    This place had the worst greasy hamburger I've ever eaten! A pool of fat on the top made the bun go flat an soggy. I would look elsewhere!

    Great hidden gem for Winona. I especially like their black and blu burger. Great place to grab a beer, burger and watch the game. They also have popcorn stall if your waiting for a table.

    The food was not bad.  They have a nice selection of beers on tap and they make their own brew which is pretty good.  Hey your in Winona, MN. so there is not much to choose in the way of food.  Give it a try if you are in this town.

    Might be the best place to have a burger in good ol Winona, their steak is very good as well.

    You absolutely have to try the Cajun burger, i love the fresh sauteed  bell peppers  that come with the burger, its truly a must try for spicy and/or Cajun lovers.

    The staff and bartenders are very friendly, its a great place to relax and shoot some pool. Plenty of parking options which was never a problem in Winona.

    On Tuesdays they have 2 for 1's!!! so be sure to go on Tuesday, although the wait could be long, also try their humongous roast beef sandwich.

    They also host comedy shows and other events downstairs in their banquet hall. Be sure to try Bub's, and yes it is pronounced BOOOBS, LOL.

    Gordon Ramsey where are you! This place needs help! This beautiful old Elks building is a real piece of Winona history largely untouched. But the food is all pre prepared frozen bar food. Please guys make it special. Fresh potatoes, local beef and grass fed options would make a good start. One trip to the rest room and I'm done, it's consistently filthy! The dust and, whatever those spots are, remain week after week.  No excuse for this lack of detail!

    I was traveling through Winona and I can honestly say, this is the first time Yelp has let me down. I pulled up the Yelp app on my phone and noticed Bub's Brewing Co. was the most rated and highest rated joint in town. I made my way there smiling from ear-to-ear.

    The atmosphere both inside and out is fantastic. A very well setup bar and grill with a nice local Irish flavor to it. They have a few pool tables, TV's to watch the big game and a beautiful bar packed with all kinds of brews.

    I read the rave reviews about their burgers and fries; how could I not order that, right? I decided on the "cb" burger, a beef patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce. My fiancee' had the Grande, Bub's version of a chili cheese burger. We also had the Winona fries as an appetizer because again, we read about them in reviews!

    I couldn't have been more disappointed with this food. I could have easily made everything we ate by going to the grocery store and busting out my gas grill. The Winona fries were nothing special at all. Cheap crinkle cut fries from a bag draped in nacho cheese sauce and then topped with powdery Cajun seasoning. The fries weren't seasoned (tossed) with the Cajun, it was simply splashed over the nacho cheese. Huh?  

    I knew this was a bad sign!

    The burgers came and again,.more standard food prepackaged vendor food. The burgers were not handmade, they were from a box for sure. We tore the meat apart and could easily tell they were processed patties. The taste was similar to Burger King, they had a unnatural meat taste. Similar to how a thin and lifeless Whopper tastes like a "flame broiled" patty. Couldn't not get any seasoning taste at all from the meat, just this overly harsh "artificial meat" taste. The cheddar? From a processed package. The bacon? Precooked and uninspiring. The onion rings? Also could tell they were pre-made and simply fried by our cook.

    Bub's takes no special care in creating their dishes. It's simply boxed food they fry, cook-through, heat up and serve to their customers. How is that special? How is that even cooking? I've had many burgers in my life, light years better than what Bub's is turning out. How in the world is this the most highly rated joint in Winona? I'm not sure what other posters are thinking with these four and five star reviews. I can't speak about their beer, it seemed like a plentiful selection, but the food is NOT WORTH IT! Garbage.

    Atmosphere: B+
    Beer/Bar: B+
    Food: D+

    Foodies, keep on moving. Nothing to see here.

    Those in Winona who think Bub's is great food. Get out more!

    There will be a special place in my hear for Bub's  as long as they continue to make the delicious Cellar Mushrooms. If you want a fun place to get beers, some decent food,  and a game of foosball our two don't pass up this gem. One word of warning, this place is chalk full of smelly hippies, especially on a Friday or Saturday night around 9:00.

    I ate at Bub's for the first time today, and it was okay. Not great, as I anticipated after reading the Yelp reviews and rating. I had a rueben sandwich, substituting onion rings for the usual potato chips (total $8.50). It wasn't anything I couldn't have easily made at home with ingredients found at the grocery store -- pressed corned beef, bland rye bread, very little or no sauerkraut and a side of boring bulk-style 1000 island dressing. The onion rings were similar to Mrs. Paul's frozen rings.
    The Bub's Blackforest (stout style) beer was good. The Bub's Amber was tasteless and over-carbonated. All in all, an okay dining experience, but at $33 including tip for two at lunch, not a place I would frequent if I lived in Winona.

    They have Guinness on tap. That's five stars in my book.

    Jokes aside, great place for an after work drink. I didn't have any food, but Guinness is pretty much a meal in itself.

    Highly recommended!

    While on a cross-country road trip we stopped here because of the great Yelp reviews.  While it was a good atmosphere for families and the teenage waitstaff was friendly the food was marginal bar food at best.  I had one of the "famous" cheeseburger and it came out and was small, over cooked (medium well).   The Reuben we had was sort of just thrown together.  There are plenty of fast food options in Winona and unless you are looking for a beer (we weren't) they are a better value for your money.

    You want a reason to ask someone if they like Boobs?

    Its pronounced Boobs but spelled Bub's and I love it.  I was here for work and we had our final reception here.  It is remiscient of the Billy Goat in Chicago with their own brew in the following kinds:

    Light
    Red
    Dark

    all are awesome.

    Standard bar food but I need to go back and try more since my trip was just appetizers though the fried mushrooms were injected with cream cheese....soo good!

    If anything they get five stars for their name alone.  Who doesn't love Boobs - I mean Bub's!

    If you're looking for glorious tasting burgers, this is the place.  The free popcorn is nice, and the atmosphere is great.  I recommend the "All American", as it is a classic burger with a sunny side up egg on it.

    Bub's is one of the very few places I make a point to stop at when I drive through Winona.

    Bub's was one of the few meals that I enjoyed while out in Winona for a couple of weeks.  My favorite was the All American Burger with the eggs, bacon, and the cheeseburger.  Good selection of beer, and the service was ok.  Much better than the Perkin's at the hotel that Fastenal puts you up in.  Well worth the ride into town.

    I don't know that I'd say Bub's is the best bar & grill in Winona, but it's definitely up there. This place gets way busy if you don't time it right, but it's worth waiting because their burgers and fries are fantastic. Some nights they have live music, which can be good or bad depending on who's playing, but overall the atmosphere is friendly. It's one of the few places that's consistently popular with both the college crowd and the locals, and one of the few places that doesn't feel like it's overrun with either.

    If you get a chance, don't pass up the Winona fries or cellar mushrooms, the two greatest apps on the menu.

    No trip to Winona is complete without a visit to Bub's.  Their burgers are literally to die for.  There's so much stuff you know is not good for you stacked on them that you're probably going to lose a few months off your life after consuming one.

    Seriously, I could feel my arteries harden.

    Their house brews are pretty good as well, I suggest the red.  It's one of the better microbrew ales I've had.  I doubt they brew the beers on-site because the bar also serves liquor.  But I don't know why you would want liquor when you probably have Winona's best beer selection.
