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.
I agree, drank more than enough beer and wine over the years and just don't like it anymore and only drink vodka now. They are definitely losing business without the license however they are generally packed and maybe don't see the need to have one.

I believe the liquor license for beer & wine only is cheaper and easier to obtain. Serving spirits is another level, which they may not want to bother with.

We enjoy Edna’s and we find it very relaxing and love the music. We often go there with groups of friends. If you are purchasing a drink or two the prices seem fair for the great ambiance. If you are not a social drinker and need to drink more than a few drinks you probably should buy a bottle and a case of beer and keep them in your cart, or your car and certainly have a substantial cache at home. You don’t want to run out!

I feel sad for places like Ednas. If you can't afford to go there, dont. I pray I never get so cheap I have to steal music and facility space from a place like Ednas, then bad mouth them on line. For those that have never been, Ednas is a GEM in the Villages As long as you do not need to steal ketchup packages from McDonals, Edna's is also reasonably priced.

We love Edna's. Live music 7 days a week and twice on Saturday and Sunday. Happy hour from 3 to 5 reduces the pain a little. On top of that they have the best staff ever. There is no place in the Villages that tries harder to please their customers than Edna's. I have never been there without at least one employee calling me by name. They are not afraid to try new things in the kitchen and the food is way above what you might expect. Top quality. It's probably not for everyone but we like spending our time and money there. Well worth it to us.

Some people don’t even consider the cost to run a business. If they ever owned a business they would totally understand why a glass of wine costs so much.

Overpriced and under performing.

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.
ednas management knows this, has witnessed it as well youre not that sneaky, cameras EVERYWHERE

Breath, Breath.

No one is stealing music. No one is stealing space.

Just like the squares................this is all free and there is not drink minimum or rent required.

They may not even qualify for a liquor license. It depends on what premises you own or lease and how much food you serve.

Hint: Don’t go back and stop complaining….get a hobby! Cheapskate!

Why would you assume that I think I'm sneaky. I drink my cocktails that Edna's doesn't offer in the parking lot or walking path out in the open not hiding from anyone or any camera and I really don't care who know's it, my wife on the other hand does not come out from our seating and enjoys her wine while listening. I heavily tip everywhere I go including Edna's. You are not as smart as you think you are Minoletti and are most likely one of those that tips with pocket change.

Love Edna’s - such a beautiful place to chill, whether there is music playing or not. I don’t drink alcohol (I know an anomaly here in The Villages), so liquor prices aren’t an issue for me.

Soft drinks are priced reasonably, and free refills. Food options are good and priced competitively.

Grateful for this venue.
