Came here to watch the Dallas Stars game and it was lively. If you plan to watch the game here recommend coming right as the game starts as there is more seating available. Also, recommend to go to the back as there is a huge screen and the atmosphere was great. Service was fast, we were able to order food and drinks as soon as we were seated. We ordered the 1 lb tender basket with fries and it came with a whole flight of sauces. Solid spot to catch a game. read more

Hero is the perfect lunch date/sports watch party spot. It's extremely spacious with a large area in the back that usually has private parties. I love the BYOB; some weeks I buy them for meal prep! I love building my bowl with one of the delicious proteins: grilled/fried chicken, salmon or steak (seasoned perfectly). You get to pick 2 sides; I love the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The rice is good too! I finally had brunch and the French toast sticks were delicious and the tacos were very filling! My friend had the grits and stated "these are way better than I expected" I've always had pretty good service. Overall: 9/10 (the bowls are only available after 3pm; I wish I could get them anytime ) read more

This is such a dope place to watch games and hang out with friends. The screens are huge and there's plenty of space. The food wasn't great. I got the nachos and the cheese tasted very cheap and flavorless. I also grabbed a drink and it was quite costly. Between my fiance and I we spent like $120 for nachos and 3 drinks. Didn't feel completely worth it but what can you expect with a restaurant directly next to the AAC read more

Came here during a 2nd quarter of the mavs game, so it was very very quiet, but it makes sense-they will be busy before and after the mavs game. We were instantly served-the bartender made me a strawberry cosmo. Amazing! We sat for a few minutes and then had to run to the game before half time. This place is spacious and the bartender was so nice! The price of the drinks are high, but not as high as in the venue for the game, which is why we stopped before going to the game. This place is luxurious and sporty at the same time, it's a great place to grab drinks pre game! read more

Perfect spot to pregame before a game. Even right before game time it's never overly crowded. Typical bar food and the service is a bit slow but given the crowds that's kinda expected. Always good vibes here! read more

We went for a concert (Twice) and got there early, we got hungry and decided to see what they offered and it didn't disappoint!! We got the tender 1lb basket came with fries for both of us for $20 dollars. The food came out fast and wasn't as packed for a concert. The waitress was nice too. There's games and bowling and more. Overall had a good meal read more

I really like this bar! The ambiance is super cool for drinks and a good time for after Mavericks game hang out. The food could improve but what do you expect from bar food? The ahi tuna tostadas are pricey for only 5 pieces. The tostadas have a good crunch to it but the tuna doesn't taste super fresh. If they actually gave us like a whole plate of tostadas with said toppings it might help. The tuna needs to be swapped out for some fresh ones. We got a pound of tenders and it was good but I really like their tater tots! Was Surprise at how good the tots were! I saw someone else got the fries but they didn't look too appealing read more

I must admit, being this close to the American Airlines center I was not expecting much. But let me say that this place is great at what they do! They are the perfect place to go catch a game or pre-game before a game. The food is fantastic which really surprised me. The build your own bowl is a great deal with so many combinations. The service was great and very attentive and I felt everything was reasonably priced. I will absolutely go back! read more

Hero by HG - THE REMEDY BURGER with fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Hero by HG is a sports bar that benefits from nailing the first rule of real estate: location, location, location. Located right outside the American Airlines Center at PNC Plaza across from the statue of Dirk, Hero is a great place to go before and during a Dallas Mavericks or Stars Game. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - On game day (only time I've been), the atmosphere is electric. Fans are outside the plaza, inside the restaurant, and the doors are open to welcome you in. Inside is a sports fan's paradise. There are a plethora of flat screen TVs everywhere, tons of seating (booth/table/bar), and a cool bar with a video board that wraps around it 360 degrees. 1 Star. Service - I arrived early 5:30 (game at 7:30), and while they weren't busy, they were slow. As gametime grew closer, Hero filled up and service was even slower. The staff was super nice, just slow. 1/2 Star. Food - It's a sports bar with sports bar food. We started with the Super Bowl Nachos with ground beef. The huge portion was easily sharable within my party of three. There were generous portions of everything. But in the end, it was still just nachos. I went with the chicken strips, which were very good. The strips were a big size, were hot and juicy, and came with tasty tater tots. The tots were excellent. Not greasy, crisp on the outside and piping hot on the inside. The tots were the hit of my meal. The only negative was the pricing. There's a cost to the location (and inflation). Our meal was $90 for nachos, two sandwiches, and my chicken strips. Still - I was very satisfied with my meal. 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I wouldn't return for the food, but I would return for the atmosphere and location. Hero is right next to Dirk, the AAC, and is a great place to go if you want to soak in a full game day. 1 Star. read more

