Being one of the few establishments on E. 4th Street, Bub’s is nearly impossible to miss. With big-screen televisions hanging in almost every corner, football addicts can eat their meals without missing a single play.

The restaurant’s spacious and energetic atmosphere, friendly service and affordable prices are enough to attract even non-sports fans.

My roommate and I recently visited Bub’s for a quick lunch around 1 p.m. Before we even walked through the front door, we couldn’t help but notice the enthusiastic screams coming from inside the restaurant. From that moment, we knew our quick lunch would turn into an afternoon event.

We mustered the courage to walk through the big green entrance, and we immediately faced an old but lively crowd watching TV at the bar. After standing in the entryway for a good minute or two, we finally noticed the “Please Seat Yourself” sign and made our way to an empty booth towards the back of the restaurant.

Even though Bub’s offers an impressive selection of draft and import beer, we opted for diet sodas instead. To start out, we shared an order of the Bub’s Nachos Supreme priced at $4.75. Although the appetizer took almost twenty minutes to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait.

Since my roommate was still waking up, she was in the mood for breakfast and ordered the All-American Burger for $6.95. Her beef patty was covered with ham, bacon, American cheese and a fried egg. Although it was extremely messy to eat, she demolished every last bite.

For my entrée, I ordered the Grilled Cheese with Tomato for $3.75. Unlike many restaurants in Winona, Bub’s offers a decent
selection of vegetarian options to choose from. The tomato added a contemporary touch to an old time classic.

Bub’s Brewing Company Eatery & Saloon offers lunch and dinner to eat-in or carryout. Bub’s is open seven days a week, opening daily at 11:30 a.m. and closing at 1 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 p.m. on Sundays. Weekday happy hour is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
