They have a strange contest where they give you a tack. You provide a dollar bill and a quarter or two to wrap around it. If you can wrap it right and throw it hard enough to get it to stick into a wooden beam in the ceiling then you get a 'free' drink. They told us that when it gets humid everything starts to fall down from the ceiling and it rains quarters and dollar bills. Fun place!

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. Bernie Cassangrande, The owner of Bernie's Pub (the building…read morewhich The Alibi resides in) is rolling in his grave. These guys took a beautiful bar with character, stripped it, put in bad lighting, a pathetic alchohol selection, incompetent bartending, exhorbinant prices and a mean crowd that provides a less than enjoyable experience and is NOT representative of an Iron Range good time dive bar. I brought my boyfriend here to show him a cool bar on the Iron Range and instead of being proud, was embarrassed and promptly left after one overpriced beer. The ALibi lost out on at least a 100 dollar drink tab that night. And don't try to play pool, 3 balls don't drop and the table isnt balanced. I highly reccommend passing this joke of a place up and hitting up the Sand Bar for great service and a good time crowd.

We had around 30 people so their downstairs event room was a perfect size with tables & chairs or bar seating, dedicated washrooms, handicap accessible, and we were also able to step directly outside to a shaded courtyard (it was hot that day!). Multiple seating options are available outside, as well as a playground space in the corner for small people. We couldn't have asked for a better venue, the staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are great... we highly recommend them!

I recommend everything about the frisky otter, except perhaps the fish tacos…read more Which of the frisky otter because we were traveling with a dog to Ely and needed a place where they could join us for dinner. Frisky Outar allows dogs on the patio. We are a little bit worried about sitting outside because there was an air quality at work, but strangely in the Enclosed outdoor patio it was fine. The patio itself is adorable. Beautiful plants tasteful decor. We started the meal cocktails. They have a well curated selection of martinis. I sampled the cucumber lime one and it was divine. I don't typically drink martinis, but this tasted like summer with hints of lime and cucumber. I also tried the lemon drop martini, which I would be cautious about choosing. It's supposed to be a combination of three liquors, including lemon cello, but the lemon cello flavor was so dominant. I couldn't drink it. My friend and I both ordered the walleye fish tacos and point frankly were very disappointed. When they arrived, we practically had to dig into the tortilla shells to even see what fish there was. It looked like it was a chopped up leftovers from something else. Even worse, the fish was cold. We both sent ours back to Get warm fish. I think they might've just microwaved them or something, because what they brought back out was barely warm. But we just ate it anyways. Normally I would expect in a fish taco to have larger visible pieces of fish. These really just felt like leftovers from somewhere. We chose the sweet potato fries as our side, and they were excellent though. I am guessing they were pre made elsewhere and tossed in a fryer. There were many other interesting options on the menu, so I don't want to discount this restaurant. Give it a try, but just avoid the fish tacos. The servers were excellent. Very attentive, refilling our water responding to questions and also being gracious about us sending our tacos back. I should also mention they have a dog menu !! we ordered a side of chicken breast for our little goldendoodle and she absolutely loved it. There were multiple items to choose from. This really is the place in Ely for bringing your dog.

My first experience with the frisky otter, we arrived and we were greeted by a young lady. She was…read morevery nice. She asked us if we wanted to sit on the patio outside we said if there's availability for the patio, we would enjoy that. She gave us our menus seated us and said someone will be with you shortly While we were sitting there. One of the waiters took his time and cleaned off a table and provided the guest with their check. He continued to clean off tables and even as I raise my voice and said, could someone wait on us he immediately turned his back to us and walked as fast as he could in the other direction ! We had numerous employees walk past us, and even the manager or she could've been the owner walk past us numerous times 25 minutes later we still have not been greeted by a waiter or waitress. No one had brought us Water and no one has acknowledged us! My husband and I have been coming to the Ely area for over 45 years and we have seen restaurants come and go! I am going to predict that this restaurant is going to be one that is going to go in short order! maybe a better name for the restaurant instead of frisky otter is the lazy otter! One you have to offer something different unique that people don't usually get but in Ely, you can get a hamburger and fries at pretty much every restaurant in town! I was super disappointed after having to wait 25 minutes and realized I didn't wanna have to wait another 25 minutes for my meal to come and having to pay $20 for a hamburger! So we chose to get up and leave the restaurant not being acknowledged by anyone on our way out, but the owner or manager was hustling herself about to set up a table for a large group of people when she couldn't even take time to serve two people who had been waiting in her restaurant for over 25 minutes! Shame on you! Looks like the Dairy Queen is a better option at least when you go through their drive-through they acknowledge you immediately and their food cost about the same! If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would!
