The very first Pizza Luce location in Minnesota is unique in that it created the desire for many more Pizza Luces, even one up in Duluth. Another thing that makes this Pizza Luce unique is that it is open until 3:30 am on Fridays and Saturdays. After the bar scene, party people can grab a slice of fresh Minneapolis pizza among the Warehouse District. Go classic with a slice of cheese or be adventurous and try the Baked Potato Pizza. The college crowd will flock to Pizza Luce after closing time so head over early and get a table.

If you find yourself on the St Paul side of the Twin Cities after bar close, you could be fortunate enough to be able to cap you night off without too much of a drive to a late night hangout. The Uptowner Cafe on Grand offers the classic diner atmosphere of greasy burgers, hashbrowns, and pancakes fresh off the griddle. Unlike your bar experience, there is plenty of parking but similar to the bar experience there is plenty of people too. Enjoy the energetic crowd along with your coffee until 6 am on Saturday and Sunday.

This 22-hour joint is a great place for the after-hours munchies. They serve up a solid vegetarian menu with a delicious and huge amount of options. While it may be a little hipster, the Hard Times Cafe is cheap and provides fast counter service. Portions are huge here - share a dish or bring some home for lunch the next day. The Cafe is located on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota so it is usually crawling with college kids. Grab a meat-free dish and socialize all night long.
