Heorot

My home away from home. I love this place. Beer selection and prices can't be beat.

One complaint: They turned the lights on.The Heorot is the place to be in Muncie. It's the best bar, by far, for beer and conversation. I would go here at least a few times a week while in College. Any time I am in Muncie, I visit the Heorot. It was the only place that served my German beer, on tap, and at cost. The prices could not be beat. The prices still remain lower than ANY place I have ever been to in the US. They have a little note-card system for tracking the number of unique beers you've had. I'm happy to say some friends and I have our little golden name plates on the bar. An achievement worth more than our degrees (and still cheaper). When you saw the dragon's breathe you knew it was time to go home. This pub brought me right back to the back alley vibes of some of the oldest haunts from my time in Germany. I can't say enough good things. I know the old guard has moved on, and Guardian has taken over. I think the best thing they did was keep much the same. For anyone who has sat on the old church pews for years, I'm sure keeping things the same is exactly what they want. I love coming in and hearing a mix of Black Metal from an obscure group to the next song being Taylor Swift and everybody being on board with both. The memories made will always be part of my time in Muncie, both good and bad. The Heorot was there for both. Where else could you get a pitcher of Franziskaner for $11, hold the glass, and not be judged. Prost!

I loved the atmosphere of this establishment. I had approachable and benevolent service, a great selection of quality mead, and tasty treats, all while dancing among the gods in this royal presence.

Guessing this is a local hangout by the many stares we received walking in the door. Mid-evil themed, old school bar with an interesting vibe. We seated ourselves in the back next to an ancient looking piano. Bartender/waitress greeted us and handed us drink menus, telling us "we don't have a menu for food because we only serve pizza...and we currently have limited toppings" (listing what I would say are the least popular toppings on any pizza). So we decided to simply have a round of drinks. A friendly old local (and bar fly) who just might've been there all day appeared at our table and asked if we minded if he played the piano. He had a schtick he'd obviously used many times before, but it was charming and he could in fact tickle the ivory rather well. Another old codger sat down for a rather quick Mozart piece before making his own exit. It made for an interesting evening for sure...

I really enjoyed this Irish Pub. Music wasn't playing but the bartender offered to play music if we wanted. She suggested beers, food, and mixed drinks. Also allowed me to try substitutions at no extra cost. Tonight there was Bruce's Famous Pizza available and it did not disappoint. We tried both the thin crust and Detroit Deep dish. Both pizzas were simple, delicious, and a great price. I think my husband and I found our go to bar!

The Heorot is my favorite place in Muncie to go and I know it would stand up against any beer bar in the state. The bartenders are FANTASTIC. The first time I walked in there, I was overwhelmed by the idea of knowing nothing about beer. They are happy to explain anything to you and will help you find what you like! You can get some awesome beer and food and still cash out for 20 bucks. I always leave with a smile on my face.

My husband and I wandered in here thinking it might be a brew pub. It's not, but they have a fine selection of taps, a unique atmosphere, friendly service (thanks Chad!), and an unexpectedly perfect deep dish pizza, courtesy of Bruce's Pizza. We will definitely be back!

I'm biased, because I met my husband here, but I love the Heorot! I think it is such a unique pub for Muncie (and anywhere for that matter). My absolute favorite is the Chocolate Raspberry wine which I can never find anywhere else. When I was in grad school at Ball State, my cohort and I would come here often for a few drinks and to get away from campus!

The bartenders are awful! They take way too long to acknowledge your presence! They're rude! The drinks are watered down.

Man with tattoos and long hair was extremely rude and disrespectful. Made myself and a group of young girls so uncomfortable while he was off duty. The next night we were hoping to have a better bartender and experience and he was still there and came at me and my friends even harder and screamed profanities at us, refusing to give us service after his own mistake. Won't be giving this place the time of day again.
