Nestled between the bluffs and lakes on Hwy 61 in Winona, Minnesota is where you will find this unique and local favorite bowling alley and brewpub. The vision became a reality in 1961 when the founder, Paul Wellington Gardner built Westgate Bowl, a 16 lane center which continues to flourish today. In 1988, the vision continued with Paul's family opening a Pub and Grill naming the establishment after their founder, Paul Wellington.

Wellington’s Pub and Grill which is attached to the bowling alley, quickly became a local favorite with its juicy burgers, smoked ribs, award winning chili, and outstanding menu. You will be sure to find your favorite sporting event on any of the 12 TV’s, large Plasma Hi-Def TV, and Hi-Def big screen, plus latest satellite and Hi-Def hook ups.

In 1995, another vision became a reality with the addition of Wellington's "Backwater Brewing Company". Located within Wellington’s, this brew-pub is the only brew-pub in Winona with the next closest brewery 30 miles away in La Crosse, WI.
