Dee's Bar & Lounge

Came up from Hibbing to Ely and watched my Brother's Band play at Dee's Bar ...Been here a few times now and every time I enjoyed myself!!! Super fun time, bartenders are spectacular. People are very nice and they have great taste in music and I especially Love the Halloween Costumes this year ..My daughter and I dressed as scarecrows and took 2nd place and won a hundred bucks!!! Worth the drive and can't wait till my next visit!!!

The owner of this bar is the most impersonal, unprofessional, rude lady you’ll ever meet. There’s a group of 10-12 of us who come through annually and she’s rude every time we have interactions with her. Today we tried making conversation and she said she don’t care where we are from because we are all tourists and it don’t matter. Her bartenders are inexperienced and not knowledgeable about drinks, but pleasant. There’s music, pool tables, and darts, but there isn’t any room to play any of them. We decided today that we won’t be coming back to this rude lady’s bar in the future. And she don’t care, she has more tourists.

Only had a chance to stick my head in this place briefly but this looks like a great little dive bar with everything you'd need. (except for food... which is what we were looking for at that particular moment). I'll for sure be back to saddle up to the bar and get a good feel for the place.

A pub to put all pubs to rest. A lovely atmosphere, friendly crowd and affordable drinks. When driving many miles on the road in search of a place to just simply crack a cold one sit back and enjoy some friendly banters, dee's is the perfect place. If one could imagine the perfect divebar dee's would be as close as you can get. A great welcome to Ely.

Love Dee's bar! Long time establishment in Ely MN with great family history and ownership. Has hosted fantastic bands to dance and listen to for years with local MN favorites to new upcoming talent from elsewhere. Always a good time at Dee's! I've been asked for an update: Still a pleasant place to stop in as a regular or a tourist any time of day during open hours. I believe this is the oldest bar left in Ely now, still open. Lot's of family history. 😃 I've been prompted again to update as I stopped by while in town recently. There are spaced out high top tables in the back area by the pool table and stage area instead of the old booths. I think that changed a while back. Still a great ace to go. 😃