I gotta give this place 3 stars mainly because it was not clear what pricing there was for drinks and, honestly, I had no idea what my bill was going to be when I ordered unless I asked the server for pricing. I'm a big HG Supply girl so when I needed a good spot next to American Airlines this was the one to try. I ordered the friend chicken salad which was really good (not hard to expect with HG Supply) and a very tasty tipsy strawberry guava Topo drink. Our server was great, quick and always around. The mood of the place was poppin' and tons of fun. Everyone was there for the event it felt like so it was buzzing. They don't do happy hours during events FYI. In general, it was just a lot of $$ for what we got. Felt like I paid more for the location than anything else. Likely won't be back unless I go to another event or can hit them up during happy hour. The drinks were pretty much the same price of the food, which just seemed limited so it all left me going "meh". read more

I went to Hero for the Stanley Cup finals game. I will say the service could've been better, but the food was fantastic. I had a build your own bowl with grilled chicken, cilantro lime rice, and avocado with a Caesar salad, and it was amazing. The perfect place to watch a sports game. The 24 foot TV is awesome and the Jumbotron makes it feel like a real sports bar. read more

Trash food. Don't even have the prices on the menu how much anything cost right upfront you know you're getting scammed

Great for pre concert drinks and food at AAC. Very spacious and lots of different rooms, some with games. Food tastes good and the service is fast and efficient. read more

Hero by HG is a massive indoor outdoor restaurant bar venue focusing on farm fresh food and drinks. They are located off the main entrance in by the American Airlines Center. This is a perfect place to attend a d pregame before catching a Maverick game, a Stars game, or even a concert. The bar sits right in the AAC area, and you can't miss it with the big lighted signs in front of the bar. We came here before a Stars game to get some quick drinks and were serviced at the outside bar. The place was packed with Stars fans wearing their Victory Green jerseys coming in and out of the bar enjoying themselves. The service was quick and efficient, and drinks were served with a smile by the lovely bartenders. They have indoor seating inside the restaurant and bar seating as well and have a patio bar adjacent to the arena, which is great for people watching and enjoying the outdoors. The prices were decent for drinks and probably cheaper than what you would pay inside AAC. The bartenders were friendly and eager to serve you and kept the drinks coming. Im looking to come back here again and maybe try out some food off the menu and enjoy my time here before I watch another Dallas Stars game. read more

Popped in for a cocktail prior to attending the R&B Forever concert at the American Airlines Center. My choice was random as I really don't care for margaritas on the rocks. But I must say this cocktail was a treat indeed. My damage was seventeen & some change with tip my total was twenty dollars. Sports bar atmosphere, nice staff, decent looking menu with a more mature clientele. read more

Stop by here before game. After dinner at Black Tap burgers, we stopped here for a drink and was disappointed. Everything was delivered in plastic cups, including my martini. Looking around at the food, it seemed to all be deep-fried. Dining room was large and loud, including many kids. Not sure I would come back to this one. read more

I'll start with the good. Right next to American Airlines Arena & nearby hotels. Tons of tvs everywhere. Clean and nice design layout. The meh. The food was okay. The cheese fries had a queso on them that were really good so I would recommend those. The Dirty South chicken sandwich was just two chicken tenders with some honey butter and pickles on a bun. The chicken was fried OK and the honey butter was decent but not what I would consider a chicken sandwich since it was just tenders and not an actual chicken breast. The burger was OK nothing fancy just pretty much an all American burger although both tater tots for both sandwiches were fried a little bit hard. Now the bad. The service was weird. Our waitress started by demanding a card to start a tab. When I said no tab & paying, she seem to get an attitude. We had to pay for our food when we ordered it, just felt weird. We felt rushed as we were trying to watch the game as she kept trying to clear our table of food we were still eating, but never brought drink refills ‍. Other options in the area, so will not be back. read more

