$9 for a glass of whine? $650 for beer? Must have been on draft.

They give you a cup for water that cost nothing.

Cup for water? Not with water? 🤔

O, agree.

I'm a BYOB guy when ever I can.
We brought in water and "were talked to"...............the lady was very nice, she brought us water, but we had containers. :22yikes:

Not to mention all the folks that stole their wine glasses. You have to leave your licenses to drink from a “real” glass. Otherwise you get your wine in a plastic cup.

So to the folks that did that, thank you!

It seems like a lot of people buy there wine by the bottle at Edna's, I'm guessing it a little bit better deal.

Even if I only want one glass? Can I get a "to go" bag for my leftovers?

WHO SAYS SO?? Water with lemon is a cheapskate lemonade that they sweeten with the sugar or splenda the steal. Charge a buck for lemon on the side! List it with the drinks. 25 cents for a straw. Cheap Bassasstards! (If anything is misspelled, it's the fault of Otto Koreckt) 🧐

That single policy keeps me away. I go back about once a year to see if it has changed... not yet.

I certainly understand keeping the BYOBers out, this is a business not a public picnic area. But I hate drinking warm beer, I hate drinking beer with ice even more, and I'm not interested in balancing one plastic cup on top of ice in another plastic cup. Yeti has a whole line of containers to help keep cold beer cold - Edna's is the only place I am aware of with a policy against them.

Of course it's cheaper at home, but the view and the people and the entertainment are the same day after day at home. .

I like stability. And my recliner. And my wife still looks fabulous to me.

Heard hear first! GOD'S real name is IGLOO!
(yes, it's just a joke. It's safe to laugh. God has a sense of humor or he couldn't have given us one.)

Are you sitting in your car or cart? Just curious. 🫠😉

Neither one. I keep a few sealed airline size bottles in the spare tire compartment of my SUV, ice and cup in my cooler. When my wife orders a glass of wine from Edna's I go out and stand outside the back of my car, mix a drink and walk around the parking lot or walking trail, toss the cup and empty bottle in the trash and go back to the music. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too cheap to buy drinks but at that particular location there is nothing available and we do pay for my wife's wine there with no complaints. We prefer the squares or Sawgrass.

Glad you are getting your 10,000 steps. Have a great day!

You have to get the ice and water from the machine.

They should have upgraded to a full liqour license when they added the new kitchen. I prefer decent vodka with tonic to beer, wine, or hops based stuff.
