Edina punches above its weight when it comes to places to raise a glass. Wooden Hill Brewing Company anchors the local craft beer scene with rotating taps and a welcoming taproom, while the cocktail lounges near the Galleria and The Westin Edina Galleria draw a more dressed-up crowd looking for creative drinks and polished ambiance. Whether you're winding down a long week or kicking off a night out, the city's bars and lounges deliver — without the noise and crowds of a bigger nightlife district.
Craft Beer in Edina
Wooden Hill Brewing Company is Edina's own craft brewery, offering a rotating lineup of beers brewed on-site. The taproom is a relaxed, neighborhood-friendly space well suited to a weeknight pint or a longer hang with friends.
Edina's location within the Twin Cities metro also puts it within easy reach of the broader regional craft beer scene, but Wooden Hill gives the city its own local anchor worth supporting first.

Cocktail Lounges & Hotel Bars
The bar program at The Westin Edina Galleria is one of the city's most dependable spots for a well-made cocktail in a sophisticated setting. Connected to the Galleria shopping center, it draws both hotel guests and local regulars who appreciate a thoughtfully curated drinks list and a quiet, comfortable atmosphere.
Around the Galleria and along 50th & France, several restaurants double as excellent late-evening spots where the bar gets as much attention as the kitchen. The neighborhood energy stays convivial without veering into loud or chaotic — exactly what Edina regulars come back for.
Where to Go for a Nightcap
Edina's after-dinner scene is understated but genuinely satisfying. Puttshack at Southdale Center offers a uniquely entertaining après option — tech-infused mini golf paired with a full cocktail menu — making it a standout choice for groups.
For something quieter, the lounge areas in and around the Galleria are ideal for a post-dinner glass of wine or a slow-sipping whiskey. The Southdale Center area also has casual bar options worth exploring when you're on that side of Edina.
