A Night Out With Friends in West Bradenton
Secure the best seats in the house for the big game, compete over cold beers, or challenge your crew on the simulator. Ed's Tavern Manatee is where the night actually starts, whether you're heading out after a day on Anna Maria Island or just looking for something better than a standard bar night in West Bradenton.
Not Your Average Night Out Near Anna Maria Island
Most nights out in West Bradenton follow the same script. Find a place, hope there's a table, order the same thing, call it a night. Ed's Tavern Manatee runs a different playbook.
We built the Sporting Suite for exactly this: a private room with an indoor golf and multi-sport simulator, wall-to-wall HD screens, and a full bar that keeps pace with whatever your group has planned. Whether your crew is coming straight from the beaches of Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, or Palma Sola, or just looking for things to do in West Bradenton on a Wednesday night, this is the room built for it.
Challenge Your Crew on the Golf and Sports Simulator
The Full Swing simulator at Ed's Tavern Manatee is West Bradenton's only private indoor golf simulator, and it does not stop at golf. The same setup covers a full lineup of sports for groups who want more than a round of drinks.
Set up a tournament. Run a bracket. Put the group chat's self-declared golf champion to the test. The immersive screen and multiplayer format turn a standard night out into something your group is still talking about next week.
- Golf plus additional sports in one private room
- Multiplayer format built for groups
- Tournament and bracket formats available
- Private room means your group controls the energy
