I first found Heorot while visiting a friend over 10 years ago and have dropped in occassionally ever since. I wondered why we were going to Muncie instead of into Indy, but once we set foot inside, I was converted. Great selection, reasonable prices and a great vibe. The only reason we didn’t drink more is simply someone had to drive home.

I was lucky and found this place last weekend. Being from Kokomo, we no longer have anywhere to go to get some good beer and a friend recommended the Heorot. I walked in and it was almost like you’re in a Norse cottage. Long wooden tables and benches, a dragon coming out of the ceiling, and very dark. It was the perfect atmosphere. As far as selection, I felt like I was walking into a specialty store in Indy. They had almost everthing I could have wanted and then some. After drinking a few of my favorites, I took home a bottle of Dark Horizon. It was $30.00, but I’m sure it will be well worth it this fall. I will surely return!

Why in the hell is this place in the middle of Muncie, Indiana, is my question. But, with superb selection of all types in bottles and over 50 on tap, I’ll take it. THe pizza is excellent and affordable at $4.50 and it fills you up. They are always moving new stuff in and getting old beer out. Great place if you love beer and are in the area.

If you are a Beer Junky like me this place is Heaven. This is the only place in Indiana I know of that has the full line-up of Trappist Abbey Ales and also every local brewery is represented. 3 Floyds- Upland-Stone-Rogue DogFishhead-Chimay-Orval-Duvel- German Lagers- Stouts-Porters -Wits Its the Holy Grail of a beer Bar and I highly recommend it.

I believe I described the atmosphere to one of my friends as ’fuzzy.’ That doesn’t exactly mean that it’s a soft and cuddly bar. It’s a little rough on the edges if anything with large wooden tavern benches and tables, a dragon curling in and out of the wall, and an assortment of other random decor including a picture of two wolves that look much like the owner’s dog that can sometimes be seen around the joint. What I mean by fuzzy is that it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, in part because of the wide selection of hefty beers and in part because of the large tables that allow for lots of friends including the ones you meet there by sharing a table. One of the bonuses of frequenting this bar is getting your name on it. If you consume 100 different beers in six months at the Herot, you get a plaque with your name, a catch phrase of your choice, and the date you completed the 100 beer challenge on the bar. The service is best if you are a regular here. I think the first couple times I came in, I didn’t get as much heed as later visits. The food is typical bar food, not amazing, but definately cheap with a $1 special on pizzas once a week. Definately a place to go.

An absolute must if you are traveling through or near Muncie. This pub has an great selection, however, several taps were blown. Several Belgians were present including Delerium Tremens and Nocturnum (sp?), Piraat, a couple of 3Floyds, DFH, and many Indiana brews. The bottle selection was immense, the waitress was friendly, the Scotch eggs were delicious, the pizza was average, the outside seating area was nice. Great coffee shop across the street as well. Well worth it.

Great memories from my BSU days! Nice change of scene from crappy bars near campus. Need to go again because I have only tried of few of the beers from the selection

Ambiance is perfect. Music comes from the jukebox which is never too loud, though some patrons’ choice of music may be atrocious. Some nights they have live music or comedians. There’s also a bookshelf near the back loaded with books, trivia cards, boardgames, etc. for your entertainment. Darts upstairs. Service is great for the amount of customers filling the place at any given time. Selection is amazing. They provide catalogs to aid the newbies and have chalkboards set up announcing new bottled and draught beers. Catalog prices and selection don’t necessarily match what they have at the moment, so be sure to ask. As for food, I’ve never eaten anything bad from there. I recommend the large, thin crust pizza for $5 - a perfect compliment to 99% of the beers they serve. Any beer-lover within 100 miles of the place should give it a go. Also, if you drink 100 different beers (they keep track) you get a nameplate directly on the bar - quite the honor in this community.

Not sure how we found out about this place, but it made for a nice last stop on the trip. Tap selection was pretty impressive for BFE Indiana. FFF Resplendance, some SN Celebration, and some other pretty good stuff. My high light though was definitely the bottle selection, as I sipped on some beers that normally would only be found in someone’s cellar in Michigan. They even let you buy these up for take home. It was great. Food was so so, the Garlic Cheese bread was good, the mac and cheese that I ordered on a whim was average. Really cool setting inside with all the Viking stuff hanging on the walls. I really enjoyed the visit.

Amazing place that I had been looking forward to visiting. Tap selection was ridiculous when I was there. DFH 90 and 60, Unibroue Maudite and many others on draft. Huge bottle selection as well with possibly the cheapest price on Behemoth I’ve ever seen. The cellar is amazing and I can’t wait to go back and talk to Stan about a more extensive tour of it. All in all, good people, good service and amazing beer in a good atmosphere.
