I travel a fair amount, and have seen my share of crazy, trendy bars. It's _always_ a pleasure to come home and hang out at the best bar in Winona, MN.
Ed's decor is artsy, playful and decidedly down-to-earth. The patrons are friendly and always interesting. The live acts that Ed's pulls in from all over MN and beyond are quite often amazing. The beer selection is excellent and, despite what another reviewer experienced, the bartenders are knowledgable in all manner of cocktails. Good whiskey selection, too, right up to the top shelf.
The best bar for great music, unique art and character. Don't be fooled by the smaller setting, this bar has attracted music acts from all around the midwest. They also have the best selection of beers in Winona.
Come with friends and check out the local music schedule so you don't miss out.
This is the best beer bar in Winona, with a roation of taps from brewers such as Summit and Surly from Minnesota, plus theusual suspects to be found in any good beer bar: Bells, Founders, Sierra Nevada, boulder, Langunitas, Dark Horse, Victory, etc. Ed knows beer, and you won't get a slinky pint here. He has 6 craft taps, but they change so often it seems like many more, and this also means the beer is fresh. I should also mention Ed's also has the best live music in town, from punk rock to folk, and almost always free of cover charge. Ed's is the best!!