I was in your AAC location this evening before the Mavericks game but during the broadcast of the Cowboys game to meet some friends for drinks and snacks. While the food and service were pretty good, the volume of the televised game coverage was not only obscenely loud but very distorted. You could barely make out what the announcers were saying because it was drowned out by the crowd noise from the broadcast. It sounded like being underneath a jet airliner taking off. About the only time we could hear one another or our server was during the halftime break in the live game coverage. I simply don't see what's to be gained from having the music or game broadcasts so loud that people can't even communicate. This was not limited to the dining area. The men's room had speakers all over the place, including directly above the urinals. I've been to rock concerts that were not as ear-splitting loud. The server, who seemed similarly annoyed by the volume, mentioned that lots of people complain. She added that the owners want it that way by design and don't really care if it's bothersome to many patrons. read more

This sports bar right by the AA center is crazy. My friends and I popped in after the Dallas Stars game and got drinks while watching multiple college football games and multiple screens. It's packed, but servers manage to come and ask every table for drink orders on a consistent basis. Kudos to them. Didn't get food so can't comment on that, but this seems like the spot to be for pregame and postgame. read more

Good food and drinks. There are a lot of TVs if you want to watch the Mavericks or other sports. Also a great place for dinner before going to a game. It's a large place, with a nice patio and cool section in the back to watch the Mavericks games on the big screen. Service has never been something to hype or complain about. Pretty average, no concerns. Don't forget to see the statue of GOAT right outside. read more

So I don't give out many 5 stars. This is a great sports bar for many reasons. The location is prime!!!! Right by AAC. The service is pretty quick even when busy. The place is HUGE so usually no waits. The food is solid even for bar food. It's a great place to watch a game....tvs and screens all over the place. Finally, things are a bit pricey but reasonable considering all the other factors. This is our goto place for any events in the area. Tonight we saw Trans Siberian Orchestra at AAC and Hero had us on our way in no time. Will be back soon. read more

This is a sports bar / restaurant located right outside of the American Airlines Center! Although the food is average, the service is amazing. Came on a Friday afternoon with a huge group (20+) and the staff seated us right away and were friendly and accommodating. They even split the bill individually and our server took great care to make sure we all had what we wanted. The food is average though. I got the Ranchito burger and enjoyed it, although I would have expected it to taste more special with the queso + pico de gallo + aoili but it tasted more like a regular burger. read more

we had a last minute reservation for brunch for one of my best friends birthday! this place was amicable, the food was delicious and we had such a great time! I would definitely come here again.

My husband and I went to our first Mavericks game recently, and we decided to try Hero for brunch before heading into the arena. This place has a fun, festive atmosphere. Brunch is served on the weekends from 10am to 3pm. The "brunch" menu included a few non-breakfast items, and a few drink specials. The service was fast and friendly. The food was tasty and our bill was a fraction of what one would pay inside (especially for alcohol). I recommend stopping here for your pre or post game celebrations. read more

I usually do not leave reviews but my experience here before the stars game was awful. Avoid getting served by haiden or hayden at all cost. Was really rude when i asked her a drink question and was on her phone/talking to other people while i wanted another drink and my mom needed a refill. Awful service that ruined my mood nefore the stars game. read more

Perfect location if you're attending an event at American Airlines. Customer service 5 stars we never had to wait for our waiter lol he was always making his rounds. Handling the crowd well. The sampler platter was great for our group of 4, everyone liked something. My favs. Beef patties and the mozzarella sticks. The space was amazing large tv screens, outlets for chargers and plenty of room for everyone's gatherings! Take me back lol read more

