The 3 times we went this week, 2 of the 3 the service was a joke. As someone who worked in the food industry in a busy restaurant, this is not how servers should be.

They want nothing to do with locals, they falsified a reservation so we had to scramble and make last minUte arrangements-- all very unprofessional. Don't give them your business, they don't want it.

First note : CASH ONLY!…read more It is an entirely classic Minnesota dive. Pull tabs, darts and pool, tavern pizza, beers and shots. The beer is cold, the pizza is hot, and it is exactly what you need to fuel before a BWCA adventure or celebrate finishing one. I actually enjoyed this more than Boathouse, mainly just I've not gotten into Boathouse's beers. Service was perfectly friendly bar service, they welcome your money regardless of who you are. Cute Goth bartender didn't hurt either. The fifth star because many dives don't have a good IPA and they have two, Bells and Warpigs.

This place was very small with not much for lighting. Then when it came to our bill, they didn't give us the incorrect change back so went up to the bar and she tried pulling a fast one on me by saying sorry let me fix that, went to the till and came back and gave me exactly what she did the first time, I had to help her out with that.

Zaverl's is a great dive bar that has an amazing karaoke night…read more While I was visiting, Ely, my cousin said we all had to experience the karaoke night at Zarerl's. I don't know what blew me away, more. The fact that, Ed Ely the host was 80 years old, or some of the incredible voices that performed. Karaoke was out on the spacious patio. In addition to the monitor that the performer used, there was an addition big screen for the audience to follow along. There were many times that it was more like a sing-a-long, then a single performance. What also made it fun, was that the crowd applauded and cheered every performer, no matter how good or bad they were. We ordered a supreme pizza to enjoy while watching all the singers. It was delicious for a dive bar pizza. I fairly certain, it was frozen, but it was damn good. The inside of the bar was the original vintage decor, which made it a classic dive bar. Another nice touch, the owner herself was serving the tables out on the patio. She was a delight to talk and laugh with. In Ely, I recommend you stop by and have some fun.
