Top Places to Hang out in Edina at Night

For whatever reason, Edinains seem to love complaining that we have no night life. And, sure, maybe we aren’t full of nightclubs the way New York is. Maybe you have to go to Minneapolis to find a major business open after ten o'clock on a Saturday night, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun in Edina after dark. So, without further ado, here are our top places to hang out in Edina at night:

1. The Emergency Room: required by law to be open from dusk-till-dawn, here’s a place where the party never stops! You can sit around and watch TV, flirt with hot nurses, or play with medical equipment, not to mention you can always find someone interesting to talk to in the waiting room. They’ll even give you a ride there if you don’t feel like driving yourself! The only hitch is that you have to be injured or infirm in some way before going, but if you have a severe nut allergy that should be as easy as (pecan) pie.
2. Pamela Park: The skating rink closes at ten, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t fun to be had! You can play fetch with the feral coyotes that live in the woods, walk around in half-frozen swamp muck, or fly a kite at night like some kind of disturbed ghost-child!
3. The Internet: Get real, it’s the 21st century! Who even needs to step foot outside when you can surf the web for hours on end in complete isolation, trying to combat your desperate loneliness with an ever growing circle of internet friends who you will never, ever form meaningful relationships with!
4. Fat Kensington's Basement: Fat Kensington is always up for a good time!
5. Games by James: Why is one game store at Southdale open every hour of every day when the rest of the mall opens and closes at regular business hours? Why do the employees never seem to change shifts, eat, or blink? How come everyone who wins Friday Night Magic suddenly disappears and the next day a poppet in their likeness appears for sale on the counter? Don’t worry about it! Just pop in at Games by James whatever time of day or night you want, and have a grand old time at Edina’s best source of board games, dice, and dark magic!
6. Sleep: Sure, why not?
