It's the bar that time forgot in the town that time stopped looking for about 20 years ago. It's a friendly place, seems like a locals hangout but a very welcoming atmosphere. Great place to go when depression strikes and you want to be surrounded by something worse.

Cool little spot with a friendly bar, pool table and tons of good MOJO 👍 Especially liked the Pigs Eye sing hanging out back.

The Bartender, Maddy was kind, funny, and on top of her surroundings. The bar was full and working solo there was not a time where she lost her smile.knows how to talk with others well! Thanks for the Awesome Afternoon Maddy💕
Best bar in America, never felt so welcomed and so at home, I walked in and it felt like an episode of cheers. The bartenders were amazing and the owner is super nice. Will for sure be coming back
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. 😃
It was a great experience. The locals welcome you like you are one of them. They even invited us to shoot darts with them. It is a good time and would highly recommend it.
Came to Ely and now, after a long day of shopping, walking, sight-seeing, and other activities, you want a place to unwind? Someplace to throw some darts, hit some pool balls, or try your luck with pulltabs? Then Dee's is your place! Whether it's the absolutely amazing service by the staff (Be sure to say hi to Mike if you see him!) Or the multiple colour TVs in the place. It's the spot for regulars and newcomers alike. Go out back for a smoke or enjoy some jukebox tunes! Dee's has everything you need while maintaining a chill and relaxing setting. Very easy on the eyes!
The only reason I have a star off is because the bathrooms don't have stall doors, so no one is sleeping off a hangover, but also gets you a bit too cramped for my liking.
