Ed's No Name Bar

Reviews & Tips

  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!!

  A great hang if you find yourself in Winona. Great local beer on tap and check this out ... bring your own food! Bring in a pizza or we had Chinese delivered! Great music venue as well.

  Ed's is a kick-ass craft/micro-brew specializing bar which moonlights as a music venue. This bar is cozy but they recently expanded and opened up a mod lounge area where you can relax and hold a conversation without having to scream. They host the best of local and beyond musicians such as Charlie Parr and Moondawg. The walls are an art gallery of paintings by local artists. During the summer the rear patio opens up with a fire pit, some random tables and a big patch of motley grass. Enough space to have a beer, enjoy the brief Minnesota summer, and chat with an eclectic mix of patrons.
  This is hands down one of the best bars in Winona with excellent service, music and ambiance.
