Immediate and irreparable injury will result if the State is required to wait until Alibi Drinkery can be fully heard in opposition to the State’s request for temporary injunctive relief, Ellison said in a Thursday statement.
Lisa Zarza, co-owner of the establishment, did not respond to messages from Fox News or calls to the restaurant.
In court documents, Ellison cited Zarza s statements to local media outlets that she intended to stay open despite the protocols and photos of the restaurant showing crowds not wearing masks inside. He said she was asked in a media interview what she would do if state officials asked her to close.

Merrifield bar facing liquor license suspension for violating order
By FOX 9 Staff
(FOX 9)
MERRIFIELD, Minn .(FOX 9) - A Merrifield, Minnesota restaurant is now facing a potential 60-day suspension of its liquor license for defying the governor s current order against on-site dining services due to the pandemic.
According to the Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division, Mission Tavern opened for in-person dining on Nov. 25, but later complied with the order after receiving a cease-and-desist order from the Minnesota Department of Health on Nov. 30.
Mission Tavern, however, reopened on Dec. 11, which prompted another cease-and-desist order and an administrative penalty order that included a $10,000 fine. The bar continues to remain open, so DPS is now pursuing a liquor license suspension, pending a hearing with an administrative law judge.
