The hiring center is open for walk-in, on-the-spot interviews from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Applicants can walk in with a resume for an on-the-spot interview.
When it opens at 11 a.m. May 20, the completely renovated building at 208 5th Avenue, will feature 100 carefully selected Michigan craft beers, a full menu of scratch- made food, a rooftop deck and bar, and a private dining room and bar.
The first 200 people in the door that day will receive a card good for a free order of HopCat’s award-winning Crack Fries every week for a year. Free orders of these famous fries will be available throughout the day to all who visit.
A special opening day tap list is being prepared that will feature seasonal, rare beers from breweries throughout southeastern Michigan.
HopCat – Royal Oak will be the sixth Michigan location for the award-winning restaurant and bar, which has been named a top beer bar in the nation by CraftBeer.com and Draft Magazine, among others.
Extensive renovations by HopCat and building owners are expected to result in an investment of more than $2.5 million. While Royal Oak will be the 13th HopCat location, it will feature a unique interior and rooftop design that includes custom-commissioned artwork and a few surprises.
“Although I'm from Grand Rapids, I've hung out with friends in Royal Oak more times than I can count,” said Mark Sellers, founder of HopCat. “I've always loved it, and I'm hopeful our newest, shiniest HopCat will add to the vibrant scene there. We spent a lot of time designing this one - there's nothing else like it in Royal Oak.”
HopCat’s full menu, available until closing every night, includes signature burgers, Detroit-style pizza, homemade soups and salads, a variety of shareables and entrees like customizable Killer Mac & Cheese.
HopCat – Royal Oak also will bring BarFly Ventures’ industry-leading waste reduction program to Royal Oak. The program has a goal of composting or recycling 90 percent or more of the waste generated at BarFly Ventures restaurants. In addition to draft beers and ciders, HopCat offers a selection of Belgian and specialty bottled beers, signature cocktails and a full bar.
