Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in Minneapolis. No frills, no drama, and they won't kick you out for ordering a Budweiser. Two for ones during happy hour, and the best chicken wings you will ever put in your mouth.

Look for a hidden door behind the Bachelor Farmer. There are fairy lights strung up. Don't worry, you're in the right place, just open the door.

This little speakeasy is a little tricky to find. You have to go down an alley and behind some dumpsters. You'll see a queue at a door with a red light over it. Worth going, if you're up for the challenge of finding it! Ask for Angel, she's delightful.

Just a half block away from the studio. One of my favorite places in all of MPLS. Great for a picnic on the warmer days, or a quick walk for a breath of fresh air on a cold winter day.

There are a few hiking trails through this park. Also, you can grab a NiceRide (citywide bikeshare) and ride to it on the Midtown Greenway (about a 6 mile ride, one way). (I only recommend riding there in the warmer weather, not during the cold months.)
