A beer lovers must. | 80 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 14/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 15/20 Blairgus (72) California | August 19, 2011 great tap selection! 50+ beers on tap, most of them american craft. prices were about $8 a beer so that’s a bit high but it was nice | 68 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 11/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 13/20 Dogbrick (561) Columbus, Ohio | June 1, 2011 (Visited 08/2010): Heroes is located on the main drag in Fullerton on Harbor/Sante Fe. There is parking on the street throughout the area.
The space is fairly large with lots of high tables and the bar near one entrance. Table seating is more prevalent near the other entrance. The bar boasts a huge mirror and there are bison heads along with a clear view of all the taps. There are peanut shells everywhere as they are passed out to all patrons. In addition there is a beer menu available.
As for the taps, there are at least 100 which is amazing. However on closer inspection more than half are macros or common brews. Still there are plenty of gems including New Belgium, Pyramid, Stone, The Bruery, Bootlegger, Karl Strauss, Kona, Moylan’s and many more. A good amount of imports as well.
Service was good on a weekday early evening. The bartenders had a good grasp of the beer list and made other recommendations on beer spots in the area.
I did not have any food on this visit (other than peanuts).
Overall this is a good spot to hit in Fullerton. Not the best to place to go if you want to try new brews all night but worthwhile nonetheless. | 68 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 11/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 13/20 womencantsail (386) Garbage Grove, California | April 11, 2011 I have been here a few times and each time I’m reminded of why I don’t go here more often, despite the fact that it has one of the better tap lists in the area.
During the day or on a non-weekend night, it is okay. But if you’re there on a Friday or Saturday night, or even on a Thursday, it’s going to be FULL of the typically low-brow Downtown Fullerton Bar crowd.
The place itself is decorated with plenty of antique trinkets, signs, and even bicycles. Everyone is given packages of peanuts upon sitting down and throwing the shells on the floor is standard operating procedure.
The beer list is fairly large, offering a lot of Stone, some Anderson Valley, Bootleggers, Firestone, a few German beers, Chimay (Blue), and your typical Fat Tire, Sierra Nevada, Guiness, and a slew of BMC beers. Surprisingly they also have Lindeman’s Framboise and Pomme, but both are bottles only and are pricey at $9 for a 375ml bottle. They also offer a few ciders.
The service is fine. Nothing to write home about, but never bad either. The one thing I would advise against is splitting up a check if you’re with a group and everyone is paying separately. I’ve had HUGE problems with this here.
The food is your typical bar food. I generally get some sort of burger or sandwich, which are good, big and come with a ridiculously large order of fries. The sandwiches tend to be $9-12 with other dishes being the same or more expensive. | 76 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 15/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 9/10 OVERALL 13/20 andyinz (9) redlands , California | March 21, 2011 Losts of good beer on tap and there food portions are huge. It dose get a little roudy sometimes but if you want a night out without having to order a bud light its good place to go. | 72 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 14/20 ADfan (26) Orange County, California | December 28, 2010 Sat at the bar for lunch on a Tuesday when it wasn’t too busy so I had a chance to talk to the bartenders. We had some good conversation about the different beers. A lot of the usual beers on tap pretty heavy on the American side. I liked some of the seasonal"s they had available. All total about 110 - 115 on tap. | 48 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 5/10 SELECTION 7/15 FOOD 6/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 10/20 buenosdiaz (10) California | June 1, 2010 A lot of time wasted on macros here. | 62 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 4/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 9/20 Gurfunkl (17) Ontario, California | October 5, 2009 Huge selection of beers even though the staff was not very well prepared. Typical watering hole that works on quantity not quality.... | 66 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 14/20 Barreras (21) Diamond Bar, California | March 2, 2009 Friends like to go there to eat and have drinks. Food portions are big and average pub/restaurant type. Good beer selection when available. Sometimes they are out of many beers that I would like to try. Waitress service is hit or miss with beer knowledge. Overall good place to sit on a stool and drink a couple with friends. | 60 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 5/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE N/A OVERALL 10/20 thor968 (2) | November 15, 2005 Hard to rate this place when you have been to the original biulding that was all wood, and not nearly as polished. Still a great place, and you get too much food, but lost a lot of its original charm and soul when they moved from the old biulding. |
