Heroes Pub

Good beer selection, solid bar food fare, good atmosphere, but real reason to go is the wings. Fantastic wings! Particularly the Old Bay wings.

We go here all the time and really enjoy it. The staff are over the top nice. Really disappointed to read negative review of the manager from a previous poster but then read some of his other posts and see he is a serial complainer. Guessing the argument over $ 2 also involved splitting a check 24 ways.
But back to Heroes, a nice local pub with great beer, great pub food, and a nice local atmosphere. Not recommended for kids or soccer parties…

Everything was going fine, food was okay nothing special. When inquiring about the check, the waiter/​manager became very rude. In fact he said FU to one of our guests all over a $ 2 discrepancy of 2 wing flavors. Ridiculous for a manager to act worse than a teenager. Hero’s lost 24 customers tonight, not counting our friends.

Fun bar with great authentic Maryland food. Definitely a local bar, full of good food, good music, and a great atmosphere. Loved the jerk chicken soup, I’ve never had anything like it. Friends have been going here for decades, raving about the wings. While I am not one for wings, I have to admit, they were quite tasty. Parking is not too bad, unless it’s happy hour. A great kids restaurant before happy hour, and before 9 o’clock. I heard live bands play there, as there is room for one, but I’ve never personally go. As a local, I choose Heros as my go to bar.

Love this place! We’ve been here a bunch of times with just my wife and I, with family and with friends.
It’s a really casual environment to come and have a drink. Their extensive beer list that they have on tap is really a plus and their boneless wings are really good!
Service is great! The only downside is that it is a small restaurant which means limited space and tables so don’t be surprised if you have a little wait.

Best local bar in Annapolis. Great beer selection, friendly staff and always a good vibe. Best wings in Annapolis.

One of the best Club Sandwiches you can get in MD. Beer list is awesome. Girlfriend likes the Turkey Rachel.
Bar has a nice feel to it, plenty of TVs for sports viewing.

Saturday Night. Had sandwiches and beers. Food was OK but nothing special, this is a pretty nice place, mix of families and adult couples in the night we were there. I would call it a solid local bar, nothing fancy or special.

I love having Heroes so close to my work! Its a great place to have lunch and everyone I have taken there enjoys it. My go to it the buffalo chicken sandwich.

Heroes has pretty great food! I’ve been a couple of times and haven’t been disappointed yet. The crab cakes are good, the fried clams are done just right, their buffalo chicken tenders are great, and the time I went and they had seafood chowder? That was the absolute best thing I’ve had there. I would get that again in a heartbeat.
Casual place with pretty fun atmosphere, genuinely a good time.

This bar is a true diamond in the rough! The closest bar to me in Annapolis and, it took me two years to try it and, boy was I missing out!
GREAT draft beer selection that just goes on for days, the food is standard bar fare with specials that can really shine. I personally love the reuben very well execution and awesome bread!
The place is oddly great for a family to come down for lunch or dinner just as much for someone to hang out with their drinking buddies all for a very reasonable price and, pretty darn good service!
Overall I am a big fan of my new GO TO bar!
Cheers.

Fun, divey bar with police and fireman memorabilia all over the place. Seemed like a good place to come for happy hour. Came on a weekend night and it was slower than normal and had a great time. Lots of room inside and typical pub food offerings. Lots of beers on draft– good selection.

Heroes Pub has been a family favorite for many years. When I ask «where should we go for a bit to eat» Heroes is alway on the list ! The food is always great. I have eaten just about everything on the menu and love it all. Heroes is a neighborhood pub in the true sense. I hesitate to say to many nice things about the place because I don’t want the downtown Annapolis crowd to invade.
To sum it up:
Great bar/​pub food (you can even eat healthy here)
Neighborhood pub atmosphere
Kid friendly
Large draft beer selection
I highly recommend the wings, steamed shrimp, steamed muscles, burgers, rueben.

I highly recommend the Chicken Chesapeake sandwich! It’s the best item on the menu and it is only $ 10.

It’s a 5 star bar with a top-​notch beer selection. Fast and friendly staff — always feel welcome and staff started to learn my beer favorites — I’m an IPA guy and the Big Eye is fabulous. Sandwiches are nothing special but the nachos are my go-​to.
Always try to go only at happy hour 4 – 7 as the price goes from $ 6 down to $ 4 for domestic craft drafts. Usually have some other good beer deals.
Strange thing is that no matter how packed the parking lot is there is always a place to sit.

Wide beer selection with delicious pub food. Easy seating with a nice staff. They have great specials and even a SATURDAY HAPPY HOUR! This place is worth going to and off the beaten path. It’s nice to finally enjoy a bar in Annapolis and not be bum rushed by tourists or college kids.
Worth it.

Be a hero
Feeling like a hero because I drove all the way from Stafford VA to Annapolis to pick up an antique head board for my decorating obsessed wife… I see this joint.
Like the antique shop down the street, this place is out of the way and most folks wouldn’t know it was here. This is a cop/​fireman pub/​grill and the décor says it loud and clear… even the fire engine parked out front makes a statement.
I walk in and belly up to the bar (needing a drink after seeing what my wife paid for an old beat up head board), 51 taps on the wall…51…I counted twice. Honey doo list be damned for the rest of the day. Grabbed a shrimp salad sandwich which was in the game and saw a number of other menu selections that looked unique and appetizing. I want to try the grilled chicken topped with cheese and crab dip next time (there will be a next time because I’m sure there is a $ 300 antique bed pan that goes with the headboard in that shop next door).
Bottom line: PSA: turn down that F’ Da Police CD by NWA as you pull into the lot or you will probably learn to drink a beer with 2 broken arms… just saying.

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 décor 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. 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 karaōke night (Karaōke 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.

Come here often for the wings– which are so good. We always get the old bay rub. Lots of choices of beer on tap. Everything we have tried off the menu has been great! Prices are affordable. Place is Always busy when we come, and the service is very fast.

It’s a typical bar. The Heroes refers to all the local firemen, police, etc, materials that adorn the walls and it feels like the sort of place where cops would come and hang out after work. Not too nice, not pretty at all but a good hang-​out place. My guy friends love the place.
I’m not really a fan though. The food is typical bar food — french fries are probably the best thing I’ve had there and that’s only because the other stuff really isn’t good. There’s a veggie burger (which I haven’t tried) but not many other veggie options. I’ve had the crabcake sandwich — which tasted like cardboard, and the mussels, which were on special but not that good (and didn’t come with fries? — I thought that was pretty standard?).
As for trivia, which was the real reason I came — it has been pretty disappointing. I’ve played trivia here three times. One time, the trivia guy read directly from the Trivial Pursuit cards and didn’t even change the category names (People and Places, anyone?). Another time they did some wacky music trivia category where they played 10 seconds of a song and you had to identify it. Another trivia category was local brewed beers. And their trivia night — Thursday — went on well past 11PM. On the plus side, they do have a TV screen that displays the trivia scores and they give $ 25 gift certificates to the winners.
I’m on the hunt for a trivia location — but this isn’t it. Not for me. Given the sad state of the food, and the blah trivia categories, not my favorite trivia location.
