Not a chain, but there are two Heroes locations and they’ve opened smaller versions, albeit more milder, under the name Roscoe’s Deli. THIRSTY Thursday is their motto for the fourth day of the work week, but go in thirsty all the time because the beers are served in two sizes; large and larger. That makes sense because the plates come piled with oversized portions of lunch or dinner.
The draft list can take awhile to read, the Fullerton location has 119 beers on tap. I can’t say if that holds true at the Heroes in Claremont or the Roscoe’s in Chino Hills – I knew which beer I wanted and didn’t need to see a list. I can say that the sizes remain consistent at all locations. Heroes Fullerton moved to a bigger location a few years ago, but all else remains the same, bags of peanuts at each table and the shells you send to the floor. There’s plenty of things to look at nailed to the walls, and a good view of a TV from any table. That works out just fine as it takes awhile to put away a couple beers.
