Nick & Eddie – There’s no corkage fee if you bring your own bottle of wine, but you don’t need to tell your friends that. Make them sneak boxed wine bladders under their coats.

1419 – You can smoke indoors. Light up and head to the ceiling, following a bunch of hipster girls in too-high heels who are giggling from too much pot. On the roof, you have a view of the whole city. The floor is rubbery and unstable, but everything’s ok … people are flashing each other and drinking rum out of Coke cans … you’d have to drink a whole lot of that concoction before you fell off the roof.

Love Power – When they turn on that smoke machine, all bets are off. BONUS: Stop in the basement sanctuary to have your wine trans-substantiated.

Uptown Theatre – It’s the only movie theater in Minneapolis that still has a balcony. Need we say more? (P.S. If you drop a bottle or can and it rolls down the whole theater, it WILL be loud. Another reason to head balcony-ward.)

Block parties – It’s generous of Summit Brewing to sponsor many of these community celebrations. Raise your hip flask in a subtle toast in the general direction of the $5 beer tent.

Shakespeare in the Park – WWWD? (What would Will do?) Stock the picnic basket with booze, that’s what. He also smoked cinnamon, but we don’t have to do everything Will did.

Grand Old Day – What’s Grand Old Day like not drunk? We don’t remember.

Zombie Pub Crawl – It’s sheer anarchy, so you can get away with doing just about anything in public. Bringing your own hooch is a necessity here, given how packed the bars are and how much you do not want to be sober on a zombie pub crawl.

Como Zoo – Just slip a little Karkov into that dolphin-shaped souvenir sipper. Careful! The orangutans are thirsty, and they have opposable toes.

The Kitty Cat Klub – There’s a photo booth where you can easily pour a flask into a soda. Or just go in the hide-and-go-seek-ready basement and do whatever the hell you want down there.

Spin Nightclub – If you dress scantily enough, the bouncers will happily watch you pull a jug of Gallo out of your purse and take a few chugs.

Public library – A flask of scotch and a copy of Lady Chatterley’s Lover make for a delightfully cozy Sunday afternoon.

Red Stag Supperclub – The waitress watched us sit on an empty Four Loko can without showing any concern. You’re probably good.

UMN English Department Graduate Office – Nevermind the mini fridge in the back which, as a fellow graduate student tells me, can hold exactly “not enough beers.” The grad office also boasts a sleeper sofa, which has boosted the office’s Sexy Quotient from -10,000,000 to a sultry 2. English grads like to get tanked, unfold the couch, feel each other up, and whisper sweet nothings about the Chicago Manual of Style in each other’s ears.