Ok, it's a sports bar so ALL is balanced against that basis here. It's not haute cuisine, it's bar food, but certainly passable as such. So now that you've got your adjustments on level of food... here's the FUN part! This place is cavernous, screens at every angle, attentive staff, it's got to be one of the premier sports bars in the country. We watched Texas/OU there, with a much younger group of OU fans beside us "older folks," including my Swiss companion for whom THIS was a total cultural realignment, but we had a great time. Even WITH their team getting beaten, our nearest companions were gracious and the atmosphere simply maintains that feeling that, no matter, you're having great fun. It's right beside the arena where both the Dallas Mavericks play basketball and the Dallas Stars play hockey. I'm sure they have other great events there, too. If you are the type of person who finds sports bars are your thing, THIS one is NOT to be missed! read more

Went after a Mavs game and was surprised at how many tables they had available even though they were packed and how good service was. Great place to watch games. Service was great and our server was awesome. Also, they do not shortchange you on food! The appetizer nachos was enough to feed a family. The brownie was loaded with ice cream and whip cream. I was very impressed. The burger and fries were good too. I really like this place and would be happy to return for future events. read more

My friend and I went here last night during a Mavericks game, awesome location! My friend ordered a burger well done. However, it was not cooked well done. So she asked them to remake it. The staff was very accommodating, professional, and polite. However, when she got the second burger, it was also not cooked well done. She had to return it again. This time, the manager Came over and apologized profusely, and allowed my friend to order something else which she did. The manager also said she was going to take care of our bill since she had to return it twice. Other than the burger, being undercooked, everything else was delicious. Thank you so much to our waitress and.Ashlyn and Giselle. I would go back. read more

A random stop by before a mavs game and was pleasantly surprised! We got the steak nachos, loaded and yummy! Fresh ingredients. And we got a lb of chicken tenders with buffalo and ranch sauces. Sauces were unique and yum, ranch was tangy and pickely and buffalo was a little sweet and reminded me of hot honey. Definitely would try this place again! read more

This was a cool spot. I was staying at the hotel across the street so did not have to deal with parking. It is quite big and has a big bar. We sat at the bar and watched the Astros play. We did not have anything to eat so can comment on that we just a few beers and enjoyed the atmosphere. As far as the people there were a lot of people eye candy for both men and women. Because of the location and being a sports bar the demographic is mid 20's-late 30's I do recommend and would visit again read more

By luck came across this sports bar before an AAC event. It's a great location. Service is good and drinks are reasonable. My only concern was being charged for something I didn't order and they would not take it off my bill. Simply means their tip paid for the over charge. read more

Been here quite a few games to watch different sporting events. Tons of seating, multiple bars, plenty of TVs and a massive projector in the back room. Staff are great and service is always solid. This time I went for a rangers World Series game and I decided to get dinner. I ordered the Buffalo popcorn chicken and the deluxe burger. Popcorn chicken had a nice crunch and crispy exterior and tender juicy chicken inside. The deluxe burger was damn good. Soft sesame bun, juicy patty cooked perfectly medium rare/medium, nice crunch to the pickles, caramelized onions and the thousand island tops it off perfectly. read more

The food here is surprisingly really good for bar food! The crispy chicken honey mustard salad is delicious and probably one of the best salads I've had. It has avocado, nuts, chicken and fruit which are all the things I like in a salad. I'm not sure if the honey mustard vinaigrette is made in house but it was very tasty! My husband ordered 1/2 chicken and asked to be tossed in buffalo sauce, yum! The fries and tator tots also had a great flavor. The vibe is upbeat and loveeee that it's in the same plaza as AA center! It was the perfect place to grab some food before a show. Although it's a bar it is still kid friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

Hero by HG - CRISPY HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN SALAD - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great service, super fun atmosphere but just okay food. I didn't realize it was an HG concept, if I had known that I wouldn't have eaten here. Personally I'm not a huge fan of their healthy-ish food, it always seems to be missing something for me. We tried the Caesar salad (really not a fan), and cheese sticks (just okay but not terrible). The strawberry lemonade however was amazing, so that was a positive. Again, the service was super awesome and this place is huge and literally next door to the stadium so definitely a fun place to be for any sporting event. read more

We went in a little more than hour before close on a Friday night (posting closing time on their website is midnight). They were closing early with no explanation & the service was suuuuuuuuper rude!
