USA TODAY named its Bars of the Year. This Oklahoma City favorite made the list

Edna's in Oklahoma City made USA TODAY’s list of best bars in the country.

The USA TODAY Bars of the Year 2024 list , released today, features 27 bars from dives to high-end cocktail bars.

"It's pretty crazy and quite an honor," said Tammy Lucas, owner of Edna's and daughter of the bars originator and namesake Edna Scott. "My mom just built such a legacy there. That place has a life of its own. It's bigger than us. She's just always there with her hands on everything and we're just blessed."

USA TODAY Network food journalists live and work in states across the country. They know their communities, and they pooled their expertise to select the list, which includes the places they spend their time and recommend to readers and friends.

Why Edna's was named one of the best bars

Edna's was chosen because of its 35-year history in the community, legendary beer-based cocktail The Lunchbox, signature interior wall decorations and overall friendly and welcoming vibes.
