“Each day the defendant remains in violation of the injunction, the health and welfare of the public are at risk and are being irreparably harmed,” Abrams wrote in his ruling.
Alibi co-owner Lisa Monet Zarza initially complied with the closure order, but later advertised the club would reopen Dec. 15.
Attorney General Keith Ellison sued the restaurant’s owners after it reopened, but it closed again after the state obtained a temporary restraining order. The owners reopened the establishment again on New Year’s Eve and have stayed open since.
Zarza’s attorney, Michael Padden, declined to comment on the judge’s order because he had not yet reviewed it.
Alibi Drinkery has continued to serve patrons food and drinks every day since reopening Dec. 31.

LAKEVILLE, Minn. A Lakeville bar continues to thumb its nose at the state by remaining open even as the effort to shut them down plays out in court.
A show-cause hearing was held Tuesday, Jan. 5, in front of Dakota County District Judge Jerome Abrams over whether Alibi Drinkery, located in the city’s historic downtown area, is in contempt of court. It follows Abrams’ decision to hand down a temporary injunction on New Year’s Eve the same day the bar opened back up after complying for nine days with a Dec. 17 lawsuit filed by the state s attorney’s office to remain closed for indoor, on-premises dining through Jan. 10.
