ED'S TAVERN SPORTS BAR AND RESTAURANT – Restaurant

The Parrish outpost of Ed's Tavern sits at 9588 Buffalo Road in Palmetto, one of four locations run by the same Manatee-area sports-bar operator behind the Lakewood Ranch original. The kitchen serves the shared menu of shareable apps, wings in a long list of dry rubs and signature sauces, smashburgers, and pizzas like the Meat Lovers and a garlic-sauce Margherita. Weekly events fill the calendar, from live music and comedy nights to trivia and Texas Hold'Em poker, with happy hour running 3 to 7 every day. Doors stay open past midnight on weekends, keeping the sports-and-a-cold-beer crowd well fed late.
