ABOUT US
Welcome to Ed's Tavern, your neighborhood home for great food, cold drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a win, no matter the score.
Our History & Growth
What started as a single location on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch has grown into one of Manatee County's most recognized sports bar brands. After expanding to State Road 64 in 2024 and Parrish in 2025, we are proud to open our newest chapter right here on Manatee Avenue West. Ed's Tavern West Bradenton brings the same award-winning food, cold drinks, and community energy that locals have come to love, now closer than ever for residents of West Bradenton, Palma Sola, and beachgoers heading to and from Anna Maria Island.
