes well with them!

Try a new beer (they have a ton) and you HAVE TO try some food (especially crack fries !)
The grande Royale is sloppy joe on top of crack fries . It's delicious!

Amazing beer selection ! The Bar Zee is a delicious burger....and the Grandwich is pretty good as well ...cheese on anything is delicious!
Enjoyed the beer selection , veggie chili and killer mac & cheese (with bacon & basil ).
The crack fries might actually have crack in them but the beer selection is so good it doesn't matter
It's rated well and the crowds are testimony. Get there early, but sit at communal tables for best experience.
Burgers are great...fries were a little salty, so if you don’t love really salty fries be sure to ask for them not to add any! - James Rider
Good food with a decent draft beer selection. Good service. - George Reed
tons of outdoor seating. open fire pits in winter. excellent beer! - Benjamin Doyle
Great bar food. Great drink selection. Great video games in the back. Great times. - Ryan Sciaino
Gardellas is definitely one of my favorite bars within Grand Rapids. There is never a cover charge, it has 3 levels to it, and each level has a different bar/vibe! It's like 3 bars in one! ???? - Patrick Jamar
Excellent concert venue. Great for seating or GA/Pit options. - Benjamin Knizacky
