When the evenings start to cool down and the buzz of football season fills the air, Bradenton locals know where to go for the perfect mix of food, drinks, and entertainment, Ed’s Tavern. Known not only as one of the most popular restaurants in Lakewood Ranch, we’ve built a reputation as the heart of Bradenton live music. September is one of our favorite months to showcase local talent, serve up seasonal cocktails, and bring the community together.
At Ed’s, live music isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of who we are. Our weekly events calendar features talented local artists who bring energy, style, and personality to every set.
Every performance creates a unique atmosphere, sometimes laid-back, sometimes electric, but always memorable.
One of the reasons locals say they love Ed’s Tavern is the balance we strike: we’re not just another stop for Bradenton live music, we’re a place where the experience feels personal.
As a family-owned tavern with deep roots in the Lakewood Ranch area, we’ve worked to create an environment where guests don’t just listen to music—they connect with friends, discover new local talent, and savor incredible food and drinks. Many of our regulars mention in Yelp and Google reviews that they come for the music but stay for the sense of community and our attentive service.
Every season brings new reasons to raise a glass, and September is no exception. While our year-round favorites remain on the menu, our bartenders love to shake things up with drinks that complement the cooler evenings and live music vibes.
Pair these drinks with shareables like nachos, wings, or a classic burger, and you’ve got the makings of an unforgettable night out.
At Ed’s Tavern, we’ve seen firsthand how live music can transform a night. For us, supporting Bradenton-area artists isn’t just entertainment; it’s about giving local talent a stage to shine. Our partnerships with musicians have helped build lasting traditions and even launched careers.
From conversations at the bar to applause after a soulful cover, every night of live music strengthens the bond we share with our guests and the community.
If you’re looking for restaurants in Lakewood Ranch that deliver more than just a meal, Ed’s Tavern is the place to be. With a September packed full of Bradenton live music, seasonal drinks, and a community atmosphere that feels like home, every night promises something special.
So, gather your friends, mark your calendars, and join us this month for the kind of evenings that make Ed’s Tavern a Bradenton favorite.
