Sam’z Place is a local favorite that is off the beaten path. The watering hole features indoor and outdoor seating, horseshoes, pool, darts, and more.
Come on out, catch a game, & check out the new remodel. So many new things happening. Eight new beers on tap!
The Boathouse Brewpub is a place to gather with friends and enjoy great food and drinks. We brew a variety of beers in our in-house brewery and offer “to-go” beer growlers in glass and plastic (BWCA Approved).

Coffee + Wine Bar located in Downtown Ely, MN.
Northern Grounds, a long time Ely favorite has come back to life in downtown! Located at the intersection of Central Ave. & Sheridan St., the former VFW has also experienced a revival of its own. Recently remodeled, the brick and tin work is swoon-worthy.
We welcome guests to enjoy fine wines, craft beers and on-site roasted coffee as well as the baked goods and accompaniments guaranteed to please. Some of the most noteworthy additions are pour-over single origin coffee, nitro coffee, 47 wines by the glass, and craft cocktails!
