I'm surprised I'm just now reviewing this place, I've been coming here for years. I avoid downtown Annapolis like a midshipmen avoids grass stains; whenever my annapolitan friends want to go out I beg them to go to Heroes instead of DTA ("downtown annapolis" for those unfamiliar).
Flatscreens are always flickering with varying sportsball games. You know, this place I thought was a firefighter/police bar, and the decor speaks to that, I don't know if I've ever met a "hero" there though, that may be false advertising. I can't say, I'm not a lawyer . That's besides the point, what about the grub and sippy sippys?
I have never had bad food here, but I've also always been drunk here. I always get the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and cheddar, I have eaten that sober as well and enjoyed it only 5% less. I really like the wings too, they're greasy and delicious.
There is an expansive selection of draft beers and other liquids to boost morale. Â Beer prices can be steep if you order one of the specialty ones.
Service can be slow at times, but the staff is always pleasant. There is a trivia night, live music, and a karaoke night (Karaoke Tuesday: Wait for the guy that constantly performs a painful rendition of Spandau Ballet: "I know this much is true". Reason #6 to visit this place).
I'd say if you want to get away from the trendy atmosphere of downtown, go find this little gem off the beaten path.
There are much better places for happy hour than here. $1 off drafts that are normally priced at $6? Not so great. Also, we ordered the chicken strips that were supposed to be a happy hour special of $5 but were told when the bill came it was actually "buffalo" chicken strips on sale. Regular ones were $8. It does have a nice selection of draft beers but there are equivalent places in town that don't charge as much.
